His speech on the roof was top notch.

I don't think there was way Rick was going to get off that roof alive without Donald and without Donald's life experiences. Loved the payoff.

I think that moment also saved donald

Most likely, cause he was planning to have his memories erased again before he got the call from William, right?

His talk with Rick basically let him properly air out his emotions and come to terms with them. And it not only convinced Rick, but himself as well to keep living with his memories from now on, and hopefully deal with his trauma in a healthier way.

Exactly, super beautiful moment. I'm glad that whole thing went somewhere

He's not only a savior to America and the world, but to himself and Rick in that moment. Beautiful payoff to this subplot.

Makes me wonder, since he’s died 39 times, just how many times did Donald rediscover his memories, just to find out he requested them erased, and then agree to erasing them again? He was about to do it again before being called by William.

Judging by Cecil’s reaction, this is the first time.

He seemed to only show Donald because he got worn down, I think if Donald had figured out what was going on several times Cecil would’ve been less shaken by his behaviour.

Call me a nerd but this is what reaction coupling is in chemistry

You're a nerd, that's a cool observation tho

I was so worried for Rick, I didn't want him to Jump and was thankful for Donald's speech.

u/finnjakefionnacake Mar 29 '24

i think he will join the guardians or something

u/TycoStrand Mar 29 '24

I cant wait to see more of him tbh, i'm interested in his story.

u/SaKaly Omni-Man Mar 28 '24

For all the flack people give the somber character moments I think it's been done pretty well this season tbh

u/grizonyourface Mar 29 '24

For real. Donald’s speech to Rick, immortals resignation talk with Cecil, Debbie’s talk with mark, and the breakup all hit really well for me. Hell, even Rex and mark had a wholesome moment.

The previous episode with Amber and Mark mirroring their frustrations hit a lot closer to home than I would've thought. That mutual love isn't enough, but it doesn't mean that it's wasted time

u/Long_Video7840 Mar 29 '24

I don't think Donald would be alive if Rick wasn't on that roof too either.

u/Redditer51 Mar 30 '24

This episode really solidifies the fact that Donald is a good man.

I feel so much for that scene. Things Donald said and Rick sobbing left me in tears.
