[1] It is the final season to feature Roiland providing any voice as he was fired from the series on January 24, 2023, due to domestic violence allegations.

Saved from the Citadel ruins by Space Beth, Rick attempts to reset the settings on his portal gun, but accidentally sends everyone who has traveled interdimensionally to their original dimensions.

Die Hard-inspired alien terrorists attack the Blips and Chitz arcade and cause a temporary power outage.

Chans explains that all sapient species develop the Die Hard mythology and that he is an expert who has written several books about it.

Summer reads one of Chans' books, then defeats him with a gun taped to her back just as Rick and Morty escape Roy.

Rick pays a Blips and Chitz staffer to take the still-running Roy machine into storage, with Marta left behind inside.

When Space Beth admits to the affair to Jerry, he rolls up into a pillbug (an emotional defense system Rick built for him while they were drunk together).

Rick obtains an alien device called a "somnambulator" that allows him to voluntarily sleepwalk, creating a "Night Person" who does tasks that he does not want to do in the daytime.

Because people are immortal until their fortunes are fulfilled, Rick finds a way to make Padrow-Chunt the world's most successful businesswoman (her fate), thus rendering her vulnerable, and she and the caretaker are subsequently eaten by the Lockerean.

Many people, however, are dissatisfied with the lack of responsibility, including the President, who promises to let Rick host the Academy Awards if he can get rid of the dinosaurs.

Rick and Morty visit other planets that the dinosaurs have tended, finding that they all suffered asteroid impacts similar to the one that caused the Chicxulub crater.

Rick returns home and repairs his portal gun, excitedly telling Morty their interdimensional adventures can resume.

Story Lord steals Rick's device which allows him to travel to the real world and seek out his creator, Jan.

Meanwhile, Rick and Morty, seeking a way back to the real world, infiltrate the fortress of the "Self-Referential Six", a group of "meta nerds" who all have reality-warping powers based on narrative techniques and devices (such as plot twists and continuity errors), but are attacked by the group and forced to flee back into the meta.

They are rescued by Joseph Campbell, who assists them in creating a device to return to the real world to confront Story Lord.

Morty, with the assistance of a spectral Campbell, convinces Jan to stop operating the machine, depowering Story Lord and allowing Rick to defeat him.

Horrified, Morty promptly tells the rest of the family, who berate Rick for his actions and shame Jerry for Pissmaster's death.

Ignoring Rick's warnings and calling him "boring", Morty goes to the Sun and is told that he must sever his penis to join the Knights.

Morty finds the Knights of the Sun using heroin and inspires them to resume their duties by promising he will cut off his penis, Rick having built him a fake.

[15] Along with the season's announcement, regulars Justin Roiland, Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, and Sarah Chalke were confirmed to return as the Smith family.

The site's critic consensus reads, "Bookended by some memorable serialized developments, Rick and Morty's sixth season has a lot of fun in between as it explores whether the universe's most toxic genius can actually grow as a person.
