It's all too easy to imagine the end result being a retread of ground covered in "Auto Erotic Assimilation." But that said, were this just a straightforward Rick/Morty/Summer-driven storyline, there might not be quite enough meat on these bones. The idea that Rick is reluctantly forced to care for a race of "Ricklets" he created in a one-night stand with a sentient planet is certainly amusing. It's a nice change of pace to have the whole Smith family joining in on this latest adventure. "Childrick of Mort" is a solid addition to the season that finally gives Jerry some long overdue attention. Fortunately, Season 4 finally makes up for lost time in its penultimate episode. Given how Season 3 ended with Jerry triumphant (inasmuch as he can ever truly succeed at anything), you'd think this latest batch of episodes would focus a lot more on their rivalry and Beth's torn loyalties. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of Rick and Morty: Season 4 is how little the series has focused on the brewing tension between Rick and Jerry.
