BB paragraph before the main text: The
latest episode has exploded again! ! ! ! I repeat once again that
this drama is really amazing! !

Before watching the end, I believe that many friends simply viewed this episode as a simple "rick pickled cucumber adventure" just like this scum. Indeed: most of the time in the entire episode of this episode is spent on rick’s flesh-and-blood fights, and the scenes of piercing the brain and breaking the legs frequently appear. Compared with the second episode, the level of blood and violence is even greater. It seems that this season’s director team is We must carry the no lower limit to the end. .

In contrast, the unidentified psychological counseling of the trio of Dr. Wong and Morty interspersed in the middle made people look like black question marks. It was not until the end that Dr. Wong’s large mouthfuls made people wake up like a dream—it

turns out that psychological counseling is the core of this episode! !

The fast-paced play is just to stimulate boring and confusing psychological counseling. The real intention of the director team in this episode is to use Dr. Wong's mouth to conduct an official psychological analysis of the problems that arise among members of the rick family. First of all, what is going on with the "pickled cucumber incident"? What kind of problems does it reveal about the rick family?

In the beginning, Morty and Summer had abnormal behaviors at school, which caused the rick family to go for psychological counseling.

But Rick thought he didn't need psychological counseling, so he turned himself into a pickled cucumber to escape, and put a serum that could be turned back into a human in the needle.

But after being discovered, rick did not tell the truth. Yes, if he said, he would not be rick, the most intelligent mammal in the universe. How can rick, who knows everything, fear a little psychological consultation?

And what is the position of beth as a mother? Before entering the consultation room, summer complained, "How can this be considered a family counseling? Dad is not there, and grandpa is not there." My mother's response was:

"The family was told to get conselling by your principal, its not the entire family that was huffing pottery glaze in the art room and desk wetting in the history class. Consultation, it’s not

the old lady who is urinating pants and sucking enamel.” And when Dr. Wong repeatedly asked what was in the rick needle, his mother was also frantic: Can you focus on summer and morty? They need psychological counseling!

Yes, it can be seen from here that beth has perfectly inherited the arrogant character in rick's bones. Beth has just divorced, and his mentality is actually very fragile. The relationship between rick and his family is also messed up, and his daughter is also divorced for this. But as a strong woman and a god of the universe, how could they allow themselves to be affected by this" Small things" bother? So on the surface it will always be the same: whether labor and management don't care about indifferent dragging.

This is why Dr. Wong asked beth: Is your father's needle really filled with serum that turns himself back into humans? (Does your father really want to avoid this psychological consultation?) Beth will directly deny: Of course not! My father is at work! His job is very important (my father will not evade psychological counseling) because she takes it for granted that her father is so powerful, it is impossible to worry about this little family trivial matter.

It can be seen that both beth and rick are essentially evading problems. They are both troubled by the problems and conflicts that arise between family members, but their excessive self-esteem does not allow them to show weakness, so they both pretend to be ignorant. That's what it looks like. But in fact, I knew it very well in my heart: I cared very much, and I was indeed hurt.

Dr. Wong (the undercover in the director's team) obviously knew the problems between them, so she said this when beth questioned why she kept holding on to the pickled cucumber serum:

I think this pickle incident is a better path than any other to the heart of your family dysfunction. I think its possible that u and ur father have a very specific dynamic. I dont think its one that rewards emotion or vulnerability. I think it may punish them. I think its possible that this dynamic erodes your marriage and is infecting your kids with a tendency to misdirect their feelings

. You and your father probably have a special "psychological motivation" that suppresses the expression of fragile emotions. And it is very likely that this kind of psychological motivation led to your divorce and your children to vent their emotions through various incorrect channels.

In the words of the doctor, the most annoying thing about people like beth and rick is being exposed to their vulnerability. So she really couldn't help being outstretched:
f*** u! fk both of u too!! And

finally, Dr. Wong said to rick a long obscure paragraph, which actually meant this way:

Rick, the only connection between your unquestionable intelligence and the sickness destroying your family is that everyone in your family you included, use intelligence to justify sickness. You seem to alternate between viewing your own mind as an unstoppable force and as an inescapable curse. And I think it's because the only truly unapproachable concept for you is that it's your mind within your control. You chose to come here, you chose to talk to belittle my vocation, just as you chose to become a pickle. You are the master of your universe, and yet you are dripping with rat blood and feces. Your enormous mind literally vegetating by your own hand. I have no doubt that you would be bored senseless by therapy, the same way I'm bored when I brush my teeth and wipe my ass. Because the thing about repairing,maintaining and cleaning is, it's not an adventure. There's no way to do it so wrong you might die. It's just work. And the bottom line is, some people are okay going to work, and some people... Well, some people would rather die. Each of us gets to choose.
Rick, the only link between your unquestionable intelligence and the disease that destroys your family is that everyone in your family, including you, uses their intellect to justify this morbidity. You seem to think that your mind is an unstoppable force from time to time, and you think it is an unavoidable curse. I think that's because the only concept that is really difficult for you to understand is to control your own mind. You choose to come here, you also choose to use conversation to belittle my profession, just as you choose to be a pickle. You are the master of your own universe, but you are dripping with rat blood and excrement. Your powerful mind is as weak as a real plant. I don't doubt that you will unconsciously get bored with counseling, just as bored when I brush my teeth and wipe my ass. Because repairing, maintaining, and cleaning up these things are not risks. Even if you make a big mistake, you won’t die, it’s just work. And the result is that some people think it's good to go to work, while some people, some people would rather die. Each of us can choose.

To put it simply, it means: rick, you are indeed so smart that you think you are an almighty god. But in fact, you can't control your own heart. You can't really take it for granted if you don't want to be troubled by family problems. So your self-esteem will make you want to subconsciously escape. But in fact, solving these psychological problems is just some work that takes time and energy. It is normal for some people to like it and others to dislike it.


After all, the director team used one episode to show us the root of the contradictions in this family: not being able to face up to and reasonably vent their inner emotions. When emotions are not treated or expressed reasonably, problems often occur. First of all, it will have an impact on yourself: beth's irritability after divorce and rick's anxiety and avoidance, and it will also affect the people around him: summer and morty cannot share with their families the various injuries they suffered in the divorce incident. Abnormal venting behavior. This is actually a common mental state in the current society. The director team worked


hard and spent a whole episode reminding us: psychological counseling is very important! ! !
Psychological consultation is very important! ! !
Psychological consultation is very important! ! !
