"Rick and Morty" Season 3 Episode 2, titled "Rickmancing the Stone," may see Morty go against his grandfather. According to plot speculations, Morty may finally stand up to Rick after he instigated his parents' divorce.

Adult Swim has yet to announce the release date for "Rick and Morty" Season 3 Episode 2 although it is confirmed to air in Summer. The common notion is that the episode arrives in July, although fans expect it to come earlier in June. IMDB initially listed a May release for "Rickmancing the Stone" but this never happened.

Regardless, ahead of the show's return, several speculations have surfaced on the possible plot for "Rick and Morty" Season 3 Episode 2. According to Den of Geek, "Rickmancing the Stone" may see a conflict happen between the titular characters. Morty may finally stand up for himself and go against his grandfather's orders. Several scenes from the season premiere hinted at this oncoming rivalry between Rick and Morty.

In Episode 1 Morty thought he had killed his grandfather until he realized that Rick had given him a fake gun. The fact that Morty did not hesitate to pull the trigger hints he has ill feelings towards Rick, which may further manifest in "Rick and Morty" Season 3 Episode 2.

Likewise, the premiere episode saw Morty criticized his grandfather. He did not call Rick a hero during an argument with Summer. Most importantly, the look on Morty's face after he learned about his parents' divorce is telling of his oncoming conflict with Rick in "Rick and Morty" Season 3 Episode 2.

Morty appeared hurt after he learned that making Jerry go away was part of Rick's plan. It is likely that "Rick and Morty" Season 3 Episode 2 further explores Morty's contempt towards his grandfather. Regardless, according to Inverse, "Rickmancing the Stone" may still find the pair working together.

According to the publication, "Rick and Morty" Season 3 Episode 2 may see the pair on a rescue mission to save Summer. They would have to put their rivalry or conflict aside for the meantime to fulfill the mission.
