Rick and Morty Season 7 has made it through its second episode with Adult Swim, and it's starting to build on a pattern where Gene is becoming even more important than ever! Rick and Mortyhas kicked off this newest season not with a return to one of the bigger narratives running from the end of the sixth season, but instead more episodic stories showing off more sides of Rick. This includes the characters around him as well as they are starting to get more development, and it surprisingly also means characters you'd never expect being very relevant like Gene.
