Conspiracy
The episode opens with Rick dissecting a big rat within the garage and complaining about the sloppy workmanship. Morty stops by way of to comment on the lovely day before robot Beth receives in her vehicle and drives off to paintings. Rick is suspicious of the day’s events, as is Morty. Morty leaves for college and is called to the the front of “math class” through Mr. Goldenfold, who asks him to train the elegance, no matter Morty’s reputedly incorrect answer to a math question. A classmate asks Morty to proportion the recipe for concentrated darkish matter, and a reluctant Morty is sort of lured into doing so through Jessica earlier than Rick bursts in and drags Morty away.
Rick tells Morty to strip as they scramble to the locker room showers. Rick explains that they may be surely trapped in a simulation of actual life by a race of “intergalactic tricksters” known as the Zigerions. Rick tells Morty that they may be safe if they may be naked, due to the fact the sight of nudity is extremely uncomfortable for the alien race.
Meanwhile, Jerry has also been accidentally kidnapped into the simulation and frivolously continues the day’s activities with out noticing the numerous glitches as his simulation is jogging at very low ability. Jerry is going to paintings and suggests a advertising slogan for the apples (“Hungry for apples?”), which the board individuals approve. filled with unbridled self assurance, Jerry immediately leaves to make like to a simulated Beth.
Rick and Morty plan an impromptu rap live performance, and Rick orders the group to perform a huge variety of movements to saturate the RAM and freeze the CPU, i.e. the simulation. The pair manipulate to break out the simulation, sneak into the deliver, thieve a few Crystal middle processing units, and proceed to the escape pod. As they fly lower back to Earth and return to the storage, Rick’s enters the passcode to a hidden safe that refuses to open. The storage then melts, proving that they may be nevertheless trapped in the simulation.
Prince Nebulon seems and name callings Rick for questioning he escaped, revealing that the Zigerions constantly had a recipe for concentrated dark remember, however Rick pulls down Morty’s pants to reason a distraction, leading to a deliver-extensive chase. returned within the simulation, Jerry returns to work to confess that his slogan is a hoax ‘Do you have milk?’, however his boss is caught in an limitless loop of finger snapping and says, “sure!”. within a minute, Jerry is fired, rehired, promoted, and then nominated for an “Appley Award” (a fictitious award that Jerry made up just seconds in advance). Jerry wins the prize and offers a heartfelt speech approximately how that day changed into the excellent day of his lifestyles before the simulation crashes.
Rick and Morty meet up with Jerry once more as they are attempting to discover a real escape pod to use. They climb into one, but are right now chased via Zigerion ships, and Rick comes to a decision to cobble collectively a few focused dark matter to get away. Morty asks for the recipe and Rick orders Morty to combine 2 components cesium, 1 element plutonic quartz and bottled water to create a focused darkish count number. but then Morty freezes as he and the ship disappear, proving that it changed into simply Rick and Jerry within the simulation the whole time. Prince Nebulon reappears positive and allows them to depart.
Celebrating their victory, the Zigerions mix said components to create dark rely, but their ship without delay explodes, proving that Rick knew he become in a simulation as a minimum on the grounds that he become tricked into coming into the safe combination. Rick sings the sax element in Gerry Rafferty’s Baker avenue as their trip flies away.
In the post-name sequence, Jerry gives a ‘Hungry for Apples?’ pitch at an real board assembly and is fired immediately. A drunken Rick tactics the actual Morty in bed, pulls a knife on him and yells at him, time and again calling him “scumbag” to show he is now not a simulation earlier than passing out in his sleep.

Episode Notes
The tune performed at some stage in the episode and during the credits is an instrumental model of “Baker street” by means of Gerry Rafferty.
For unknown reasons, summer time does not appear in this episode.
Beth additionally doesn’t technically seem in the episode, best acting as a simulation.
That is additionally the best episode in which Morty does not appear in any respect as it’s only a simulation. (besides briefly inside the credit scene).
There are numerous tips at some stage in the episode that Morty has been simulated and that Rick has been aware of it all along.
Rick became looking Morty suspiciously on the end of the primary scene when Morty crashed into the garage wall.
Rick acts out of character and fools around with Morty as they accumulate crystals, probably to see if he will observe.
Whilst the second one simulation is over, the crystals that have been accrued will not disappear.
The Zigerions check with Jerry as the following man or woman in the simulation, rather than the third.
Prince Nebulon says that the goal is Rick Sanchez, not bringing up Morty on the time.
After Jerry’s simulation ends, he’s still carrying the simulated tuxedo.
Whilst Rick pulls down Morty’s pants to allow them to break out the Zigerions, Morty immediately pulls up his pants for the Zigerions to comply with, indicating that he’s being simulated.
