In the highly anticipated Rick and Morty Season 7, the dynamic duo returns with mind-bending escapades across the multiverse. As they face cosmic challenges, sarcastic genius Rick and his anxious grandson Morty navigate existential crises, interdimensional chaos, and hilarious sci-fi adventures that push their bond to the limit.
One of the major mysteries of the show is what happened to Rick’s wife, Diane Sanchez. A Redditor recently came up with a theory as to what might have happened to Diane. Read on to find out more.
Possible theory about Diane in Rick and Morty season 7
In the TV show Rick and Morty, Rick’s wife is referred to as Diane. She is the mother of Beth (Rick’s daughter) and the former wife of Rick. Her precise fate is unclear and has not been shown directly in the series. The episode “Rick Potion #9” mentions that Rick left Diane and Beth when they were young due to issues with his interdimensional travels.
Her absence is further explored in the episode “The Rickshank Rickdemption,” where it is briefly mentioned that Beth’s mother died in a “dismal alternate reality.” However, the specific details surrounding her death or the circumstances leading up to it have not been explicitly depicted on the show.
A Redditor tried to explain the theory about what might have happened to Diane.
This theory suggests that Rick, driven by love and guilt, creates a time-travelling device or finds a way to manipulate time using his scientific knowledge. Understandably devastated by his wife’s death, he becomes desperate to change the course of events. However, due to the complexity and delicate nature of time travel, his actions lead to unintended consequences, resulting in her complete erasure from the fabric of the multiverse. This theory could possibly be explored in Rick and Morty season 7.
Many Redditors added to the theory; a user by the name of u/DaveinOakland commented, “My headcannon just has the temporal scrotum head police monitoring that moment in time. There are probably certain inflexion points in time that are obvious breach points for people trying to “mess with time”. In the invention of fire by Hitler, Rick Sanchez became “the infinite Rick”. Essentially, they have it on lockdown, and Rick doesn’t have the ability to actually fight them on it.”
Another Redditor, u/IvanTheTerrible69, added to the theory by stating, “Didn’t the Central Finite Curve ensure every Rick took up portal travel and abandoned his family? With this in mind, almost every Diane is dead; every Beth is approximately 34, and Diane is long dead at this point. My only theory is that the only Diane that might be left is from Doofus Rick’s reality; she never married Rick, so her life took a different turn. Maybe she married someone else and had a different family, but I could see her being a blind spot to Rick’s obsession with enlightening or eliminating other versions of himself.”
The consequences of Rick’s actions in his quest to save his wife could explain his current cynical and reckless behaviour. Consumed by guilt and remorse for his failed attempts, he may have adopted a nihilistic and self-destructive outlook on life. This could provide an underlying motivation for his chaotic and sometimes callous actions throughout the series. There is a possibility that all this could be explored in the upcoming Rick and Morty season 7.
