Beth has always wanted to love herself, but she's never been able to fully take that step. Sure, there's an implication that Rick's special wine acts as some sort of catalyst for their attraction, but it runs deeper than any chemical sci-fi mojo. This maybe-a-clone-maybe-not-a-clone lives the life that Beth has long dreamed of, and now it's literally in her grasp.

Space Beth is the carefree, independent version of herself that Beth's always wanted to be, and crucially, she hasn't had to change herself to reach this point. Rick and Morty finally gives fans what they want It seems that no one really understands her or the trauma Rick once put her through, except Space Beth, of course. Still, this claustrophobic existence remains suffocating for Beth, even as her father and children go off to explore the impossible and leave her behind in the house with Jerry. Beth is also loving in many ways too, and while she might not win a Mother of the Year award here, or anywhere else in the multiverse for that matter, she's always there for her family still. It's no wonder that she's able to find solace in another version of herself then, one who knows Beth better than anyone else ever could.Īs we learned a few years back in Beth's origin episode, she's more like Rick than we ever realised before, so now, the only way she can survive suburbia is to suppress those darker, crueller aspects of herself. It's a classic Jerry-ism, but it also reminds us that Beth has long felt trapped by this idiot of a man. The story starts off innocently enough, aside from when Jerry says he'll kill himself if Beth would ever leave him.
