Synopsis[]
Summer wants to get into college. Meanwhile, Rick works on an invention that injects feces into Morty's knees.
Plot[]
Rick is in the garage working on an invention, when Summer enters and starts talking to him about going to college. Rick tells her that he's too busy working on an invention that will inject feces into Morty's knees for the purpose of decapitating Morty's knees. Morty is laying on the ground, with his knees full of excrement and Rick tries to shut Summer out of the conversation, while she continues to ask him about what college to go to.
At Harvard, Summer goes to see the Dean of Admission, where she applies to go to college. Rick enters the room, just as his phone rings and shows summer that he had successfully decapitated Morty's knees and also granted him the ability to fly. He wears him as a backpack. The Dean of Admission loves this and he accepts her into college. A montage of Summer doing a bunch of smart things happens.
4 Years later, Summer finishes college and comes back home. When she returns, she hears the news that something went wrong with Morty's knee injection and now he has been reduced to a floating eyelash. Just then, a rip in the space time continuum open up and a cow-headed demon named "Nebutron" comes out and tries to stop Rick, Morty, and Summer from doing the things they are doing. Morty tries to stop Nebutron by flying into his eye, but Nebutron blows Morty and makes a wish to send the garage into outer space. The garage then gets launched into outer space and explodes.
