Rick and Morty anime episode 1 recap
The episode began with alien bugs plotting to invade a planet inhabited by religious worm-like aliens. Just as they were about to conquer it, Summer Smith arrived in space and took control of the alien ship, thwarting their plans.
In retaliation, the alien bugs headed to the Smith family house and captured Rick Sanchez. However, while torturing him, Summer revealed that their hostage was actually a hologram and the real Rick was hiding somewhere in space.
Meanwhile, Morty is trapped in a virtual reality game created by Rick. As Morty navigated various scenarios, he met Elle, a warrior. Their encounter was brief, as Morty was reset and met Rick instead.
This Rick came from another dimension where his Morty had already died, and the game Morty was playing appeared to connect different dimensions.
The scenario reset again, and Morty met Frank, a coward turned hero. Through different scenarios, Elle and Frank eventually gave Morty a Nander Dragon’s Sweat as part of their journey.
As more simulations unfolded, Rick prepared to return home. Just as Morty was about to achieve his happy ending, Summer abruptly pulled the plug, bringing the simulation to an end.
