Spoilers Ahead for Rick and Morty Season 7 Episode 7: "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer"
Rick assigns Summer to do his chores that involve cleaning his car, which is covered with the remains of giant creatures, dealing with cursed amulets and cleaning the memory chamber seen in the previous episode. Summers asks Rick for the payment, which Rick refuses as he has already provided her with a ponytail upgrade and Ghost Goggles. Instead, Rick gives her an attribute slider by which she can change any of her attributes, such as strength, Charisma, dexterity and Intelligence.
Summer uses the slider to impress her classmates and the Frolf team. Summer uses her Intelligence to create a chain reaction that impresses Jimmy and Brad. She increases her muscle mass and shows off her strength, but soon, she switches to boosting her Charisma and manipulating her social skills. Morty, who wants to slider for himself, snatches it from Summer, not before making her intelligence too high smart and making himself buff with muscles. They start to fight with each other and fall into the pool, where the slider malfunctions, and they emerge as one being with Morty attached to Summer's stomach like "Kuato" from Total Recall movie.
Summer seeks Rick's help, but he refuses to reverse the effects unless she does chores for him. However, Summer learns about a nightclub organized by Kenneth that is exclusively for Kuatos holders like her. She attends the club to locate a solution to her problem, but Kenneth turns out to be running a Kuato trafficking ring and steals Morty.
Summer and Rick reunite and use Summer's Kuato psychic connection to locate Morty on Kenneth's yacht. They rescue Morty after a brief battle, during which Rick throws Kenneth overboard to drown. As a reward for his bravery, Rick gifts Kenneth's robot walker to Morty. Later, Morty uses the walker to win his school's Frolf tournament, allowing Summer to earn her classmates' respect again.
End Credits: In a parody of "Squid Game", the wealthy buyer who purchased Morty still waits for Kenneth to deliver him. He jokes about renaming Morty "69" because he paid 69 million florbos, and his friends join in on the joke, making several more references to the number.
