Rick & Space Beth’s Failed Rescue Explained by Cisco’s Drug Mishap!

Heads Up: The article discloses SPOILERS for the second episode of Rick & Morty’s eighth season titled “Valkyrick”. In this episode, Rick and Space Beth engage in a fight with the Gromflomites. However, Rick’s secret ally, Cisco, failed to appear as expected, with the post-credit scene revealing his whereabouts. Given Rick’s notorious reluctance to trust others, it came as quite a surprise when he placed such confidence in an unknown character like Cisco. Even Space Beth questions this unexpected faith. Remarkably, Rick maintains that Cisco will fulfill his role, but until the latest post-credit scene of Rick & Morty season 8, Cisco is nowhere to be found.

Luckily, Rick and Space Beth successfully came up with a makeshift plan to defeat their enemies, with some familiar friends lending a hand in the process. However, this raises questions about why Rick was so self-assured at the beginning, as he’s not typically overly dependent on others. Yet, season 8 has been shedding light on Rick’s imperfections, hinting that a significant event must have taken place for one of his allies to turn against him. Interestingly, the real cause behind Cisco’s absence aligns more with the dark humor we see in Rick and Morty, and he will be anxious to keep Rick from discovering the truth about it.

Cisco Didn’t Help Rick & Space Beth Because He Took Too Many Drugs In “Valkyrick”

The Post-Credits Scene Revealed Cisco Completely Forgot About His Job With Rick

It seemed like Rick thought Cisco was dealing with a personal matter or something equally plausible for his absence from their mission. However, in reality, Cisco had overindulged in drugs, causing him to forget about the task at hand. In the second episode of season 8, during the post-credits scene, we find Cisco waking up in a state of panic, as he’d inadvertently missed the job that Rick appeared to have already paid for. When his colleague Sandy enquired about his distress, Cisco hastily got dressed and blurted out, “Remember that space guy who gave me a ton of cash for that task… I blew it, big time“.

In a humorous twist reminiscent of the acclaimed humor in Rick and Morty season 8, the character Cisco finds himself in a peculiar situation after responding with, “Does the space guy know you have a drug problem?” to someone earlier. Initially unaware of her friend’s struggle, Cisco later apologizes for his question. However, in an ironic turn of events, Cisco is subsequently offered more drugs – which he readily accepts. This absurd scenario not only adds depth to the character’s story but also provides a quirky resolution to the mystery surrounding Cisco’s absence. Despite the sensitive topic of drug addiction, the animated series cleverly employs humor to entertain its audience while offering an unexpected conclusion for this side character.

It seems that Cisco was eager to assist Rick and Space Beth based on his quick action of putting on his uniform right after recalling his commitment. However, it’s likely that his excessive indulgence led him to faint, explaining why he failed to complete the task entirely.

Although the Cisco reference at the end of the episode might just have been a humorous touch, it opens up possibilities for future appearances of Rick and Morty. The show often expands on seemingly unimportant jokes like this one, and there are numerous amusing scenarios where Cisco could return. The series might reuse Cisco’s character in the future, with Rick confident that he won’t let him down again, but things ending up just as they did before.

In a similar manner, Rick might challenge Cisco over his recent absence, which may prompt Cisco to reveal his drug issue, resulting in an emotional exchange. Additionally, delving into their past relationship would be intriguing because Rick’s trust in Cisco implies they’ve known each other for years, while Cisco referring to Rick as “the space guy” suggests they haven’t spent much time together yet. Whether Rick harbors resentment or extends forgiveness to his ally, it would be captivating to see Cisco reappear in the future and potentially emerge as one of the franchise’s most memorable side characters.

Thus, the appearance of the Gromflomite in “Valkyrick” might initiate an engaging storyline within Rick and Morty, and I eagerly anticipate that the show will make use of the character, Cisco, in future episodes.
