WOW. Rick and Morty Season 3 Episode 7, “The Ricklantis Mixup,” may very well have been the best episode of the ENTIRE series. That ending twist was amazing.

Yes, President Morty is actually EVIL MORTY.

Yes, the information that a Rick secretly passed on to his former Campaign Manager was that the kindhearted Morty running for President was actually Evil Morty. He tricked everyone — again.

The next picture to appear (which you can just barely see in the top lefthand corner) was of Evil Morty with wiring in his eye.
ITS EVIL MORTY
And while the pictures were floating in space, we got to hear the Evil Morty theme song. Here’s the song again, as it appeared in a previous episode:

HOLY EVIL MORTY @RickandMorty
