- Watch Rick & Morty S9 for free via YouTube TV free trial (US only)
- Abroad? Watch YouTube TV anywhere with NordVPN
- Episode 3 premiere: Sunday, June 7 at 11pm ET/PT (US & Canada)
Portal-jump back into the Morty-verse for Rick and Morty season 9, which continues this weekend with episode 3, titled Rick Fu Hustle. It all kicks off at Trader Joe's, before Rick and Morty take a trip to Boob World. Which, frankly, sounds a lot more grounded than the opening two episodes of S8.
After the bombshell revelation that Evil Morty has been forcing Rick to do his bidding, temporarily recasting him as a Morty-like figure, which led to the epic showdown in Rick's secret in the Bunker Realm and Evil Morty's imprisonment by Time Cops, we met Ted, Rick's care-free alter-ego.
Ted is – or, rather, was – a means by which Rick could take a break from being Rick, hanging out with his friends at the bowling alley and appreciating nature, unburdened by greatness. Unfortunately, he broke free of the illusion, following Rick home and descending into alcoholism.
The madcap irreverence that earned Rick and Morty such a huge and loyal following in the first place is still very much the backbone of the show, as demonstrated by Beth and Summer's altercation with anthropomorphic furniture, the floor turning to lava and the plentiful pop culture riffs, which for the latest instalment include Planet of the Apes and Kill Bill (Pai Mei unleashes the Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart-Technique on Rick).

Fans hoping to see more of an overarching storyline may be disappointed, although there are signs that poor Morty's deeply held sadness and exasperation are building towards something. There are introspective elements to some of this season's sci-fi adventures, and they're unlikely to reflect too well on Rick.
