Beth, Jerrick, Morty and Summer in Rick and Morty season 7
At the bottom of the list is episode 8, 'Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie.' This episode, which excluded Rick and instead focused on Mr. Goldenfold, fell short of the mark, feeling more like a bit rather than a full episode. It was a disappointing follow-up to the cliffhanger ending of the season 2 episode 'Get Schwifty.'

Following closely is episode 1, 'How Poopy Got His Poop Back,' which kicked off the season with a fun yet weaker episode centered on Mr. Poopybutthole's addiction and a massive bender with Rick and the gang. While entertaining, it was an unexpected start to the season, deviating from the show's usual style.

Episode 7, 'Wet Kuat Amortican Summer,' brought a rare Summer-centric focus but relied heavily on a Total Recall reference, making it less accessible to all viewers. Similarly, episode 2, 'The Jerrick Trap,' explored a body swap concept but fell short of its potential, leaving fans wanting more.
Rick and Morty Valhalla-1
Moving up the list, episode 6, 'Rickfending Your Mort,' offered a staple anthology format with previously unseen adventures but lacked the depth and impact of the stronger episodes in the season. Meanwhile, episode 3, 'Air Force Wong,' brought back classic villains and high stakes, delivering a solid and hilariously entertaining storyline.

The runner-up, episode 4, 'That's Amorte,' stood out as one of the season's oddest and most thought-provoking episodes, with its social commentary and fantastic humor centered around a bizarre premise. Finally, at the top of the list is the season finale, episode 10, 'Fear No Mort,' which delved into philosophical territory while developing the characters and delivering an interesting sci-fi story.
