Who can forget Morty's "Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Though this was mostly ignored in order to follow sitcom rules and to allow the show to keep its same tone, the show did reference this as a turning point for Morty, who was traumatized by the experience of burying himself. The very first season had Rick and Morty destroy the Earth before fleeing to a different dimension where everyone else lived but they died, buried their doppelgangers in the backyard, and took their place. Of course, this is not entirely new within the show. But slowly, and particularly this season, the show has attempted to do something few sitcoms do: Add some real consequences and change the status quo. Rick and Morty has mostly followed this rule: Though aliens have invaded the planet and Rick has gone to prison in the past, things usually go back to normal in the next episode and everything turns out fine for the Smith family. As Bojack Horseman said during the "Free Churro" episode of his titular show, "The first rule of a sitcom is that things can't change and people can't be happy." In order to keep the show going from season to season, the story has to reset at the beginning of each new season, no matter what kind of big changes the characters go through in the previous season.
