It's time to watch Rick and Morty season 5 episode 7, and if you can tell where they're going you might be as worried as we are. The clues and hints from the preview clip and title suggest that the R&M braintrust is going to get as depraved as ever — if not moreso. Seriously, folks, buckle up.
Episode 7 of Rick and Morty season 5 will broadcast at 11 p.m. ET today (Sunday, August 1).
It's on Cartoon Network's [adult swim] block, and it's titled "Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion."
That's because it appears either Dan Harmon or Justin Roiland watched Neon Genesis Evangelion, the classic anime series. And if they go for it, in the way they always do, this is going to possibly be the most awkward to watch episode ever. And, yes, we're including that thing from earlier this season when Morty accidentally created space semen.
Episode 7, titled "Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion" may look like a simple sendup of the anime world of giant robots, if you've never seen Evangelion. But once you hear the voiceover narration with twangy guitars, you'll realize that they're definitely going to play on the tropes of the series.
But I swear, AdultSwim, if Morty is indeed "the worst" in this episode (and you know what I mean), you're really going to be testing your audience's will to put up with the gross-factor. That said, I know of at least one Rick and Morty fan who's probably super psyched about this already.

Next week, we've got "Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort," which we hope isn't about erasing episode 7 from our memories. Then it's "Forgetting Sarick Mortshall" and finally "Rickmurai Jack" closing out the season.

How can I watch Rick and Morty season 5 online with a VPN?
If you're out of town and Rick and Morty isn't available to watch in your current location, you don't need to be thwarted by geo-fenced restrictions. But, with the help of a virtual private network (VPN), you can watch the new episode live no matter where you are.
Our pick for the best VPN is ExpressVPN. It meets all the VPN needs and is easy to use and delivers fast internet speeds, making it simple to set up for streaming in no time at all. It also works on practically any device, starting with iOS and Android and including streaming devices such as the Amazon Fire TV Stick and Apple TV. Plus, game consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to your website or streaming service of choice and tune in.
