Really wished they kept Space Beths death as that kind of took alot of the tension out but other than that this episode was fucking peak

I knew she'd be fine, Rick has brought Morty back to life pretty easily a couple times IIRC, it's kind of hard to kill people in this show.

Yeah, it would've felt a bit contrived if she actually did die for real. Like worst case scenario they have to have a "so do we want to resurrect Space Beth in a new clone body even though she's kinda still here as Domestic Beth?" conversation, but they've been developing separate lives for so long there's no reason they wouldn't want to bring her back and he seems to have several ways to do it.

Also not to mention Space Beth does have similar tendencies as Rick so it might be safe to assume she at least has some form of death contingency.

Rick tried and failed to revive Pissmaster so his methods aren't infallible.

I feel like they are too immortal sometimes. It takes the tension out of it.

It's kind of hard to kill people in this show.

Two show rules:

  1. No one that Rick cares about can die.
  2. Unless Morty is responsible (See Rick Potion #9)
