Very strong episode that did a great job at setting up a great Avengers-level-threat for the sixth season, pitching Actually Rickest Rick as the looming villain who's coming for the main characters, while also balancing humor and some emotional gravitas. The heavy-handed exposition seems a bit gratuitous and probably won't age well since most people will binge the series, but it does help us recall what's happened in previous seasons to setup where we're at now since it's been awhile since we've gotten some episodes.
All in all this episode is a return to form and sets the bar pretty high for the rest of the season, although I am not quite sure if the rest of the series can live up to these lofty standards.
