Yes. But also, my favorite part of the episode was when Morty and Summer are in the backseat to their mom and grandfather, and they're realizing together, as brother and sister, how sick their guardians are. I think they realize how much they need to grow on their own and how little guidance Rick and Beth can actually provide. I relate to that moment a lot, since I tend to look towards traditional mentors for guidance, but in my experience the people whose lives have gone just swimmingly do not have answers for important or interesting questions. It's the people whose lives have been difficult and weird who have useful and interesting advice.

Also I love this episode because I didn't know about "I statements" before then but I find them to be a really useful tool for expressing my feelings so thank u dan and company for teaching that to me.
