sacrifice.

Rick Sanchez is shown in a series of disconnected scenes: sitting with his family in a desolate yard, eating spaghetti with Beth at a dinner table, sitting alone in a dim cave, standing in the doorway of a desert settlement as insect-like creatures attack, being escorted by robotic guards, and finally standing restrained in a green and red chamber. The scenes depict a sequence of emotional and physical distress, from familial tension to imprisonment.
