I genuinely couldn't expect the quality to keep up after the last couple of episodes. And honestly, this episode didn't do much for me.
- I appreciated that Beth finally took a moment of self-reflection and realized she's a monster, but I didn't feel the conversation between her and Rick over their relationship was the central focus, just a byproduct of the throwaway plot.
- Jerry being exactly how I expected him to be is extremely disappointing. I understand that their message is that people aren't going to change from one moment to the other, but an indescribable amount of time could have happened between the Rick and Jerry episode and this. Between a rock and a hard place I can see why the kids ultimately chose Beth. Jerry is manipulative and can't face the music. I'm disappointed in his character more than any other.
- The ambiguous decision by Beth was a nice touch... if they intend to follow this up later. I don't even want to discuss the curve ball they threw with her friendly personality when the kids arrived as the writers can go any way with that.
- As to the preview for the finale

Over-all I leave disappointed but even if the finale is also not something I wanted, I can safely say this is one of the stronger seasons for me.

this isn't necessarily a curve ball. I was hoping for a highly personal finale similar to season 2, but we gotta remember that the season 1 finale was a house party main plot with a titanic b plot. So it could just be as simple as Rick and Morty assisting this univerese's president of the US
