Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
As enjoyable as this season of Rick and Morty has been, it's been frustrating to see so little attention devoted to Beth and Jerry. Jerry is pretty much the best character on the show, after all, and the fact that the two are dealing with the fallout of their divorce leaves the door open for all sorts of wacky, emotionally draining adventures. "The ABCs of Beth" felt like a concerted effort to make up for lost time, and it didn't disappoint.
It really is high time Beth enjoyed a starring role for a change. In a show crammed full of psychologically complex characters, she's among the most fragile and damaged. She basically combines all the worst traits of her father - the alcoholism, the ego, the often indifferent attitude towards her children - with a pathological need to impress Rick and convince herself that he's worthy of the effort. Among other things, this episode was great about shining a light on their dysfunctional relationship and exploring just how far back that dysfunction started. The takeaway this week is really that Beth is far more screwed up than the show ever let on.
