Summary
When theRick and Mortyseason 7 stopping point brought back Rick ’s wife , Diane Sanchez , the show did a majuscule job of wee-wee up for her earlier depictions in the serial . Rick and Mortydoesn’t have a peachy history with the character . While Rick ’s girl , Beth , and her clone , Space Beth , have both been the subject of numerous episodes that fleshed out their vivid internal lifetime , Diane mainly exists to furnish Rick with a tragic backstory . Viewers know next to nothing about her beyond the fact that she was once married to Rick , she was Beth ’s female parent , and she was kill in every edition of reality by Rick Prime .
While the suddendeath of Rick Primecould have seenRick and Mortyseason 7 follow Rick ’s attempt to bring Diane back , the series instead focused on a serial of lighter , standalone stories after this canyon - shaking event . As such , viewers endure into time of year 7 , sequence 10 , “ dread No Mort , ” without much understanding of the eccentric , as Diane ’s personality , posture , hope , dreams , and views were never explored . “ Fear No Mort ” change that by reach her a major function , although the episode ’s stop complicated this cocksure maturation .

Rick & Morty Season 7, Episode 10 Makes Diane A More Rounded Character After A Decade
In “ Fear No Mort , ” Rick and Morty meet Diane shortly after they emerge from The Hole , a psychic space that offer a pretence of the substance abuser ’s worst veneration and allows them to defeat this phobia in a safe surroundings . Diane finally got more than one assembly line of dialoguewhen she and Rick were reunited , and her contentious relationship with her husband soon proved she was more than a one - dimensional supportive love interest . WhileRick and Mortyseason 7 sequence 9 call in out Rick ’s hubris , it was still surprising to see Diane knock Rick ’s character flaw to his face before warming to him .
Since any earlier mentions of Diane issue forth via flashbacks , watcher never got to live her as more than Rick ’s idealize reminiscence of his late cooperator . Her limited earlier screenland clip implied she was a wife and female parent but little else , whereas “ Fear No Mort ” proved she was an well-informed , voiceless - boozing , adventuresome character who could keep up with Rick in every regard . This was a act surprise , but the episode ’s ending did elaborate thing when it turned out the Diane who viewing audience were watching was n’t really her . Technically , it was only a pretence of Diane that Rick guess , and even the version of Rick envisage her was imagine by Morty .
Diane’s Return In Rick & Morty Season 7 Still Complicates Her Redemptive Role
It ’s hard to know how the literal Diane acted since viewers have still only seen mediated characterization of her . However , sinceseason 7 have an entire instalment without Rickand killed off Rick Prime , there is no reason to conceive that season 8 wo n’t have elbow room to research her character further . Season 7 toyed with the show ’s common pattern throughout , with the season premiere and installment 3 , “ Air Force Wong , ” scarcely featuring Morty . Now that the Rick Prime subplot has ended , there is no reason forRick and Mortyseason 8 not to pick up where the finale left off and grant Diane a great , better role .
