In Rick and Morty season 7 episode 8, Morty joins Water-T and Goldenford in the war between the Numbericons and the Alphabetrians.

Recap

With the Numbericons invading his planet, Water-T loses his father, who gives him a pendant called the “I of Harmony” before he hits the bucket. Sinistar-7 gives chase but Water-T manages to flee to Earth.

He’s there to get help from his former Math teacher, Mr. Goldenford, to help solve the equation written over the I of Harmony. Morty is in detention so he gets pulled into this war when Sinistar-7 follows Water-T to Earth and all leave for the planet E-10.

That’s the planet where, as legends would have it, the God of Letters first created them. They all arrive on the planet crashing, along with Sinistar-7. They meet the tribe of the scribbles and squiggly doodles.

Sinistar-7 and Water-T eventually go through their enemies-to-lovers arc and passions arise. However, when Sinistar-7’s father Emperor Dreadnaught arrives, everything changes. Water-T is robbed of the I of Harmony.

Unexpectedly, the Dreadnaught’s mole living amid the Letters, Number 8 takes the I of the Harmony for himself and unleashes it to become infinity himself. He soon disposes of Dreadnaught and makes Sinistar-7 his general.

Mad with power, he kills both Letters and Numbericons. His genocide is stopped by Water-T, who becomes Magma-T when his father’s ghost bestows upon him his power.

Using his union with Sinistar-7, Magma-T activates I of the Harmony and defeats Infinity. Peace is restored and the new alliance between the Letters and Numbericons gives rise to the Alphanumericons.

Review

The double entendres are funny in this one and it’s a nice change of pace to not have Rick and Morty both be involved in an adventure. In fact, Morty doesn’t really do all that, other than find a love for mathematics.
Will Morty’s newfound love for mathematics stick to the canon and possibly add to his character development? Only time will tell.
Ice-T does a great bit of voice acting here and manages to be pretty funny even outside of the material he’s given to work with.
It’s also great to see the continuation of a story that viewers last saw back in Rick and Morty season 2.
