[OneBiasedOpinion]

The fact that Rick let her finish her speech and didn’t contradict her to her face says that he heard at least something in what the therapist said that he knew was true.

[larrybarker]

This is probably the first time THE Rick Sanchez was given a reality check. And what makes this scene even better was that it wasn’t given by some powerful god or anything of that sort, but by a normal individual; an “agent of averageness” if you will.

[ivanramirez]

The fact that Rick continues to see Dr. Wong after this speaks volumes. She sees right through his nihilistic facade and offers her insight in trying to understand him. No one else has attempted that; she not only achieved to placate Rick’s place in his wild antics, but she also showed warmth towards him in a constructive way that helps him overcome his own self-hatred. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have saved her during Tammy’s ambush.

[adamelliott]

Susan Sarandon was the perfect voice for this. Able to have empathy and gravitas while maintaining an even tone.

[GippyHappy]

Rick really got saved by the bell on this one cause you know he didn’t have a good response to that absolute take down

[levikrikke]

Ricks first L in an episode full of effortless W’s giving the true feeling of Rick being humbled. Incredible writing what a visionary

[anothaeasywin]

The Therapist was the strongest character in the R&M universe😂

[luciengrondin]

"...and if you have any friends and family that eat poop and would like to stop, give them my number."

I love how they didn't forget to end the scene on a funny note.

[nacho_channel]

The "your own mind literally vegetated by your own hand" is what nails it to Rick, he got put in place

[krisbelch]

I feel like the therapist is saying that Rick could have just said No to coming to family therapy, yet he chose to lie and turn himself into a pickle. Forcing himself into a dangerous situation for his "need for adventure." Yes therapy would be boring to him but like the therapist said "It's just work... some people are fine with going to work everyday and some people would rather die." Rick didn't say no to coming to therapy because he doesn't want to die, he lied because he was afraid to admit to his family that he isn't thrilled in sustaining or maintaining a relationship with them.

[ComicalRealm]

One of the few times Rick was truly defeated.

[Volantredx]

I love the small touch that Rick doesn't try to argue with her because a major part of his character is accepting the ugly truths other people ignore because it is scary or hurtful. He can't deny she's right honestly and rather than fruitlessly argue with her just because he's in pain from what she said he just has to sit there and take it until he gets out of the situation and can mock her later for things other than what she said.

[theodenmannix]

"Intelligent people can be and often are happy. It's just that miserable people always think happy people must be less intelligent than they are."

[Force_Of_Habit]

"use intelligence to justify sickness"
This right here is the ultimate reality check.

[LeonardoVarini]

Best scene in the entire show. It even helped me to understand some of my own behaviors...

[kamijouteitoku]

The writers either truly knew what they were doing or the stars aligned just right this episode. Throughout the screentime Rick showed how he was an unstoppable force despite his condition through sheer wit, but faces defeat in the finale however through someone who got into his head.

[stellar]

She really captures the undeniable, and not anything complex. Despite Rick's impressive intelligence, he uses it as an excuse for self-destructive behavior and to evade personal responsibility. His constant pursuit of reckless adventures is a means to avoid mundane yet essential tasks, like self-care and emotional healing. Ultimately, everyone--even someone as brilliant and capable as Rick--is responsible for their actions and their consequences.

[castbet]

Wow first time in a long time is when Rick felt like the dumbest person in the room because even he can’t argue with the facts presented to him. You could tell he felt defeated because he couldn’t come up with some Rick level retort towards her

[Evilanious]

Everyone talking about how Rick was defeated here. He might take it that way because any conversation is a fight with Rick, but it's not a psychologist's job to epically own her patients. She was trying to help. Unfortunately to Rick and perhaps to some people here judging by the comments, accepting help is tantamount to accepting defeat. Rick is his own worst enemy.

Rick- Feelings don’t matter

Psychologist- Feelings are a choice, thats why you are miserable.
