• Jive Turkey: Jerry is talking in made-upward slang.
• Love Cannot Overcome: Despite its feelings for Rick, Unity cannot ignore the fact that Rick is a bad influence and he would never change.

Unity goes to Beta-vii later on breaking up with Rick, and The Stinger is Rick demanding Beta-7 access to its fortress and so he can talk to Unity. It's possible that Unity isn't with Beta-7 romantically at this betoken, since it didn't seem to be interested in it and Rick outright states that Unity isn't into other hive minds, but Rick is clearly notwithstanding jealous nigh this.

• Parental Sexuality Squick: Summertime is grossed out by the image of Rick having sex with Unity.
• Power Perversion Potential: Up to Eleven with Unity's ability to digest anyone and anything. Rick takes full advantage of the fact that with its ability he can have endless orgies. His first asking to Unity requires some preparation time.

  Rick: No, not similar this. I need a hang glider and a crotchless Uncle Sam costume, and I want your largest stadium filled cease to cease with naked redheads, and I desire the stands packed with every man who remotely resembles my male parent.

  Later in the episode...

  Rick: But first, a quick question: Tin you digest a giraffe?

• "The Reason You Suck" Speech:
  • After being Forced to Watch Beth and Jerry's screaming match, Blim Blam breaks costless of his restraints and steals ane of Rick's alien language translators just so he tin yell at them nearly how atrocious they are to one another and that they never should have gotten together in the first place.

    You know the reason why I ripped my bondage out of the wall? And do you know why I'thou never coming back to this planet?! Because the two of yous are the fucking worst! You both detest yourselves and each other! And the idea that it has anything to do with Rick is laughable. I'd laugh, simply I'k biologically incapable. That's how alien I am! And even I'm sitting hither listening to the two of y'all and being like, "what the fuck!?" And then practiced luck with your shitty marriage, and tell Rick I'chiliad pitiful he has to bargain with either of you lot. Blim Blam out! *Mic Drop*

  • Summer and Morty to Rick when they tell him he'south a bad influence on Unity and try to insist he comes home with them, though this is undermined past Unity siding with Rick and calling them buzzkills (at to the lowest degree at the time).
  • Unity eventually agrees with them, and its notation to Rick is a more subtle and gentle ane and mixes it with a "The Reason I Suck" Speech communication:

    Rick, forgive me for doing this in notes. I'm non potent enough to do information technology in persons. I realize now that I'm attracted to you for the aforementioned reason I can't exist with you. You tin't modify. And I accept no problem with that, but it conspicuously means I accept a problem with myself. I'yard certain there's no perfect version of me. I'k certain I'll just unify species after species and never really be consummate. But I know how it goes with us. I lose who I am and become part of yous. Because in a strange way, you're amend at what I exercise without fifty-fifty trying.

• Rushmore Refacement: Summer and Morty get their own Rushmore monument built.
• Secret-Keeper: Morty and Summer knew Rick had an alien locked up under the garage and threatened to tell their parents if he didn't come out.
