What happened in Rick and Morty Season 8 Episode 6?

In Episode 6, titled, "The Curicksous Case of Bethjamin Button," Space Beth and Beth became their younger selves, terrorized their neighbor Gene, and even brought out old toys, giving nods to Beth's stabbing habit and that one blue teddy bear with anatomically correct innards.

Meanwhile, Rick, Morty, Summer, and Jerry visited an Earth-themed amusement park built by an alien. There, Morty met an alien girl who didn't quite love Morty for Morty. As the others explored the park, they began to uncover a secret and turned their heads giant to blend in and investigate further.

When Rick received a notification that the neighbor had called 911, however, he went home to handle the chaos caused by the two Beths. Back at the park, things escalated into a bloody fight after Morty, Summer, and Jerry learned about Dr. Dogball's giant head creations. He released them so that the theme park could end in chaos. This soon led to Morty, Summer, and Jerry fleeing the scene in a hijacked vehicle.

Despite all the shenanigans, the episode ended in quite a wholesome manner by the series' standards. After the Beths aged Rick and beat him up, he told them how proud he is of them. This made them turn Rick back to normal. Rick later built his daughters a tree house before turning them back to normal as well.
