“No, Morty. That’s the viewer . He thinks he’s safe. Thinks he’s not in the episode.” Rick raised his portal gun, but instead of firing into the scene, he aimed it outward —through the screen, through the glass floor, straight at Leo’s chest.

Leo nodded, throat dry.

“Don’t worry,” said Solarick, patting his shoulder with a hand made of corrupted pixels. “You’re not trapped. You’re just a new character now. Congratulations—you’ve been retconned into the B-plot.”

He laughed. “Cool fan edit.”

He was inside.

And somewhere in the infinite dark, Rick C-137 was still aiming that portal gun, whispering: “No, Morty

The Solarick clapped. “See? That’s the version Adult Swim buried. Because if viewers knew they could be watched back … they might stop watching.”

Then his TV went black. Then white. Then his living room wasn’t his living room anymore. He stood on a glass floor suspended over an infinite, churning kaleidoscope of timelines—each one a different version of the Smith house, each Rick burping, each Morty stammering. In the center of the void, a holographic projector displayed a paused frame: Rick Sanchez, mid-burp, portal gun raised. Thinks he’s not in the episode

On it, Rick (C-137) wasn’t fighting Rick Prime. He was staring directly at Leo.

“You’re late, Viewer 734,” said a voice that was almost Justin Roiland’s but with too many teeth. A figure stepped out from behind the projector. He looked like Rick, but his lab coat was made of raw data, and his eyes were VHS tracking errors.
