[s12e9] Zippered -

The episode begins with Rick, Morty (voiced by Justin Roiland), Summer (voiced by Spencer Grammer), and Jerry (voiced by Chris Parnell) sitting in the garage, bored out of their minds. Rick, ever the genius, claims to have created a device that can merge parallel universes. He demonstrates the device by zipping their dimension with one where Morty is a professional basketball player. However, the initial excitement quickly fades as Rick reveals that the device can only merge with universes that are within a certain proximity.

In the end, Rick is forced to shut down the device and return to their original universe. However, not before the episode ends with a thought-provoking twist: the device has created a ripple effect, causing the characters to experience strange and unsettling glitches in their reality.

As Rick continues to experiment with the device, he becomes increasingly obsessed with finding the perfect universe to merge with. He tries zipping their dimension with one where Summer is a famous singer, but it's not quite right. He then attempts to merge with a universe where Jerry is a successful businessman, but that doesn't work out either.
