I am so glad that the abomination of Season 4 Episode 6 seems to be a one off. Episode 7,8 and now 9 turned out to be really great episodes, full of funny and original moments. I think 9 personally was one of the best in the season, it had that classic Rick and Morty feel where Rick unleashes his mega-genius and does something pointless but entertaining. I know it seems like "Oh they aren't sticking to the story now" but I think this type of Rick and Morty is satisfying for the majority of viewers, at least for the time being. I think (and hope) they will return to a more directional story next season, but let's be happy with what we have now because it really was nothing to complain about (apart from episode 6).
