RICK and Morty fans have rejoiced after the season five premiere finally started to answer one of its biggest mysteries.
The cartoon comedy returned on Sunday night on Adult Swim, with new episodes eventually dropping onto Hulu, Netflix and HBO.
Called ‘Mort Dinner Rick Andre’, the first episode of season five saw Morty accidentally summon his grandfather’s nemesis, Mr Nimbus.
Meanwhile Rick comes face-to-face with his greatest enemy, who mentions Rick’s late wife, Diane.
Diane – who is supposedly the mother of Rick’s daughter Beth – has never been seen on screen and has only been mentioned by name on a few occasions.
Nimbus told Rick he needed him around to show how far he has come and added: “If Diane were alive today, what would she think?”
Rick then issued a typically meta reply, saying: “Don’t try and establish canonical backstory with me.”
Despite this, fans believe they are closer than ever to finding out what the deal really is with Diane.
A Reddit user wrote: “Mr. Nimbus obviously has known Rick for a while, saying Rick is a shell of his former self, and even name-dropping his wife, who we now know as Diane.
“I get that this show is a comedy first and foremost, but those little details show that there’s still a lot of lore and depth to the characters that has yet to be seen.”
Meanwhile another viewer wrote: “Wow, name-dropping his wife? That was a surprise, wasn’t expecting that.”
A third joked: “I loved the way they kept teasing backstory exposition, Nimbus totally had ex lover energy.”
Rick and Morty season five airs Sundays on Adult Swim with episodes to follow on Netflix, Hulu and HBO.
