How to watch Rick and Morty season 5 episode 3 online, start time, channel and more
How will Rick and Morty get over the Decoy Wars?
Episode 3 of Rick and Morty season 5 — titled "A Rickconvenient Mort" — will broadcast at 11 p.m. ET today (July 4).
It's on Cartoon Network, during the AdultSwim block.
It’s time to watch Rick and Morty season 5 episode 3, which is set up to be a prime way to end a fun Sunday. Taking place after the Russian nesting doll of an episode — all of the decoys gave the family more reason to be fed up with Rick's machinations — we're back for more chaos. Based on the title of this week's edition, they’re back in another apocalypse scenario.
Yes, the universe is always ending on Rick and Morty, but this week's title "A Rickconvenient Mort" specifically references Al Gore's documentary about global warming. And every episode title this season has had something of a clue for its contents.

We started out with episode 1, "Mort Dinner Rick Andre," where the overtly sexual dinner guest from hell wasn't the big thing on Morty's mind. That said, Rick's nemesis Mr. Nimbus did prove to be distracting enough that Morty bungled things pretty badly on his date with Jessica.
Then, episode 2, "Mortyplicity" saw Rick's clone/decoy army become a giant mobius strip of attacks and jokes and misdirects.
And so we're now leading to some other kind of chaos, and we wonder if this will be the moment where Morty finally says enough is enough — and means it. More likely, though, that would happen in episode 5 or episode 10 which would be the cliffhanger episodes before breaks — if history repeats itself.
