OK, this part could have much higher rating, were it not to close the season. It was pretty much like Pickle Rick in dynamic - Rick's (and in the beginning, Morty's) crazy adventure, in contrast with the slower side-story of Beth's insecurities about being a clone.
The good: * The president part. Their duel was full of with crazy moments, and it was good to see a previous protagonist as a main antagonist.
The bad: * The side-line after Beth made out with Jerry, and the final four- and-a-half minutes. After fleshing out the Smith story-line throughout the entire season, this conclusion was rather rushed, and left a sour taste after all this preparation. * The after credits.
I am sure that binge-watchers, like, 6 years later won't understand the low rating of this episode, but right now it left some empty space beyond it. Whereas the other season finales seemed complete, even with the deliberate promise of continuing the story, this one lacks the cool-handedness of "Ricksy Business", and the dark, emotional tone of "The Wedding Squanchers". Oh, and the darkest thing so far is Rick still didn't get his Szechuan Teriyaki dipping sauce!
