Now motivated to keep his date with Jessica, Morty frantically steers the spaceship into a palm tree and splashes down safely in the ocean.
In preparation, Rick has Morty throw bottles of wine into a portal where time moves faster so as to age it, because Nimbus has demanding tastes.
The portal leads to a farm where a bovine man named Hoovy helps carry a crate back to the Smith house.
Upon returning through the portal, he finds his wife long dead, before his furious young adult son mortally wounds him.
They trick and trap him, but Morty escapes with Jessica, with the help of Rick and Nimbus - who forgives his enemy, noting that they are nothing without the other.
[4] The episode features Jim Gaffigan as Hoovy, Dan Harmon as Mr. Nimbus, and Kari Wahlgren as Jessica.
Kevin Perry of The Independent believed that the title is a misdirect as it leads the audience to expect the episode to focus more on conversation between Rick and Mr. Nimbus, rather than Morty's wine expedition.
[9] Morty is irritated at having to follow Rick's instructions, demonstrating his changing character from the more meek portrayal in season one.
[8] David Opie of Digital Spy praised the series premiere, saying, "It's just as inventive as ever, and by not resetting the status quo, there's more room for character development.
