In a post-credits scene, the wooden Jerry decoy, who escaped death by abandoning his family, is washed downstream and attacked by beavers.
His body is then found by creatures in the distant future and, as his head is used for a mirror frame in a saloon, and later the plaque on a crucifix, he laments his inability to die.
[4] Co-creator Dan Harmon said that "decoy families" were conceived long before their usage in this episode, and are very similar to clones and alternate timeline versions of the characters.
[6] Jesse Schedeen of IGN rated the episode 8 out of 10, enjoying its "chaotic, fast-paced approach" to "[keep] the viewer off-guard", despite exploring ideas that are "very familiar" to the show.
[6] Den of Geek's Joe Matar rated it four out of five, finding it creative and ambitious despite expressing a preference for the more "sitcommy characterization"-based episodes.
[8] Steve Greene of IndieWire graded it an A, summarizing it as "an exquisite execution of a deceptively simple idea" and believing it to be "one of the show's best episodes in years".
Greene commented that the storyline is "surprisingly clear to follow" despite the chaos and speed and that even repetitive moments had "a constant escalation happening that gives this episode the perfect kind of forward momentum".
