To take down the Heistotron, Rick assembles another crew of random folks, and insists upon them committing random acts in order to avoid falling into any of the traditional heist narrative’s tropes or cliches.

Of course, in order to get into Heist Con, Rick has to assemble a crew to prove he’s a professional heist-er, which leads to the requisite assembling-a-crew montage - but then not only does he get challenged to a heist off by rival Miles Knightly, but that crew ends up double-crossing him.Īnd that’s just the first of many such double-crosses, though perhaps the worst is when Rick creates a computer designed to be the ultimate heist machine, and the Heistotron goes rogue, going from quietly converting everyone at Heist Con into loyal members of Rick’s crew (who tear the entire place apart when commanded by Rick to steal everything) to becoming a sentient ship roaming the galaxy, accidentally destroying planets with its over-the-top zeal for heist-ing. This brings them to Heist Con, a convention devoted to heists and the people who like to do them (which, again, pisses off Rick because “stealing stuff is about the stuff, not the stealing”). There’s no Sanchez family drama this week instead, it’s all about Rick taking Morty out on an adventure - first, to raid an abandoned temple, Indiana Jones style, and then when they discover that the temple has already been raided, to go track down the jerk who beat them to the job.

In this week’s Rick and Morty, the entire point of the narrative is to burst the balloon that is “hey, who doesn’t love a good heist story?” by pushing a heist story to the levels of chaos that this show can achieve nimbly. Who doesn’t love a good heist story? That’s not a rhetorical question - the answer is Rick Sanchez.
