The rules Rick lays down on Summer (Spencer Grammar) ahead of their three-planet crawl of orgiastic pre-apocalyptic parties in “A Rickconvenient Mort” are: “No whining, no crying, and absolutely, positively no getting attached.” As episode three, “A Rickconvenient Mort,” demonstrates, Rick can’t be counted on to follow his own rules—so Summer has to pull a Rick move and “avert an apocalypse in a tantrum of cynicism just to destroy one dumb relationship,” something he begrudgingly gives her props for in the end.
