The story begins with a typical argument where Jerry accuses Rick of having "brain privilege," claiming Rick was simply "born smart". To prove him wrong, Rick uses a device to swap their consciousnesses. The experiment immediately goes off the rails: Rick (in Jerry's body) suffers a breakdown from the low-processing power of Jerry's brain and takes his own life, while Jerry (in Rick's body) accidentally kills himself with Rick's built-in gadgets. Rick’s garage AI is forced to rebuild them using scrambled pieces of both their brains, creating two hybrids—"Rickbody" and "Jerrybody"—who must eventually fuse into a singular, zen-like entity named to save Morty from a space-mafia.
