Biography[]
The Precogs appear in "Morty Daddy". They run a restaurant, Prix Cogs, which Summer finds through an online ad. She makes reservations for her and Rick, hoping to spend more time with him, and convinces him that they will serve exactly what he wants to eat before he knows he wants it. Summer confronts the Precogs within their kitchen after she receives a piece of unripe avocado toast for her meal, while Rick receives Morlackian Fawn as his, which he loves. She berates them about her meal and their ability to see the future. She assaults them with a pan, but they have already called the cops on her.
The Precogs convince Rick that they only want what he wants. Because Rick is so self-centered, he falls for this. They take Rick and Summer to a safe house they have prepared, complete with a giant eclair dessert that Rick would surely want. At the safe house, they hang out with Rick, upsetting Summer because she can't spend quality time with Rick. Rick dismisses her complaints and does jello shots with the Precogs. Later, Summer drugs the Precogs and abducts them, taking them on a truck and threatening to kill them if they don't admit the truth. They submit and tell her they used her to get to Rick. Rick hunts them down, and they all wind up settling into a parking spot, and the Precogs turn the truck into their own food truck, Hot Cog, which was their plan all along. Rick then sends them to the Trash Moon dimension, where they serve hot dogs to the residents of Garbtopia. One of the precogs, Steve, serves unwanted food to the residents and uses predictions of their deaths to suppress their complaints.
