Storyline
On this adventure, Rick and Morty find themselves on an alien planet. This alien planet is not advanced like you’d probably imagine. These aliens live for at most ten minutes before they lay an egg and immediately die. Summer takes the alien race out of the caves and coins the term “Glory to Glorzo”. The aliens are also parasites whose way of life is based around them latching on to others and taking over their bodies.

Glorzoian: “Yes, we love it. I’ll do it right now.”
