How To Watch Rick And Morty Season 8, Episode 6, "The CuRicksous Case of Bethjamin Button"

space-beth2 — Space Beth, Rick and Morty

Fans can watch Rick and Morty season 8, episode 6, " The CuRicksous Case of Bethjamin Button " on Sunday, June 29th, 2025 at 11 p.m. E.T. On Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network.

The official description reads:

"The brohs goes to a theme park Rick loves; Beth and Space Beth stay behind and regress or something."

Rick's daughter Beth Smith's clone Space Beth (Sarah Chalke) has been a notable and entertaining part of Rick and Morty season 8. Space Beth is first introduced in season 4 and comes back in season 8, episode 2, "Valkyrick." It's fun to hear that both Beth and Space Beth will be in episode 6, and the other main storyline sounds great, too. It's easy to imagine how much chaos Rick could cause at an amusement park, especially if he tries to change one of the existing rides or comes up with a quirky scientific idea. After all, Rick can't just go on a ride, get some junk food, and call it a day. He's definitely going to start up some trouble and get some other characters involved, too.

In an interview with Gizmondo before Rick and Morty season 8 premiered, creator Dan Harmon talked about the philosophy behind Space Beth. He said:

"For me, it’s always been like, ‘Well, who are you?’ It’s a nature versus nurture thing. Notably, we don’t know if it’s Space Beth or domestic Beth that is the clone."

Space Beth works so well since Beth and Rick have a difficult and unique dynamic. Although of course this family is dealing with clones and outer space, which sets them apart from other animated sitcom characters, Rick and Beth's tough father/daughter relationship is relatable for many. Through Space Beth, the show examines how families can try to connect after years of miscommunication or mistakes being made. Beth also knows that Rick and Morty are close, which complicates things.

As Harmon said during a panel at the 2020 The Paley Center for Media's 8th annual PaleyFest NY, fans aren't sure who is the Clone Beth and who is the real Beth, and that's by design (via Bleedingcool.com). Space Beth was introduced to drive home how problematic Rick was as a parent. While it would be cool to see her more often, she feels special because she doesn't appear in every single episode.
