Evil Morty Returns in Rick & Morty Season 9, Faces Omega Device and Time‑Cops Capture

The season 9 premiere of Adult Swim’s animated series Rick & Morty brings back the series’ most notorious antagonist, Evil Morty, three years after his last appearance. In the episode “There’s Something About Morty,” Evil Morty blackmails Rick with the Omega Device, threatening to erase the Smith family across all realities unless Rick helps defeat a multiverse‑devouring entity known as The Collective.

Rick and Evil Morty team up to confront The Collective, ultimately tricking the entity into destroying itself. During the battle, Rick manages to destroy the Omega Device, freeing himself from Evil Morty’s leverage. The conflict ends with the Smith family and Rick subduing Evil Morty; the Time Cops intervene, arresting him and imprisoning him indefinitely in a timeless prison.

The episode marks a major plot shift, concluding Evil Morty’s storyline for now and setting up new multiversal adventures for Rick and Morty.
