All in all, it’s all blown to hell, and Rick is indefinitely incarcerated at the Federal Prison. The Smiths are returned to Earth that is now part of the Galactic Federation: resulting in the planet being overrun by aliens and the skies covered with alien ships, each of the homes having a hostile overseeing robot, people being paid in pills and a new calendar that renders Morty 35 years old.
