"I'm gonna kill you!" Morty shouted, following out the door after Summer.

"Oof, look like you two have to fight about why you can't control your kids," Rick said as he began his way towards the garage. Cas grabbed his plate and utensils, stacking it onto her as she followed him. "Good thing Dr. Wong's got an opening. Bye," He grinned. Cas put the plates into the sink as she walked by it, smiling slightly at Rick as he held the garage door open for her.

The sight inside the garage made her freeze for a moment, green wisps coming to her hands. "Garage, family therapy mode," Rick said as the garage boarded up the doors with metal doors and red laser beams. Rick sighed contently before looking at Cas, still not noticing what she had. "How about we have some therapy of our own, Cassie?" Rick grinned only to follow Cas' glare to see another version of Beth at the other end of the garage. "Honey. You're back." Rick said awkwardly.

"You seem surprised," the Beth commented.

"You never wrote," Rick tried.

"And never exploded?" the Beth asked, holding a metal device up before tossing it to the workbench besides Cas and Rick.

"What I'm hearing is that you think that's a bomb." Rick replied, looking back at the version of his daughter. Half of her head was shaved and she was in a rather space themed outfit with a blue streak in her hair. Her face turned angry and she pressed a button on her forehead, phasing her right towards Rick and pushing him against his desk. Cas acted quickly, throwing a blast of green energy towards the Beth that was blocked by some force field. The blast ricocheted off the field and back into Cas, making her yelp in pain as she fell back into the washing machine. "Cassie," Rick groaned out in pain before looking up at Beth.

"So does every engineer that's seen it," the Beth snapped.

Rick rose half his brow, tossing a cube at her that put up a field of his own. "Engineer? Princess, I'm sure every caveman that sees a microwave calls it a rock cabinet," Rick said as he pulled Cas up. She held her hands out defensively towards Beth as she tried to phase through the wall Rick created, only to be shot back against ground. "The point of inventing is to make things that don't exist."

Beth tossed a ball towards Rick, making him toss his own, the creatures inside devouring each other.

The wall Rick created fell as Beth pressed a button on her wrist gauntlet before she phased back, pushing Rick against the shelves. Cas used the metal in her body to pull her back to the floor, sending another one in hopes to keep her down. Beth rolled out of the way, lunging for Cas, who quickly sent her against the wall with the flick of her wrist. Beth groaned, reaching towards her wrist gauntlet again, pressing a button that sent a small shock Cas' way. Cas fell to the ground in pain, clutching her stomach and whimpering as Beth pushed Rick against the shelves again. "The whip me up a reason not to kill you both," Beth told Rick, two lasers from her forearm only centimeters from Rick's neck.

"Dad? We're off to Dr. Wong's," the other Beth said from inside the house.

"Scan her," Rick choked out. This Beth hesitated but as he told, pulling up a blue hologram of Beth, the same device in her neck. Cas awkwardly looked towards Rick, pursing her lips as she waiting for his next response.

"Dad?" Beth said through the door.

"Okay, have fun, pumpkin. Sorry I'm a piece of shit father," Rick's voice came from the version of Beth when she pressed against her own throat.
