Rick is so freaking stubborn. They could have avoided all of that if he chose to just clean his dish.
The whole sequence with the indestructible dishes is just peak petty Rick.
I wonder if there's something deeper there with Night Summer mentioning how she's always existed. She definitely seems to understand Rick more than anyone else. And she knows how to manipulate him into doing what she wants. She's the most competent member of that family and she's really clever too. I wonder if he's going to start to start seeing her as a threat.
