According to USA Today, McDonald's spokesperson Terri Hickey stated that 'We never say never, because when our customers speak, we listen. In the first episode of the third season, 'The Rickshank Redemption', Rick shows a significant interest in Szechuan sauce and insists that his motivation in life is 'finding that McNugget sauce' caused a public interest in having the sauce be reinstated on the McDonald's menu, with some fans attempting to recreate the sauce themselves. Rick is frequently depicted with drool on his mouth and burping while he talks, as a result of his alcoholism. His huge ego and reckless, ethically questionable behaviour often lead to him making enemies and getting himself and his family in trouble. He isn't afraid to speak his mind and voice harsh opinions of the things about his family that irritate him. While he has shown signs of loving his family and caring deeply about his best friend Birdperson, he has also been shown to be very self-centered, emotionally unstable and willing to threaten, harm, or kill on a whim to get his own way. However, he has been proven to be wrong on several occasions, even by his more naive grandson. His intelligence makes him believe that existence is miserable and pointless, largely due to his knowledge of infinite universes and timelines with endless possibilities. Rick is a grumpy, sociopathic, emotionally unstable, bad-tempered, dismissive, narcissistic, cynical, self-centered, destructive, incredibly intelligent, alcoholic, self loathing, rude and crude mad scientist who often drags his 14-year-old grandson, Morty, and sometimes other members of his family on dangerous adventures. Rick also indirectly convinces Beth to divorce Jerry for trying to convince the family to sell him out.
But in the season three premiere 'The Rickshank Redemption', by taking out the Council of Ricks while saving Morty and Summer, it is revealed that Rick actually turned himself in to access the Federation's supercomputer and wipe it out financially. Rick turns himself into the Federation to allow his family to return home, and is incarcerated on a prison planet under the charges of having committed 'everything'. The family is forced to inhabit an unusually small yet Earth-like planet, as they cannot return to Earth due to Rick's status as a wanted criminal.
In the second season's finale, 'The Wedding Squanchers', Rick and his family attend Birdperson's wedding, where Birdperson is betrayed and killed by his bride Tammy, a double agent for the Galactic Federation. He soon becomes anguished in his new body, and manages to return to his older true form, and murders a line of other clones he produced. In the episode 'Big Trouble in Little Sanchez', Rick transfers his consciousness into a younger clone of himself, whom he calls 'Tiny Rick'. In the episode 'Get Schwifty', it is revealed that Rick was once in a rock band called the Flesh Curtains, alongside Birdperson and Squanchy. In the first episode of the second season, 'A Rickle in Time', Rick nearly sacrifices himself to save Morty but saves his own life when he realizes that doing so is possible.
