Birdperson defends Rick and points to a collection of framed photos. One photo shows Rick holding what appears like a very young Morty. Fans had a right to question: Why was Rick’s and Morty’s relationship one of the few constants in the dozen universes shown throughout the series? Perhaps it was the only const.t..
