The Ending of the ‘The Rick, the Morty, and the Ugly’ Episode
Before you witness the fight between Hillbilly Rick and the Rick clones, you will notice three of the clones playing with dice. Even the rules of the game were not properly defined. Surprisingly, an unusual event occurred in which the two dice grew their legs and hands out of their hardcover. After this, they began confronting each other with savage punches and mouths. To this site, the clone had to shout out to make them stop their senseless fight. By now Hillbilly Rick arrived at the scene and shot the Rick clones and helped the Morty clones to escape.
We see it as a win for Hillbilly Rick, which indeed is. However, the ending of the episode will make you laugh uncontrollably. As the fight wrapped up, the dice were looking at the sunset, which felt like a perfect ending to the episode. Instead, the two again started fighting each other in the worst way possible.
Similarities between the post-credits and the real episode
The post-credits of the season and the real third episode are different, but similar at the same time. The common thread between them is the ending of both clips. They may end with a different plot and background but have the same conceptual ending. Both clips show the fight between the two dice while the episode initially ends peacefully. This shows the humor element used by the makers so that the audience can relate to it lightheartedly.
In the third episode, the episode didn’t end in a stressful and tense scenario. The makers made sure that the audience was relaxed before they wrapped up this episode. In addition to the dice element, the makers let the protagonist Morty enter the screen again. However, everyone started blaming Arcade Morty for killing Hillbilly Rick including Morty. He wasn’t aware of the events that happened that day, and thus, he went away without listening to Arcade Morty’s explanation.
