Rick And Morty: 9 Things In Season 5 That Were Foreshadowed In Previous Seasons
The payoff of a foreshadowed joke or reference is really rewarding to a die-hard fan, and Rick and Morty’s season 5 is chock full of satisfaction!

With the long-awaited Evil Morty reveal in the most recent season of Rick And Morty that was introduced up in season 3, fans may be wondering just how many things mentioned in season 5 are forgotten references from early episodes of the show.
In addition to a habit of meta-commentary, Rick And Morty also is a few steps (or seasons) ahead of itself, and viewers can often find an inside joke or one-liner about something that was introduced many episodes before, thus bringing a punch line or concept full circle and highlighting the talent of the writers to think so far ahead.
9 The Gotron Ferrets
Rick’s enthusiasm for the Voltron parody “Gotron” ferrets definitely gets out of hand quickly, and according to the cold open of the episode, the Ricks in all timelines hunt down the Gotron ferrets in order to complete an entire Gotron formation.
But that season 5 episode 7 episode of the show wasn’t the first time Rick has shown a passion for Voltron-themed tech. In the season 3 episode “Rest and Rickaxation,” the toxic parts of Rick and Morty are removed from their body and consequently try to make the entire world toxic. When Morty refuses to merge with his toxic counterpart, Rick uses drones that turn into a tiny Voltron robot to trap him for the injection.
8 Boob World
Although fans are still left wondering about the infamous boob-themed amusement park, the detour in season 5 isn’t the first time it’s mentioned on the show. In the season 4 episode “Rattlestar Ricklantica,” Rick and Morty have to fight an army of time-traveling snakes when Morty kills one of their kind in space and tries to replace it with a pet store snake.
Rick gets frustrated and counts it as a Morty Adventure (per Morty’s punch card) and Morty complains that he had wanted to go to Boob World with his pick. Rick asks Summer if she wants to go, but she says no. Ironically, she ends up accompanying them on the trip in season 5 because they can get in free with a girl, on account of several protests due to the lewd nature of the park.
7 Portal To The Blender Dimension
In one of Rick and Morty’s best episodes “The Ricklantis Mixup,” a rogue Rick working for Simple Rick’s assembly line takes the factory hostage. A Task Force Rick comes to deal with him, and they give him a portal gun as part of his demands. But he decides to test it first, and pushes his hostage in, immediately resulting in spurts of blood and the sound of blenders. “A portal to the blender dimension? That’s the oldest trick in the book!”
In season 5, Evil Morty hacks all of the portal fluid on the Citadel. When Rick and Morty C-137 have dinner with him and he reveals his plan, Rick decides it’s time to leave. Evil Morty tells the guards not to stop him, which makes Rick C-137 suspicious. Before stepping through himself, Rick pushes one of the guards through the portal, and spurts of blood and the sound of blenders ensue.
6 Operation Phoenix Being “Axed”
Another reference in the season 5 finale was to Operation Phoenix. A Rick and Morty trying to escape the Citadel purposefully die and have their consciousnesses uploaded to clones of themselves. Unfortunately, Evil Morty was a step ahead and had blenders installed in the tanks.
In season 4’s “Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat,” Rick is killed and Morty refuses to put his DNA into a clone because of influence from a Death Crystal, putting his whole family in danger in one of the worst things Morty has done. As a result, Rick’s consciousness is uploaded to repeated clones in different dimensions, which caused him to say “I thought I axed this program.” This itself is a callback to season 2’s “Big Trouble in Little Sanchez,” when Rick put his consciousness into a teenage version of himself. When he doesn’t like the results, he goes under the garage and starts hacking different versions of himself with an ax, thus ending Operation Phoenix.
5 “Just Shoot The ‘Me’s’ With Sci-Fi Haircuts!”
One of many iconic Rick quotes throughout Rick and Morty, this line pops up in season 5 episode “Eternal Friendshine of the Rickless Mort,” when Rick is reliving memories with Birdperson inside BP’s mind. The two are fighting off other Rick’s in his endless search for justice for the murder of Diane and Beth.
The Ricks that later become the Council of Ricks previously had their hairstyles judged by Summer in “The Rickshank Rickdemption,” saying that they killed her grandpa because they were jealous of him: “That’s pretty obvious from the haircuts.” This joke comes close to being meta, as the animators styled many of the Rick’s with funky haircuts to allow them to be differentiated from the show’s Rick, and it’s poked fun at again in the season 5 scene.
4 The Battle Of Blood Ridge
Rick is less than thrilled to be at Birdperson’s wedding in “The Wedding Squanchers” in the season 2 finale. Part of it is his admitted distaste for marriage and commitment, but part of it is possibly the tinge of jealousy–after all, BP and Rick do share a kiss in an alternate reality in the comics. When Morty says BP’s wedding is his “big day,” Rick scoffs and says that the Battle of Blood Ridge was BP’s big day.
Fans don’t find out what happened in the Battle of Blood Ridge until 3 season’s later in season 5’s “Rickternal Frienshine of the Spotless Mort” when Rick relives the memory from within Birdperson’s mind. The two fight against the Gromflamites and win, but the real loss is when Rick asks Birdperson to adventure with him and is rejected.
3 Space AIDS
A one-off comment in season 1 ended up resulting in a pretty hilarious post-credits scene in “Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion.” In that season’s episode “Raising Gazorpazorp,” Morty accidentally impregnates a breeding robot from Gazorpazorp. When discussing what to do with the offspring, Rick casually mentions that “it could eat brains and exhale Space AIDS.”
That joke is brought full-circle in season 5. The Gotrons fight against large aliens that have started popping up all over the galaxy. Viewers find out after the credits that the giant aliens are on a mission to spread the cure for Space AIDS, but can’t communicate with people, so they’re repeatedly attacked and killed.
2 The Flesh Curtains
There was a brief glimpse of a framed picture in Birdperson’s house in season 2’s “Get Schwifty.” In the picture, a long-haired Rick, Birdperson, and Squanchy are onstage playing a show as the band The Flesh Curtains. The image was added to the many things that inspire Rick And Morty fan art and the concept was even turned into a T-shirt.
That picture served as foreshadowing to another “Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort” scene, depicting the day that Rick and BP met for the first time at a music festival. When Rick finally reaches Birdperson and they’re trying to stop his mind from imploding, they jump through shared memories, and one of them is The Flesh Curtains up on stage at the music festival. Rick gives a speech about his new friends and explains that they were so high they formed a band. Thus, The Flesh Curtains was born.
1 Rick And Morty’s Infinite Bond
It was many episodes ago that Morty first discovered that there were other versions of Rick and himself throughout different realities and that the Ricks had formed a Citadel dedicated to them all. In “Close Rickcounters of the Rick Kind,” he’s angry at first about it devaluing the significance of their relationship, but then says it must be pretty special to span across all those timelines.
Rick then explains that their brain waves cancel each other out: perfect camouflage from potential threats. That’s where the explanation is left until the show’s most recent and best finale yet. Morty was right: their relationship is special. So special, in fact, that Ricks manipulated timelines to create Mortys, as well as fabricating them in a lab. Morty’s “special” role in their duo helps to make up the Central Finite Curve–which was also foreshadowed multiple times by different Ricks but was never explained until the finale.
