You think I’m fucking you, but I’m really fucking somebody else,

I like that my roommates boyfriend is starting to know me better than she does.
Only because he hears me crying on the phone to everyone and she’s never home.
You think I’m fucking you, but I’m really fucking somebody else,

I always knew Rick was a bisexual slut but it's awesome to find out that he was legit straight up in love with his best friend and battle buddy, Bird Person.
If Rick's Beth died when she was young, then imagine Rick when he first started going to alternative timelines. Imagine what he felt when he laid eyes on a Summer and Morty for the first time, and realized he lost more than he ever knew.
This episode answered a lot of questions about Rick's behavior, such as:
- Why he flips out every time he thinks Morty's going to abandon him and tries to control his family's every move
- Why he craves his family's affection and approval despite keeping them at an arm's length
- Why he acts cold and aloof but gets emotional at the most random moments, like when he had to kill Pencilvester
- Why he's so resistant to making friends with anyone besides Bird Person
- Why he showed up on Beth's doorstep after disappearing for decades (apparently he's not the one who left in the first place)
- Why it's so easy for him to jump to other universes and leave his "original" family behind--none of them are his original family, not even Morty.
This doesn't answer everything and raises a lot of other questions, but at least we're getting some explanation for the way Rick acts the way he does. Damn, what a great episode.
