She had just discovered Auntie Lenora wearing nothing but a t-shirt in her dad’s house and with her freshly washed underwear drying on the radiators… The person to blame for the break-in? Bella – although, as another flashback shows, there’s another side to every story. It’s not all positive – her dad recalls the time his house was robbed and the next day the thieves came back for his distinctive “burnt clementine” Toyota. After waiting for hours and cycling through some flashbacks from her youth off waiting for her dad, he turns up and the big family reminiscing session gets underway. Auntie Lenora, her mum’s pal, turns up momentarily, but Bella either doesn’t remember her or pretends not to. With this bombshell marinading in her head, Bella heads off to mum’s house to help make dinner and ignore Terry’s calls. Then Simon starts talking about being told to leave Bella on the night she was raped, assuming Terry has told her herself. At first, things are a little tense – not least when the vision in her head of a man stood over her in a cubicle transforms into Simon – but soon the two friends are putting their fight to one side and making amends. It’s the first time she’s seen him since the night of her rape and she needs to give him back the jacket he lent her that evening. After dropping Terry off at her acting audition, she heads to the park to meet Simon. Before the party can get started, though, Bella has some business to take care of. It’s Arabella’s mum’s birthday and the whole family is getting together to celebrate – Bella, her mum, dad and brother Nick.

Of course, the entire world-threatening event was all Rick’s convoluted plan to kill Morty’s desire to be a screenwriter, ensuring that his faithful companion would never lose interest in their adventures again. Rick is uncharacteristically supportive, but as Morty pitches his idea to the Netflix executives, he loses his enthusiasm, recognizing how contrived and predictable his script really is (amusingly, the Netflix execs love the idea). It’s a hilarious parody of not just Ocean’s 11 and its string of dumb sequels, but films that desperately try to outsmart their audiences by overcomplicating the narrative, and yet, still feel dull and predictable.Īfter Rick manages to defeat his creation, Morty reveals that he’s scheduled for a meeting with Netflix, who are keen to hear his pitch for a heist movie. Either that, or two toddlers coming up with an endless stream of increasingly convoluted excuses. The intense battle of pre-planned moves feels like a segment from Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, in which Dream duels a demon of Hell through storytelling, each trying to trap the other inside a dead end.
But even his character is thrown aside as Rick delivers bigger and bigger plot twists, finally facing off against the Heistatron, the two throwing piles of plot twists at one another, in a bid to shift reality itself to their whim.
