I feel like they've been mishandling Jerry's character for a while now. Using him as the punching bag works when he's causing his own problems. When he's in the right and still get punched, it just gets old. His decision to make an ultimatum in regards to Rick is already looking super justified, but the episode painted everyone's divorce angst as mostly being Jerry's fault. The episode also more or less showcased how awful a parent Beth looks like when Jerry isn't around to make fun of - can't tell apart her family from obvious robots for three weeks straight because they kept telling her what she wanted to hear. Very similar to when Jerry loved being in the illusion world because it was fulfilling all his life's wishes. Beth isn't called a loser by the wind though, also doesn't have her checks eaten by random dog (that was really random). This is a double-edged issue for me because it's both poor writing and not funny.

I do appreciate Morty growing increasingly tired of Rick's shit though.
