While the episode was imo the best in a while, the ending completely lost me.
No person on earth would stay partners with Jerry after this. Not a single one. Beth what are you doing?!?!?
You'd constantly be questioning 'what if there's just 1% of Rick's brain/consciousness in there... we know consciousness can be subdued...' or 'Jerry now intrinsically has some of the memories of Rick's in him. even with the brains separated, part of Jerry is now her father.'
Who could sleep with him after that? Or even be touched by him? Or even look them in the eye?
I appreciated it when Beth initially found out and was like 'nah fuck this' but when they just kept doubling down with being one being, that should have been an instant divorce.
And that's ontop of this show's wierd obsession with, well, incest in previous seasons. them just walking out and shoving the topic under the rug to live in their own little realities has worked mostly til now, that this should fundamentally have been a breaking point for Beth to leave. This should have been the episode to kick Jerry and Rick out for good.
I feel like Beth can pretty easily trust that Rick’s machines are accurate enough to get their full consciousness. she would not need to be worried about that i don’t think
