Outrageously Plausible: Unearthing the Epic Season 7 Predictions for Rick & Morty!

Summary

Rick Prime may be hunting for versions of himself that still have their families, seeking to reunite with his lost loved ones.

It is possible that Morty's consciousness, trapped in a video game, has transformed into Evil Morty, motivated by a desire for vengeance against his neglectful grandfather. This raises the question of whether Doofus Rick could be Evil Morty's grandfather, potentially fueling a scheme to overthrow the Ricks who hold power within the Citadel.

As the release of Rick and Morty season 7 approaches, numerous fan theories are emerging to speculate about the future of the show's main characters after the events of season 6. Rick and Morty is renowned for its tendency to break the fourth wall, and in the conclusion of season 6, Rick specifically informed viewers that the upcoming season would mainly revolve around his search for Rick Prime. Additionally, an unconventional relationship between Beth and her clone unfolded, and the newly divorced Mr. Poopybutthole made a surprising comeback.

Although Rick and Morty has already been confirmed for renewal until season 10, there are still many unresolved mysteries surrounding the show. With its mind-bending plot twists and intricate storylines, Rick and Morty employs both futuristic technology and time travel to present a wide array of adventures. From deciphering Rick Prime's true objective to the potential return of Evil Morty, here are ten intriguing theories for Rick and Morty season 7.

10 Rick Prime Is Hunting Happy Ricks

After the devastating loss of his wife and child, caused by a tragic experiment gone awry, Rick Prime fled across the dimensions, pursued relentlessly by Rick C-137 who sought revenge. It is believed that in Rick Prime's own universe, he was solely responsible for the demise of his family, unlike the alternate reality where another Rick was to blame. Throughout the show, the character of Diane Sanchez has often expressed her worries about Rick's dedication to his scientific pursuits. This suggests that Rick Prime's accidental actions left him profoundly shattered and filled with deep sorrow.

If Rick Prime was indeed the first Rick to ever experience the loss of Diane and Beth, and consequently the pioneer of interdimensional travel, it stands to reason that he would embark on a quest to find an alternative reality where his family thrived. It is plausible that Rick Prime stumbled upon the Central Finite Curve long before the Citadel existed, discovering the existence of countless other Ricks content with their intact families. What may have initially been a journey filled with hope could have transformed into a rampage for Rick Prime, convinced that any Rick who prioritized their scientific pursuits over their loved ones did not deserve to cherish their family.

9 The Part Of Morty Left In The Roy Game Becomes Evil Morty

In the episode "Rick: A Mort Well Lived" from season 6 of Rick and Morty, Morty finds himself trapped in a virtual reality video game where a fraction of his being is split among various non-player characters (NPCs). Despite Rick's persistent efforts, only a majority of the Morty NPCs agree to leave the game, leaving a small percentage behind. In order to preserve a fragment of Morty's consciousness within the game, Rick decides to keep the machine running by making the necessary payments. Additionally, Evil Morty, who was initially introduced in the episode "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind," is discovered and rescued by the Citadel following the demise of his own Rick.

If a small portion of Morty managed to elude the Roy game, there is a possibility that his entire physical manifestation was unsuccessful – which would offer an explanation for Evil Morty's eye patch. It is uncertain about the duration of Morty's presence within the Roy game, but if decades passed without any supervision from Rick, it is likely that Morty's resentment towards his already abhorrent behavior would intensify. It is not uncommon for a Morty to lose faith in their Rick, and it would be logical for Morty to devise a plan to seize control over the Citadel of Ricks.

8 Rick's First Sidekick Kyle Was Beth's Brother

In episode 1 of season 5, titled "Mort Dinner Rick Andre," Rick and Morty make a mention of Kyle, who was Rick's enigmatic first assistant. The true identity of Kyle and the duration of his partnership with Rick remain unknown, but he is acknowledged by Mr. Nimbus, Rick's archenemy. Following the loss of his wife Diane and daughter Beth, Rick C-137 departs from his own reality, leading to speculation that he may not have left empty-handed. While Beth was still a young child at the time of her demise, it is conceivable that Rick and Diane had an infant who could have survived the catastrophic event by sleeping peacefully in their crib.

If this theory holds true, it raises the lingering question of what befell Kyle and why he remains absent as a character within the show. In the event that Rick traversed to an alternate dimension without temporal movement, he would arrive several decades before the existence of Summer and Morty. Keenly aware that this universe's Rick had forsaken his family, Rick assumes sole responsibility for raising Kyle, surreptitiously observing Beth and Diane from a distance while eagerly anticipating the return of Rick Prime. Years later, Rick "reunites" with his family, yet Kyle displays disinterest, perceiving Rick's portrayal of Beth as overly idealistic. Recognizing Kyle's nonexistence in this universe, Rick opts not to divulge his existence to Beth and instead allows his son to embark on his own journey across dimensions.

7 Dr Wong Was Sent By The President To Keep Tabs On Rick

Doctor Wong made his first appearance in the episode "Pickle Rick" of season 3. She was recommended as a family therapist by the school attended by Summer and Morty. Some fans have speculated that Dr. Wong was actually sent by the President of the United States to watch over Rick Sanchez, due to his behavior in the episode "Get Schwifty" from season 2. Throughout the series, Rick and Morty have repeatedly encountered this politician, and Rick has a strained relationship with the President.

Rick continues his sessions with Dr. Wong following the events of "Pickle Rick". In season 4, he reappears, and his presence is hinted at in the trailer for season 7 of Rick and Morty. Because of the ongoing problems caused by Rick's antics, Dr. Wong provides regular updates on the scientist's mental state to the President. It is likely that the President does this in order to anticipate Rick's actions, especially considering the turkey pardoning incidents in the fifth episode of season 5, titled "Rick & Morty's Thanksploitation Spectacular".

6 Rick Killed Diane Sanchez C-137 To Trap Rick Prime

As Rick ventures through various dimensions in quest of Rick Prime, he eventually stumbles upon Prime's original universe and decides to establish himself there, patiently awaiting Prime's return. It is believed that Rick endured several decades before Prime resurfaced, observing Diane nurture Beth from a distance. Witnessing Beth's maturation made Rick keenly aware of the experiences he had missed, thus inspiring him to conceive a heart-wrenching trap for Rick Prime.

Early seasons of Rick and Morty alluded to Diane's death occurring later in her life. However, it is evident that Rick was absent for a significant portion of Beth's upbringing, indicating that Diane must have passed away after Beth had reached adulthood. In a twisted desire to make Rick Prime experience the same heartache, Rick might have deliberately taken the life of Rick Prime's Diane and then sought solace by reuniting with Beth after her mother's demise. By doing so, Rick anticipated that Rick Prime would eventually hear of his wife's passing and discover Rick forming a close bond with his own family.

5 Tall Morty Is A Morty Activist Undercover

Tall Morty, also known as Slow Rick, was first introduced in the season 3 episode "The Ricklantis Mixup" as a student at the Morty Academy on the Citadel of Ricks. Unlike the other Ricks, Tall Morty lacks their level of intelligence and seems to be in the Morty Academy indefinitely. Mortys, in general, are treated poorly and subjected to mistreatment, as they are not held to the same standards as Ricks.

The Citadel of Ricks exhibits such a flagrant lack of respect towards Mortys that they have gone to the extent of utilizing numerous copies of their own grandsons to form a protective barrier around the Citadel. These Mortys are connected together to form an electric fence, serving as a means to safeguard the premises. One prevalent conjecture suggests that Tall Morty is an advocate for Morty rights, masking his true intelligence as part of his undercover operations. His objective is to sway Mortys who pass through the academy to revolt against their respective Ricks. It is entirely plausible that his endeavors have indeed borne fruit, considering the fact that the Citadel elected a Morty President in the very same episode.

4 Beth And Space Beth Are Both Clones

In "The ABCs of Beth", Rick creates a clone of Beth, muddles them, and dispatches one to embark on a cosmic exploration. The Beth left behind remains oblivious to Rick's manipulation until the two Beths serendipitously cross paths. Although Rick pretends to be uncertain about the authentic Beth, both versions ultimately reach the consensus that it is inconsequential. Consequently, the two Beths forge a profound connection, with Space Beth becoming a recurring character in subsequent seasons of Rick and Morty. Despite Rick's mistreatment of his family, it is evident that he harbors a deep fear of losing Beth.

3 The Talking Cat Is A Rick Messing With Jerry

: There is a possibility that both Beths are clones, and this could be confirmed in the upcoming season 7 of Rick and Morty. The original Beth might be securely kept within Rick's lab. While it is more likely that there is only one clone, it's possible that Beth has been a clone for a long time, even before the creation of Space Beth. After witnessing the tragic death of his young child right in front of his eyes, when Rick arrived in Rick Prime's universe, he might have decided to immediately substitute Beth with a clone. If Rick had concerns about being targeted again or was overwhelmed with parental anxiety in general, having the knowledge that the real Beth was safe, alive, and sleeping in his lab would bring him a little more peace in his life.

In the episode "Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty" of the fourth season of Rick and Morty, Jerry has an unexpected encounter with a cat that can talk in his own bedroom. Being true to his nature, Jerry falls victim to the cat's manipulation and ends up fulfilling its request to accompany it to Florida. Eventually, Rick locates them and reveals to both Jerry and himself that the talking cat was involved in a distressing mass assault on a group of individuals, leaving the two men traumatized. In a state of horror, Rick banishes the cat and erases Jerry's memory of the entire ordeal.

Although the identity of the talking cat remains unknown, it has been speculated that he could be a alternate version of Rick from a feline universe who chose to play tricks on his son-in-law. The original Rick may be oblivious to the fact that the cat is actually another version of himself, yet it is entirely within Rick's nature to exploit the opportunity to tease Jerry, regardless of the universe. In the last scene, the cat was seen engaging in a conversation with Morty's pet dragon, adding yet another subplot to this episode as they contemplated embarking on a trip to Florida.

2 Doofus Rick And Evil Morty Are From The Same Universe

The appearance of Doofus Rick took place in the episode "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind", where he stood out as the only Rick who showed friendliness towards Jerry. Among the Ricks, he holds the title of being the least respected, enduring constant mockery for originating from a universe rumored to consume its own waste. Unlike other Ricks, Doofus Rick never had a marriage with Diane or had a daughter named Beth. Consequently, when he joined the Citadel of Ricks, he was assigned a Morty from an alternate universe.

1 Rick And Morty Is A Show On Interdimensional Cable

It is believed by many that this particular Rick is the grandfather of Evil Morty, although Doofus Rick, being unaware of his fatherhood, left Earth for the Citadel. Evil Morty, having grown up hearing Diane speak of never seeing Rick again after Beth's conception, decided to find his grandfather. After learning about the Citadel and its multiple Ricks, Evil Morty constructed a robotic version of Rick, "killed" him, and patiently awaited the Citadel's arrival. When Evil Morty eventually discovers that Doofus Rick is indeed his grandfather, he becomes appalled by the mistreatment he receives from the other Ricks. Therefore, he resolves that the Ricks' control over the Citadel must be abolished.

Rick and Morty dedicated two episodes to exploring interdimensional cable, an ingenious creation by Rick that allows access to an infinite number of channels across the vast expanse of the universe. These captivating episodes unveiled a plethora of eccentric characters and mind-bending concepts, ranging from Jerry's unexpected rise to stardom to a mysterious individual peddling a massive stockpile of counterfeit doors. In a show already brimming with self-awareness, interdimensional cable pushes the boundaries even further by shattering the fourth wall of Rick and Morty's narrative universe.

The writers of the show have been said to fully embrace its meta nature. According to the suggestion, the upcoming season 7 of Rick and Morty will unveil that the show itself is actually an interdimensional cable program, created by Rick. It is proposed that interdimensional travel may not have actually been invented, but rather exists solely as a concept in Rick's imagination that he was unable to crack. Consequently, the tragic deaths of Diane and Beth were not caused by external factors, but rather a simple accident that occurred within Rick's laboratory. Overwhelmed by grief, Rick becomes unable to find a way to bring them back, leading to the creation of Rick and Morty. In a state of profound sadness and isolation, Rick immerses himself in the show.
