10 More Rick & Morty Fan Theories That Change Everything

10. Rick Intended To Kill Morty

At the end of season three, Beth had started to suspect that she was a clone after having a conversation with her dad about such a thing during the previous episode. After a visit to Jerry, she believed herself to be the new version of Beth, and decided that she was in love with her husband again.

She, Jerry, Morty, and Summer all came together and hid from Rick, as since she had become self-aware, she thought there was a target on her back. Morty stole Rick’s portal gun and hid with the family, but it wasn’t long before he turned up on their doorstep, gun in hand.

Beth was certain he was there to kill her, while he said that he was actually there to kill Jerry who had managed to get back into Beth’s life, but what if this was just to hide his real target? What if Rick went to that cabin with every intention of killing Morty?

We’ve seen over the years what an Evil Morty can do, and arguably the first step towards another Evil Morty would be a Rickless Morty with a portal gun. However, when Rick arrived and saw that there was nothing evil about what he was doing, and that Beth and Summer weren’t under threat by being near him, he decided against murdering him.
