Trivia[]
- The stinger is a Bookend of opening battle of "Girl Who Manipulates Time".
- Though the only difference is it finally explains how Elle first met Morty.
- Beth appears to still be alive in the Simulation when her granddaughter Maria is a teenager. Though, it is unknown if this is actually Beth or Space Beth.
- Jerry doesn't appear during the time that Maria is all grown up, so he may have passed away.
- In celebration of Rick and Morty: The Anime, Pocket Mortys' weekly updates coincided with new episodes, including new avatars for players to collect. With the release of this episode came Anime Summer as an avatar, plus Dealership Morty and Dad Morty to catch.
Errors[]
Cultural references[]
- When Morty lives out an entire life together with Elle despite being it being a simulation of what could happen, is possibly a reference to "The Inner Light", an episode from the television series, Star Trek: The Next Generation.
