The “Rick and Morty” season 5 finale aired on Sunday night with not just one episode but two: “Forgetting Sarick Mortshall” and “Rickmurai Jack.”

Forgetting Sarick Mortshall starts familiar enough. After accidentally spilling some portal juice on his hand, Morty gets into a fight with Rick, and they soon part ways. This isn’t the first time that Rick and Morty have turned on each other, but their separation lasts a lot longer than usual, encompassing everything from Puddle Jerry and the Portal Boys to vomit in the mouth and an alien crow tractor beam.

It’s been five seasons coming, but Rick has finally acknowledged his own cruel toxicity, and what makes this even more painful is that his sudden realization doesn’t fix what’s already broken. Morty expects them to get back together, “because that’s what happens at the end of a Rick and Morty episode”, but that’s not on the cards, not immediately anyway.
