MAIN THANG – Something Ricked This Way Comes

* S1E9 – “Something Ricked This Way Comes”

* Originally aired: March 24, 2014

* Written by Mike McMahan

* Directed by john Rice and Pete Michels

* Synopsis

* Rick starts a feud with the Devil after he moves into town and offers Summer a job in a “Needful Things” send-up. Meanwhile Jerry tries to help Morty finish his science project and lands them in the middle of a political conspiracy-thriller plot on the planet Pluto (ahem *celestial dwarf). There’s also a D-plot in which a small robot discovers existential dread

Discussion Points:

* Reddit Discussion

* Pluto. Is it a planet, a celestial dwarf or something completely different? Defend your science!

* Have you played Jerry’s game? If so, what’s your high score?

* Some voids can’t be filled with Jamba Juice, but what voids can be filled by jamba juice?

* What item in Mr. Needful’s shop would you grab? After taking it to Curse Purge Plus how would that item be improved?

* This episode explores a lot of Science versus Magic. Does the existence of the Devil prove problematic for the universe the show has created? Do Rick’s viewpoints hold up if Magic exists? Is magic just fancy science?

* Besides the Appley Award, what other things can you spot in Mr. Needful’s store?
