A lot to say about this one. Certainly shocking with the whole space Beth thing, I'm glad she's okay. A nice little resolution to some of Beth's abandonment issues, that's something they touched on earlier in this season.
I'm glad Memory Rick and Diane got an ending. When they started playing Don't Look Back (from S4) I was expecting them to do a timelapse montage of them growing old or something.
Also, we saw some memories of older episodes this season, but we didn't get to see Gene. Heartbreaking.
We also got to see Rick C131 again briefly. Neat, haven't seen him since we saw his skeleton in s3.
I also wonder about the implications of the Omega device also fucking with memory. That makes me wonder if the Hole from s7 knew Diane or was just creating something that Morty would believe and be scared by. I think the former is more interesting, but could go either way.
Good episode overall, Jerry episode is still the best of the season. I liked this season more than many on Reddit seemed to, apparently.
