They climb outside the train in spacesuits, with Morty’s suit carrying a ticking clock that will kill them if it reaches zero, and reach the Thematic Seal on the engine car. Meaning the stories will just keep going and going unless Rick and Morty can make it to the train’s engine and stop it. They reach a map of the train revealing that the train is essentially an ouroboros, on a neverending circular path.
(Because continuity has been broken, get it?) Rick figures out that they’re trapped in an anthology and detonates a Continuity barrel, allowing them to jump anywhere on the ship. The episode takes place entirely on a space train that is literally a narrative device – it’s fueled by a bunch of passengers telling unrelated stories about Rick, each one an extremely overused trope about doing battle in an evil fortress or saving Christmas or introducing him to your parents over an embarrassing dinner. And as the title suggests, we’re in for some supremely meta shenanigans. Nearly six months later, the duo is finally back for the second half of Season 4, which kicks off with Episode 6, “Never Ricking Morty”. We last saw the titular drunk nihilistic scientist and his hapless grandson dealing with a bunch of Nazi snakes in an alternate timeline (it was a whole-assed thing). Rick and Morty is known for taking long breaks in between seasons, but Season 4 marks the first time the show has gone on hiatus in the middle of an episode run.
