Following the success of the first episode, 'Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate' brings a brand-new selection of alternative realities and characters to enjoy. Rick and Morty season 2 saw the episode 'Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate', the second episode to focus on interdimensional cable. The subplot was brought back once again in season 2, but it's unknown whether Rick and Morty will do another interdimensional cable episode. Not only does this episode work well because of its individual, improvised scenes, but it also shines a light on Beth and Jerry's relationship, and how, even if Rick doesn't agree, their paths were always destined to cross. 'Rixty Minutes' shows the unlimited number of possibilities in the Rick and Morty universe: a world where people live with ants in their eyeballs, Gazorpazorpfield – an alien version of Garfield, and even Jerry as a movie star.

Bored with what's on TV, Rick installs a new television system, accessing channels from across infinite universes. 'Rixty Minutes' is the first time interdimensional cable is introduced.

The episode then follows the lives of the various Ricks and Mortys who live in the Citadel, showing the fully developed society of the same two people across the universes. Rick refuses to donate, pointing out he was the one to destroy it. Rick and Morty season 3's 'The Ricklantis Mixup' sees Rick and Morty cross paths with volunteers looking for donations to rebuild the Citadel of Rick's.

By the end of the episode, it's still not exactly known who the real Smiths are, and the story is wrapped up without really solving the problem: the final scene shows a Rick announcing the death of yet another decoy family.
