After a family of decoys clashes and kills another, they figure out that the squids are actually further decoys trying to kill all other versions of themselves. Another family, who still thinks they are real, are kidnapped by deformed decoys trying to harvest their skin but are rescued by wooden decoys, who attempt to rally a group of decoys but are crushed to death when squid-decoys kill them. One family alerts all decoys to their location and all of the decoys are killed in the ensuing mayhem.

They try to appease it by setting it up on a date with a group of shape-shifting robots called Changeformers, but after the Space Cruiser is exposed as not a legitimate Changeformer, a brawl ensues in which the Space Cruiser kills the Changeformers.

However, Nick shows himself to be a violent psychopath who spilled Rick's portal fluid after he had tried to steal the portal gun from Rick, and he pursues Morty, intending to make him his accomplice on a crime spree. After a violent chase and struggle, Morty has a train slice off his hand and puts it in Nick's portal, causing Nick to implode. Meanwhile, Rick teams up with two crows to show Morty how disposable he is, but after an adventure wherein they save him from anthropomorphic crows attempting to savage Earth, he realizes they are more than just disposable alternatives to Morty. After repairing Morty's hand, Rick leaves him behind to travel with the two crows, leaving Morty devastated. *Post-credits scene*: An alien called \"Garbage Goober\" that Rick uses to clean up his trash is revealed to actually be a doctor, who is scolded by his wife but decides to continue eating the Smith family's garbage anyways. |   |   |   |   |   |   |\n| 51 | 10 | \"Rickmurai Jack\" | Jacob Hair | Jeff Loveness & Scott Marder | September 5, 2021 (2021-09-05) | 0\\.94[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-5.09-5.10-18) |\n| Rick abandons his life of adventure with the crows when he discovers he is their [rebound](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rebound_\\(dating\\) \"Rebound (dating)\").

Boilerpipe Text	From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rick and Morty Season 5 Blu-ray cover Showrunner Scott Marder Starring Justin Roiland Chris Parnell Spencer Grammer Sarah Chalke No. of episodes 10 Release Original network Adult Swim Original release June 20 – September 5, 2021 Season chronology ← Previous Season 4 Next → Season 6 List of episodes The fifth season of the animated television series Rick and Morty consisted of 10 episodes, part of the 70 episodes ordered by Adult Swim after they renewed the series in 2018. [ 1 ] The series stars Justin Roiland as both titular characters , alongside Chris Parnell as Jerry Smith , Spencer Grammer as Summer Smith , and Sarah Chalke as Beth Smith and Space Beth . The season premiered on June 20, 2021, and concluded on September 5, 2021. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Cast and characters [ edit ] Justin Roiland as Rick Sanchez C-137 and Morty Smith Prime , the show's two lead characters. Rick is often shown as drunk and Morty is shown as nervous and unsure of himself, often in doubt of Rick's many extravagant adventures. [ 4 ] Chris Parnell as Jerry Smith , Morty and Summer's father and Rick's son-in-law . [ 4 ] Spencer Grammer as Summer Smith , Morty's older sister and Rick's granddaughter. [ 4 ] Sarah Chalke as Beth Smith , Morty and Summer's mother, Jerry's wife, and Rick's daughter. [ 4 ] Kari Wahlgren as: Jessica , Morty's long-time crush whom he seldom has the courage to ask out.

Tom Kenny as Squanchy and additional voices. David Herman , Harland Williams , Grey DeLisle , Lauren Lapkus , Natasha Leggero , Jake Johnson , Chelsea Peretti and Nat Faxon as additional voices. Dan Harmon and Scott Marder said that season 5 would have a stronger sense of continuity than previous seasons. At a 2020 virtual Adult Swim festival, writer Scott Marder announced that "there's epic canon in season five coming" and that season four 's Space Beth was set to be a main character in a future season ( season 6 ). [ 18 ] As of late October 2020, episodes were "pretty far along on [their] route to Adult Swim." [ 19 ] A promotional animatic of Morty carrying a seemingly dead Rick across an alien planet was released in November 2020. [ 6 ] Other animatics, including one that appears to be from the same episode as Rick is in the same condition he is in the first picture, have been released as well. [ 19 ] A final animatic shows Morty confessing his feelings for Jessica as their spaceship crashes into the ocean. Once it does, Rick's long-time nemesis Mr. Nimbus greets them. [ citation needed ] In October 2020, show creator Dan Harmon revealed that one of the episodes written by Rob Schrab in the upcoming season, now known as "A Rickconvenient Mort", would be about Morty 's relationship with a woman who is not Jessica, and said that Morty "really feels heartache on a level a man his age shouldn't... my Emmy is going to that one." Schrab's writing for the episode was "very tender." Harmon also noted that production was happening ahead of schedule. [ 20 ] Jeff Loveness , who wrote multiple episodes in season four , has been confirmed to be returning to write his last episodes for the series, including the season premiere. [ 21 ] The season also delved deeper into Rick and Jerry's relationship. [ 22 ] Regulars Justin Roiland , Chris Parnell , Spencer Grammer , and Sarah Chalke were confirmed to return as the Smith family, [ 4 ] with other characters including new addition to the cast, Mr. Nimbus. [ 6 ] In January 2021, it was revealed that series creator Dan Harmon and Kari Wahlgren , a recurring voice in the series, would return to reprise their roles of Birdperson, Rick's old friend turned enemy after being reprogrammed by Tammy Gueterman, and Jessica, Morty's crush throughout the show, respectively. [ 5 ] Space Beth, a character who last appeared in the finale of the previous season , voiced by Chalke, also returned. [ 18 ] Guest stars during the season will include Timothy Olyphant , Christina Ricci , and Alison Brie . [ 23 ] The season premiered on June 20, 2021. [ 24 ] Justin Roiland , who voices the two main characters, said that he would like to air one episode a month, so as to lengthen the time that the show is on the air. [ 25 ] He reiterated this in March 2021. Roiland also claimed that the wait between all the rest of the seasons would "never be [as] long again" as they were between many of the previous seasons. [ 26 ] On July 13, 2021, the seventh episode, "Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion", was leaked online in Canada through Amazon Prime Video , ahead of its official release date of August 1. [ 14 ] It was removed shortly thereafter. On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , season five has a 86% score based on 100 reviews. The site's critics consensus reads: "Rick and Morty starts showing signs of fatigue with an uneven batch of adventures that are often more crude than clever, but a major shakeup to the status quo helps this season finish strong." [ 27 ] On Metacritic , the season has a score of 89 out of 100, based on 5 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". [ 28 ] Brandon Katz of Observer said "Rick and Morty persists not only for its inversion of sci-fi tropes, clever pop culture riffing and raw hilarity. It continues to hold our interest in a way few shows do because it knows we are all capable of great and terrible things." [ 29 ] David Opie of Digital Spy praised the series premiere, saying "It's just as inventive as ever, and by not resetting the status quo, there's more room for character development." [ 30 ] ^ This episode was accidentally released on Amazon Prime Video in Canada on July 13, 2021, before being removed. [ 14 ] ^ As depicted in " Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind ". ^ First shown in " The Rickshank Rickdemption ", where Rick displays these memories while being interrogated but claims that they are fabricated. ^ Hibberd, James (July 24, 2020).

After a family of decoys clashes and kills another, they figure out that the squids are actually further decoys trying to kill all other versions of themselves. Another family, who still thinks they are real, are kidnapped by deformed decoys trying to harvest their skin but are rescued by wooden decoys, who attempt to rally a group of decoys but are crushed to death when squid-decoys kill them.

Rick discovers that Birdperson and Tammy have a daughter, who was inhibited from Birdperson's memories by the Federation.

Schrab's writing for the episode was "very tender." Harmon also noted that production was happening ahead of schedule.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-:5-23) [Jeff Loveness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Loveness "Jeff Loveness"), who wrote multiple episodes in [season four](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_4 "Rick and Morty season 4"), has been confirmed to be returning to write his last episodes for the series, including the season premiere.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-Loveness-24) The season also delved deeper into Rick and Jerry's relationship.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-25) Regulars [Justin Roiland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Roiland "Justin Roiland"), [Chris Parnell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Parnell "Chris Parnell"), [Spencer Grammer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Grammer "Spencer Grammer"), and [Sarah Chalke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Chalke "Sarah Chalke") were confirmed to return as the Smith family,[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-:6-4) with other characters including new addition to the cast, Mr. Nimbus.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-:1-6) In January 2021, it was revealed that series creator [Dan Harmon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Harmon "Dan Harmon") and [Kari Wahlgren](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kari_Wahlgren "Kari Wahlgren"), a recurring voice in the series, would return to reprise their roles of Birdperson, Rick's old friend turned enemy after being reprogrammed by Tammy Gueterman, and Jessica, Morty's crush throughout the show, respectively.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-:4-5) Space Beth, a character who last appeared in the [finale of the previous season](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Mort_Rickturn_of_the_Jerri "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri"), voiced by Chalke, also returned.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-Anderton-21) Guest stars during the season will include [Timothy Olyphant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Olyphant "Timothy Olyphant"), [Christina Ricci](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Ricci "Christina Ricci"), and [Alison Brie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Brie "Alison Brie").[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-26) The season premiered on June 20, 2021.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-S5Premiere-27) [Justin Roiland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Roiland "Justin Roiland"), who voices the two main characters, said that he would like to air one episode a month, so as to lengthen the time that the show is on the air.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-:2-28) He reiterated this in March 2021.

On the review aggregator [Rotten Tomatoes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotten_Tomatoes "Rotten Tomatoes"), season five has a 86% score based on 100 reviews. The site's critics consensus reads: "Rick and Morty starts showing signs of fatigue with an uneven batch of adventures that are often more crude than clever, but a major shakeup to the status quo helps this season finish strong."[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-30) On [Metacritic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacritic "Metacritic"), the season has a score of 89 out of 100, based on 5 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-31) Brandon Katz of Observer said "Rick and Morty persists not only for its inversion of sci-fi tropes, clever pop culture riffing and raw hilarity. It continues to hold our interest in a way few shows do because it knows we are all capable of great and terrible things."[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-32) David Opie of Digital Spy praised the series premiere, saying "It's just as inventive as ever, and by not resetting the status quo, there's more room for character development."[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_and_Morty_season_5#cite_note-33) 1.
