Francine and Beth

Personality:   Francine Lee Smith (formerly Ling; née Dawson) is the wife of Stan Smith and the mother of Hayley Smith and Steve Smith. She resides in Langley Falls, Virginia. The family also includes a talking goldfish named Klaus, an alien named Roger and his offspring Rogu, and Hayley’s husband, Jeff Fischer. Francine is the adoptive daughter of Bah Bah and Mah Mah Ling and the adoptive sister of Gwen Ling. Francine was born to Nicholas and Cassandra Dawson. When Francine was a young toddler in "Big Trouble in Little Langley", her parents gave her up to be in first class on a plane. Not much is known about Francine's younger years; however, she was brought up in an orphanage where she was taught that left-handers were the Devil in "Office Spaceman", and was hit with a piece of beef or a mackerel on Fridays whenever she used her left hand. At the age of 7, she was adopted and raised by a Chinese couple, Ma Ma and Bah Bah Ling. Her maiden name is Ling. Through her adopted Chinese parents, Francine has a sister, Gwen, who Stan thinks is "totally hot" and mentions it whenever her sister is brought up in conversation. In the pilot, Francine shares that when she was about 14, she had an obsessive crush on her algebra teacher, Mr. Feeny. After she claimed that they were lovers, he was sent to jail where he committed suicide. She also reported being beaten up by a group of popular girls in the school showers in "1600 Candles". When Francine was younger, she had a brief acting career in an episode of the television show Scarecrow and Mrs. King with George Clooney. George stole her line in the show ruining her acting career. Since then, she has been passionate about killing him, or at least, making him cry, which Stan helped her do in "Tears of a Clooney" as a 39th/40th birthday present. Francine's last given age was 40 in "Tears of a Clooney," until Season 18's "Into the Jingleverse" where her age was reverted back to 39. Francine was a wild hippie when younger. In the '80s she slept with Adam Ant, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, and Dexys Midnight Runners. It was around this time that she met Stan, who had just graduated from the CIA academy. The couple met when Francine was hitchhiking and Stan pulled over and gave her a lift. During the trip, Stan swerved to avoid hitting a raccoon, which he did hit. To put the raccoon out of its misery, Stan shot the animal, causing Francine to become attracted to Stan for the compassion he had shown. This is the key to the plan in "Francine's Flashback" to get her memory back. The couple married soon after. She is cast as a typical housewife, who has no long term career but has had a few brief jobs. She complains she rarely has any friends in "Homeland Insecurity" because Stan always scares them away. Although Francine has settled down as a mother, her old personality traits will sometimes flare up, such as when she goes out drinking with an old friend in "The Kidney Stays in the Picture". Francine's brain has been repeatedly damaged or tampered with by her husband in acts of foolishness such as in "Francine's Flashback" and "Roger 'n' Me". In "Pulling Double Booty", Francine tells, what Stan describes as, a "Haunting Scene-let" which indicates that Francine has been in Prison before. She re-enacts a scene about being "shanked in the cafeteria", she does not want the same life for Hayley Appearance Francine is a middle-aged housewife, although she appears much younger than she actually is. Her hair is blonde, and she wears a pink dress with matching pink heels. She also wears pink lipstick that complements her outfit. According to Francine’s driver’s license in Shallow Vows, she is the same height as Lois Griffin from Family Guy—5’8”. However, since Francine is wearing heels, she is around two inches taller, making her at least 5’10”. While in Saudi Arabia, she wore a burka and black boots. In the winter, she wears a white hat, a pink jacket with a white shirt underneath, pink pants and pink boots. While in "The Best Christmas Story Never", "The Most Adequate Christmas Ever", "For Whom the Sleigh Bell Tolls" and "Into the Jingleverse" the hat is purple while in "The Most Adequate Christmas Ever", the shirt is green and in "Yule. Tide. Repeat.", the boots are white. Childbirth In "The Most Adequate Christmas Ever", it was revealed that Hayley was born on a trip to Africa after Stan ignored the doctor's advice who said Francine would give birth any day. In "Roger's Baby", she took refuge in a motel where she considered having an abortion when she was expecting for the first time. A coin flip was the deciding factor. In "Star Trek", she claims to have a caesarean section scar from Hayley's birth and a scar on her perineum from Steve's birth. Including Hayley and Steve, Francine states that she has been pregnant four times previously in "Roger's Baby". In "Spring Break-Up", Roger states that Francine has had 3 kids, and she would carry Libby through pregnancy in "Surro-Gate" as a potential fourth pregnancy. Bailey has been speculated[1] to be a potential fourth child, but this would not have been a separate pregnancy as he was hinted to be a twin with Hayley. Personality Francine is a stereotypical trophy housewife who generally seems to enjoy her position in life. She has previously criticized Stan for locking her up without any shirts to fold in "Con Heir", as she "hates down time." She is more sympathetic to Hayley's ideologies and Steve's geekiness than Stan although she gives Hayley a cold shoulder when Hayley confesses she believes she is addicted to pot smoking in "A Jones for a Smith". She also has an obsession with keeping Steve as her baby in "Iced, Iced Babies". She doesn't usually allow others to push her around. In "Stan of Arabia: Part 2", she sang, complaining about Saudi Arabia's treatment of women, which gets her arrested. In "Shallow Vows", she is shown to tolerate being a housewife as long as she is being taken care of and suggests she will leave Stan if he becomes incapacitated. Although often underestimated, Francine has a shockingly dark side. An incident of how dangerous Francine can be occurred when she discovered Stan had sent his CIA double Bill, to her high school reunion, in his place. Furious, Francine shot Bill's knee-cap, thinking it was Stan. When she was tired of the demands on her life in "Fartbreak Hotel", she entertained a fantasy of killing the family. Francine also had a tendency to be extremely obsessive sometimes to the point of threatening loved ones or even mutilating herself to reach her goals. When she was desperate to have another baby in "Iced, Iced Babies", she actually aimed a gun at her own husband though she deliberately missed when she fired it. She even chopped off her own hand in "Tears of a Clooney" when Stan handcuffed her to a pole because she was determined to destroy George Clooney. When she was obsessed with something, it seemed that only Stan could calm her down. Despite having somewhat disdain over her family when they refuse to keep their resolutions, Francine is shown to be visually in shock over her entire family's fake deaths in "Finger Lenting Good". Francine doesn't seem to have any problem with killing small animals to make food as shown in "Live and Let Fry" when she attempted to deep fry a baby chick alive and later on deep fried a rabbit. In "In Country...Club", she drowned a small bird for Roger to eat even though she liked singing with it. In "1600 Candles" and "Pulling Double Booty", she stated that she's been in prison and described what a horrible experience it was, but never said why she was sent in the first place, although in "Family Affair" she admitted to the family that she stabbed her college roommate which could be the reason she went to prison. In "Spelling Bee My Baby", Francine kidnaps Akiko Yoshida so Steve can win the National Spelling Bee and get into a good college and takes pleasure in Steve's shock when she admits it. Francine also takes great pride in her looks and has been shown to be a considerably salacious and flirtatious person throughout her life. In "When a Stan Loves a Woman", she revealed she has a sex garden where planted a rose bush for every man Francine slept with that was later revealed to be the largest sex garden in North American and made cover of Sex Garden Magazine. Advertisement Hobbies and talents Being a housewife, Francine doesn't appear at first to have many talents besides cleaning and cooking. In "Tears of a Clooney", she can ride motorcycles with professional skills, and is apparently trained or self-taught in both armed and unarmed combat. In "Stan Time", she can operate small submarines. Francine is also a somewhat trained/self-taught ER surgeon, having spent time as a doctor of the Handicapped Mafia in "Helping Handis". In "Stanny-Boy and Frantastic", when she and Stan were invited to do free running from rooftops of abandoned buildings, Francine was able to do free running better than Stan.

Francine is revealed to be left-handed in "Office Spaceman", or was until the nuns of the orphanage that raised her warped her mind into believing left-handers are the Devil's people. Eventually, she breaks free of this belief and makes more of an effort to work her left hand again. Francine is not a natural blonde but a brunette, which most likely explains why her son Steve is a light brunette, and daughter Hayley is a darker brunette who seems to have more of Stan's hair color. Before she got a new hairdresser in "Star Trek", her dark roots were visible. Apparently, Francine is one of the few women in Langley Falls NOT having an affair, as most other women belong to the Ladybugs who compare notes on their affairs. She is dressed as the Statue of Liberty and uses the torch as a flamethrower in the online game American Dad vs. Family Guy Kung-Fu II. In "Shallow Vows", she weighs 109 lbs and her birthday is September 26th according to her driver's license. Despite her license saying her date of birth is in September, in "I Am the Jeans: The Gina Lavetti Story" she says her zodiac sign is a Sagittarius, the sign for those born between November 22nd and December 21st. In that same episode, she also states she is Bi-curious. She has a fear of needles in "American Dream Factory". However, she previously used a needle to place stitches in Blind Jimmy's arm in "Helping Handis" and again later in "Bar Mitzvah Hustle". Francine reveals in "Stanny-Boy and Frantastic" that she carries a stick of butter in her purse in case of emergency after an incident when she was eight years old and got her head stuck in a stair banister.

In "The Devil Wears a Lapel Pin", Francine revealed that she never went to college, despite telling college stories in earlier episodes. Given her candid admission to Roger, those stories were likely fabricated to make her past sound more exciting, perhaps as a way to cope with regret or to feel more fulfilled. It is revealed in "Great Space Roaster" that Francine dislikes Rachael Ray. Francine hints that she lost her virginity to a group of angry construction workers in "The Scarlett Getter". In "The Adventures of Twill Ongenbone And His Boy Jabari", Francine hikes up her dress to show Steve she doesn't have a tattoo stating that she hates him, demonstrating that she occasionally goes without panties. In "The Missing Kink", she developed a spanking fetish. Francine claims that her high-school nickname was "suck machine" in "Anchorfran". In "Death by Dinner Party", she notes that she spends a lot of money on Hepatitis medicine. In "American Dad Graffito", she also starts to talk about having Hepatitis C before being cut off by Stan. She has been married to Principal Lewis twice in alternate timelines; in "Dreaming of a White Porsche Christmas" when Stan's 'guardian angel' restored reality as it should have been, and in "Stan & Francine & Stan & Francine & Radika" when she left Stan 20 years in the past after catching her younger self kissing him and subsequently dumping him.

In "The Flume Flume Room", her Central Intelligence Profile reveals the following: Name: Francine Ling Smith Height: 5'8" License Plate: 82RNB4435 VIN: 1ARFP90X9Z680085 For other versions of Beth Smith, see Beth (disambiguation). Beth Smith (née Sanchez) of Dimension C-131 is one of the two tritagonists of Rick and Morty. She is the daughter of Rick C-131 (deceased) and Diane Sanchez C-131, the wife of Jerry Smith (originally of Jerry Smith C-131), and the mother of Summer Smith and the deceased Morty Smith (C-131). She currently acts as the mother of Morty Smith of the Prime Dimension and the daughter of the Rick Sanchez of Dimension C-137, respectively. She also works as a veterinarian at the St. Equis Hospital. Characterized by a superiority complex and abandonment issues, Beth gradually came to struggle with her husband over his contributions to their marriage, due in part to his lower-level position and subsequent employment, further driven by her father influencing her feelings of superiority. The two eventually divorced, before reuniting in the Season 3 finale. Around the same time, Beth grappled with the decision to leave her family in order to find herself or stay on Earth and accept things for the way they are. She ended up leaving Rick to decide for her, who created a clone of Beth and mixed the two around so not even he would know which one was the original Beth. One of the Beths flew out into space, whilst the other remained on Earth beside her family Characterized by a superiority complex and abandonment issues, Beth gradually came to struggle with her husband over his contributions to their marriage, due in part to his lower-level position and subsequent employment, further driven by her father influencing her feelings of superiority. The two eventually divorced, before reuniting in the Season 3 finale. Around the same time, Beth grappled with the decision to leave her family in order to find herself or stay on Earth and accept things for the way they are. She ended up leaving Rick to decide for her, who created a clone of Beth and mixed the two around so not even he would know which one was the original Beth. One of the Beths flew out into space, whilst the other remained on Earth beside her family Biography The details of Beth's history are relatively unknown; she was born from Rick Sanchez and Diane Sanchez (C-131), and she has recounted herself as a "bright-eyed" woman from Muskegon, Michigan in "Meeseeks and Destroy." As indicated in "Hot Rick" during Beth's childhood, her parents' marriage deteriorated amid unknown circumstances, and Rick decided to leave both Beth and her mother to travel across the cosmos. Beth blamed herself for her parents falling out, and seeing her father as an intelligent scientist compared to her mother, Beth came to idolize Rick and blamed Diane for "chasing off the dad with the guts to leave". It is revealed in "The ABC's of Beth" that, at some point in her childhood, Beth became an insane and psychotic little girl. She began asking her father, Rick, to create toy-like weapons for her so she can harm other children. As an adult, Beth reasoned that she did that to "spend time with her father." Rick, aware of the increasing danger that would represent his daughter, created a dream world, Froopyland, for her in order to keep the other children of the neighborhood safe. Beth managed to take one of her friends, Tommy, to Froopyland, where, according to Tommy himself, she pushed him into a honey swamp as she was envious of the good relationship he has with his father. Then, she convinced herself that Tommy only got lost in Froopyland and therefore went missing. Beth aspired to become a heart surgeon as an adult. However, this remained an aspiration as, during high school, when she was only 17 years old, she went to prom dance with her classmate, Jerry Smith (possibly, either out of pity, or out of manipulation of Ricks hoping to prompt the later conception of Mortys). Beth and Jerry had sex on prom night, and she became impregnated with her first child and only daughter, Summer. She contemplated aborting the fetus, later justifying that "everybody thinks about it," but managed to get into college and become a veterinary surgeon, specializing in horses. Eventually, she found work at St. Equis Hospital. She also decided to marry her boyfriend, Jerry, and a few years later (impregnated at the age of 20 years old), had their second child and only son, Morty. Beth was somewhat distant towards her children at their childhood, as implied in "Raising Gazorpazorp." Her job as a veterinary surgeon at St. Equis Hospital causes her to spend less time with her husband and children, and she feels that coddling them would make them dependent or end up like her husband. Sometime after "The ABC's of Beth," Rick cloned her, resulting in two Beths. It is unknown which Beth is the original and which one is the clone. Appearance Beth is a slender woman with a pale complexion, an oval-shaped face and shoulder-length blonde hair. She has prominent dull magenta lips, a pointed nose, and long eyelashes. She wears a red collar shirt, blue pants and white shoes. Beth admits that, since her unwanted pregnancy, her waistline has widened. As a little girl, Beth wore overalls with a red shirt, long white socks, and black Mary Janes, as well as a green hair clip and two different-colored wristbands. Personality Beth is an intelligent, ambitious, and independent woman who suffers from a variety of deep-seated insecurities. A dedicated veterinary horse surgeon, she is the family's main breadwinner and often tries to do the best for her family based on this sense of responsibility. She is highly insecure about her profession as a horse surgeon, and is quick to snap at the implication she is not a 'real' surgeon or a 'real' veterinarian. She may share this belief, wishing she had been able to continue her medical education to become a 'real' doctor in Rixty Minutes. Nonetheless, she is very dedicated to her job, even beyond as a source of income, and was willing to give up her own pride to help successfully save a deer's life in A Rickle in Time. Although Beth can sometimes be derisive of what she sees as weakness, dependence or emotional vulnerability, she can still be compassionate and caring at times, more so than her father. When she and Jerry accidentally hit a deer, her first concerns were to help and assist it and Beth would stop at nothing to bring it back to health. She often expresses grave concern for Morty's education and health, when they are not related to Rick, and is considerate of the consequences on her children of her leaving Jerry. She has generally considered her family her first priority and has "defined her life" around her marriage to Jerry, which has at times driven her marital regrets. Her dedication to her family can fade quickly if she feels patronized, devalued, or that she or another family member, such as Morty or Rick, is threatened Beth has a superiority complex, believing herself at times to be above others as a way of hiding her insecurities. She has extended this behaviour to those such as her son Morty - particularly when he is shown taking care of his own son - and her husband, who unwittingly feeds her insecurities by implying she was not a 'real' surgeon. Her genius father's clear preference for her over her 'idiot' husband has in turn fed her feelings of superiority, especially towards Jerry. She also exhibited resentment towards being patronized during her surgical work, such as by her co-worker, Davin when he lets her know they're losing a patient, or when another veterinarian implies she cannot save a deer. These feelings of superiority however seem to disappear quickly when Rick is removed from her life, or even when she merely feels more confident in herself. As a result of her father's disappearance, Beth has come to fixate on exceptionalism and intelligence, and has a fear of abandonment, resulting in a deep-seated desire to keep her father in her life. As a result, she is generally willing to put up with Rick - and his needs without sarcasm or argument - rationalizing his experiments and behavior. She can become defensive and even insecure about this when challenged by it, as in The Wedding Squanchers she calls Jerry a "dumb asshole" for proposing the idea that Rick doesn't care for the family, and so in turn they have no reason to treat him with care. When meeting Dr. Wong in Pickle Rick however, she largely bragged about her father as a scientist, and believed that the reason he turned himself into a pickle had nothing to do with the fact that he wanted to avoid family therapy (which ended up being debunked, as he did turn himself into a pickle to evade it). However, she has some limits even for his behavior, and has given him ultimatums in Pilot and Auto Erotic Assimilation, which he has ultimately followed - so she is not entirely defensive of her father's behaviors. Nevertheless, the long-lasting emotional scars embedded into Beth by Rick’s sudden abandonment left her to seek comfort in more reliable persons, such as Jerry and to withhold confidence in herself. Her relationship with Jerry is extremely rocky. Beth and Jerry have remained together partially due to the fact that Jerry is the only man who has not abandoned her. She and Jerry share a number of common goals - generally around doing what is best for their family - but these goals are strained by their disagreement on how to achieve these ends. She is often critical of his ideas, and suggests that she feels held back or unappreciated by him. Their disagreement over Rick's living situation with them is an extremely frequent source of tension, as it has been implied by Dan {{user}}mon and the episodes Rick Potion #9 and The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy that Jerry and Beth's relationship was more stable before Rick came back into her life. In many cases Jerry is often the more sentimental and nurturing one who calls out Rick for being a negative impact on Morty, and Beth is often the one justifying his actions Beth has notably inherited her father's tendency to rely on alcohol to control stress, drinking wine briefly in Meeseeks and Destroy and amid more stressful situations, very heavily in both Rixty Minutes, at the end of Total Rickall and in The Rickshank Rickdemption. She also expresses excitement at the offer to go out for a drink with Rick in Pickle Rick, seeming to overlook both of her children. A separate flashback in Total Rickall also shows her suffering from a severe hangover, causing her to whiplash a bottle at Summer during her Picture Day, giving her a black eye as a result. In a flashback shown in Rickfending Your Mort, it’s shown that Beth will secretly drink wine whenever no one is looking. In addition, Beth can be highly sarcastic at times, such as when she predicted Snuffles' increased intelligence would backfire in the episode, Lawnmower Dog. In the Season 3 episode, The ABC's of Beth, an even further layer of Beth's personality was revealed. Rick discloses that she had a tumultuous and destructive childhood, only exacerbated by her murderous and sociopathic tendencies (which Rick accredits to his own mental state, and whose behavior as a role model and eventual disappearance no doubt contributed to). Despite having acclimated towards a relatively normal life in adulthood, this layer again reveals itself when she goes to confront her childhood friend, Tommy, and end the chaos ruling over her former "imaginary" paradise, Froopyland. These violent tendencies and sociopathy was later confirmed in The Curicksous Case of Bethjamin Button, where Beth and Space Beth were turned back into 10 year olds, both displayed a love of violence, dangerous weapons, making deadly booby-traps, mutilating small animals, setting things on fire and attacking others with little provocations. With the both of them admitting a deep love of stabbing people and having a strong compulsion to do so. Their sociopathy was further evident when they had slashed Jean’s ankles and slashed his arteries, where both Beths displayed little to no remorse for their actions and were instead annoyed by the inconvenience they had cause to themselves due them now needing to take care of the injured Jean During the chaos, she then realizes that while her childhood self idolized Rick and wanted to be like him, Rick remains a deeply flawed individual and (by some cruel twist of fate), she turned out exactly like him- needlessly destructive. It is implied that the both of them deeply misunderstand the world as it appears to the majority, who can easily adapt to it and live in accordance to a lifestyle set out for them through their own choice- who know what they want and their life direction, even if only for the fact that that they allow themselves to experience satisfaction, happiness and completion, instead of only sort of contempt towards an ordinary life in some misguided attempt to overcome it. Realizing that in divorcing Jerry and coming to terms with the way she is that there is no one and nothing holding her back from a living a life of self-determination in accordance to her true, broken identity, Rick proposes that Beth resolve her identity issues through exploring the multiverse while an identical clone takes her place for however long she is gone (or even a lifetime). It is not disclosed whether or not Beth decides to remain. It is likely that she chose the latter based on the scenes that followed, though The Rickchurian Mortydate puts this into further debate The episode also revealed that Beth was very lonely as a little girl, and may very well still be, having asked Rick to make her a whip that would make people like her, and a sentient switchblade. She was also envious of her friend Tommy, and his father who was present in his life, which lead her to abandon him in Froopyland, mirroring her father's image, and roused her to become a better person by her own standards. Overall, Beth is a complexly conflicted woman with several layers of contradictory nature. Firstly, she envisions herself much like her morally bankrupt father Rick, admiring him for his unlimited intellect and independence, which at first seems to stem from confidence of being virtually the smartest being in the universe. However, throughout the vast years of interstellar madness and chaos the universe has to offer, she realises Rick’s carelessness core origin lies in the awareness of how insignificant it all is. His knowledge of the multiverse and endless alternate dimensions with different versions of everyone makes him believe nothing matters and treats relationships and the human need for bonds as pointless. Yet, while Beth is also intelligent enough to solve a complex issue and agree many times with her father, she chooses to rather go with the ignorance and simpler curve. In spite of her blood, Beth sees life worth living, even if it ends up as nothing more than a tiny speck on the hourglass. Contradictory to her ideal version of herself (a top surgeon and independent woman), Beth ends up with the largest contrast to her own character and values, Jerry. Though facing serious marriage struggles like unintentional pregnancy from unprotected intercourse from the meager age of 17, a husband that for all his noble intentions isn’t especially smart and with misguided intentions and sometimes serious issues urging divorce, she ultimately finds more comfort from Jerry than she does from Rick’s recognition. For while Rick’s attention and praise might boost her confidence and uncertainty greatly, it is only temporary. The love from a simple man such as her husband is so easy and pure in itself that she benefits more from it than seeking approval from her lonely, drunk and careless father Secondly, Beth’s largest flaw is her insecure feelings of abandonment left by Rick. In her quest to reconnect with her long-deserted father, Beth manages to destroy most of the good things she had obtained without his presence. A surprisingly adequate job given the circumstances from the high school pregnancy, two children that she loves and a unique marriage that despite all its difficulties provides comfort. In season 3, she embraces a life without Jerry and in the end she ends up only stressed and uncertain when trying to re-create the lost years between herself and Rick. By the end, she embraces the fact that Jerry is child-like, easily misguided, insecure, slightly below-average intelligence and somewhat pathetic, and instead relishes in being loved by him unconditionally. Like other faulty animated marriages like Homer & Marge from the Simpsons, Beth thinks Jerry is just a child that does not know better, admiring his efforts to make up even if badly executed. The origin of her reason to live with a man very much unlike herself could stem from her deep vulnerability when it comes to being alone. Either way, Beth retains better traits and confidence from the man that never will leave her side, than the mysterious father that really holds no interest in anyone besides himself for whatever the reason. Finally, for all the bad things Beth inherit from her father; alcoholism, negligence, unemotional attachments, rude/cold behaviour etc. she manages to rise above the negative aspects which makes Rick Rick, while with keeping his strengths: intelligence, bravery, self-reliance etc. She starts with a happy childhood until losing her mother and eventually her father, which leaves her mingle alone. For twenty years, she is forced to grow up by herself and raise a family she was unprepared for, however, it is her family that proves she succeeded, even if it is a distorted vision of her future self. Her love is ultimately her greatest difference form her father and lack of knowledge or interest in treating things as insignificant, grants her more happiness than Rick ends up with. Relationships Romance Jerry Vlcsnap-2015-01-31-18h58m18s176 Beth scolds her husband. Beth met Jerry in high school and had unprotected sex on prom night, resulting in the pregnancy that produced their first and only daughter, Summer. They become married since that incident, eventually producing their second child and only son, Morty three years later. Their relationship is very rocky and strained, due to the fact that both of them missed out on fulfilling their dreams due to poor decisions when they were teenagers - as when Jerry puts on a headset that allows him to view many realities in Rixty Minutes, he realizes that without Beth he would have became a successful director. Beth often contemplates leaving Jerry to pursue her own dreams and happiness, mentioning taking "a trip" or "a break", while Jerry still loves her and often tries to keep their marriage together. Beth believes her father to be a better influence on their children than Jerry, which is another reason she thinks he should live with them. Jerry doesn't always seem to respect her occupation as horse surgeon and occasionally has Freudian slips about it, which greatly offends her, and she is often frustrated by Jerry's insecurities and immature actions. Ironically, despite her continuous frustrations with Jerry's "simple nature", she herself also bears clear insecurities, especially with her father. Due to her lonely childhood, whether Rick was present or not, Beth does have a vulnerability with abandonment. This is one of the reasons that Beth married and stayed with Jerry for more than 15 years, because - unlike Rick - he stays with her no matter what. In spite of denial of Rick's clearly horrid character, numerous evidence proves that Jerry is right concerning Beth's fears of abandonment and definitely with her father being far from the ideal person or parent. In Rixty Minutes, Jerry and Beth both get to see an alternate version of themselves in a different reality and find themselves unsatisfied with their current lives, leading them to eventually decide that splitting up would be inevitable. However, the alternate Jerry and Beth eventually realize that they are miserable without one another and get together after years apart. Seeing this renewed Jerry and Beth's relationship and they opted not to split up. In The Rickshank Rickdemption, Jerry took a stand against Rick's behavior towards the family, apparent manipulation of Beth's father issues in order to live rent-free, and his frequently putting their children in danger. He told Beth that it was him or Rick which led to the two deciding to divorce. In The Rickchurian Mortydate, Beth visits her husband when she suffers from identity crisis and he reflects on a high school date they had and she ends up kissing him as thanks. They decide to get back together and hide from Rick who still tracks them down but begrudgingly accepts their choice. At the end, they are living together again with both finally able to be happily married parents and Beth defended Jerry from Rick's insults During Childrick of Mort, Beth and Jerry have problems but Jerry saves his wife from falling, though Beth refuses sex as gratitude. When Rick was criticizing Jerry, Beth for once doesn't defend her father - and instead takes her husband's defense by voicing how she was impressed with Jerry because saved her life, while criticizing Rick. This brings a smile to Jerry's face. In the Season 5 premiere, Mort Dinner Rick Andre, Beth and Jerry appear more loving while openly claiming to watch pornography together, thanks to Dr. Wong's therapy, and due to their new sexual nature, they have a three way with Mr. Nimbus. Family Not much is known about the relationship of Beth and her father Rick prior to the events of the series. Jerry insinuates that Beth was raised "like a reptile" by Rick, suggesting that his method of parenting was very unorthodox. It is known that he left her mother for unknown reasons. Beth is very happy that her father came back into her life sometime prior to the Pilot episode. She is usually defensive of him when Jerry badmouths him, and is largely convinced that Rick is good for the family. When she came to realize that Rick was indeed a bad influence on Morty and agreed with Jerry to send him to a nursing home, Morty seemed to exhibit superhuman intelligence (actually the results of dissolving mega-seeds)—further convincing her to keep him around. Beth affectionately celebrates the one-year anniversary of Rick's return in Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind with UFO-shaped pancakes and despite her usual independence, seems to dote on him and his alternate selves in the same episode. Also, multiple Ricks seem to like Beth and compliment her for her kindness. However, this Beth is not the same Beth in Rick Potion #9, who comes to the conclusion that her father Rick is a "selfish, irresponsible ass," after he turned everyone on Earth into monsters and abandoned her, Jerry and Summer, from the Prime Dimension During the events of "Total Rickall," Rick was clearly upset by Beth doubting his existence because of the parasites. He also comforts Beth when she shoots Mr. Poopybutthole after thinking he was a parasite, explaining his similar mistake. In the Season 2 finale, The Wedding Squanchers, Beth gets a closer look at her father's personal life, and tries her best to keep Jerry from ruining her chances of going on adventures with him more often. Later in the episode, Beth is heartbroken to find that Rick abandoned her a second time (little did she know that this time, he turned himself in to protect her and her family from the Federation). When the family is taken back to earth by the Galactic Federation, she bursts into tears. At the same time in the episode, Rick's self-sacrifice proved that he actually does care about her. Beth also seems to enjoy Rick's inventions, and appreciates the help he gives her. She allows Rick to stay rent-free in her home due to the fact that she doesn't want him leaving her again. That is the same reason why she disagreed with Jerry so strongly, and wept, when he suggested that the family turn in Rick to the Galactic Federation so that they can go back home to Earth in The Wedding Squanchers. In the Season 3 premiere, The Rickshank Rickdemption, when Jerry finally gives Beth the ultimatum of choosing him or Rick, Beth chooses Rick, leading to their divorce. Shortly after, Beth insists to Rick that the divorce would be good for Jerry, and the family, after he expresses remorse. Rick later admits to Morty that he had a hand in manipulating this because Jerry went against him In The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy, Morty lashes out on Beth for her distance towards him and Summer. He blames this on her relationship with Rick, telling her that she doesn't need to prove herself to be worthy of Rick's love by acting essentially just like him, as it is making her appear just as narcissistic and irresponsible. And that while she's trying to gain Rick's approval, she's hurting him and Summer. Beth believed she needed to prove herself to Rick because of how rarely he ever tells her he loves her. He admits this to Jaguar in, Pickle Rick. Rick also admitted in the same episode to Jerry that he believes Jerry impregnating Beth ruined her chances of being successful, and detests him for his detachment to his daughter. Beth's awareness of her mistreatment of her children may drive her farther away from Rick, as she will likely stop trying to get him to love her, and instead find solace in her relationship with her children. In the episode, The ABC's of Beth, after Beth and Rick clone her childhood friend Tommy and save his father from being executed, they share a long-awaited, and progressive moment with each other. Beth discovers that all her life she's been lying to herself that her father is a good man, and tried desperately to be just like him. She realizes that she doesn't want to be like him anymore, and that she wants to be herself. Rick finally tells her that he genuinely loves her, although in his own way. And proves this to her by giving her an ultimatum. He would clone her, and let her leave to do what she wants, or she could stay, and continue to care for the family. It is likely that Beth chose the latter option based on the scenes that followed. Grazing her fingers across the photos attached to the fridge, Beth smiles at each picture: A picture of Mr. Poopybutthole, her and Jerry on their wedding day, Rick, Summer, and lastly Morty, whose picture she rests her finger on the longest. Due to this suggestion, in The Rickchurian Mortydate Beth began to suffer from an identity crisis despite Rick constantly telling her she is real. Her spiral causes her to turn to Jerry and reconcile with and hide from Rick but he still finds them forcing Beth to confront him. Beth tells Rick if she is a clone, he should just kill her and get it over with or go to another dimension and be with another version of her. However, Rick simply informs her she is his daughter and she is relieved, though put off when he tells her he was actually planning to kill Jerry, but relented. In the end, Jerry moves back in and Rick begrudgingly accepts this while Beth forces him to watch his tone to her husband before she and the family laugh at Rick's expense, showing how much she moved from her father's shadow. In Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri, after meeting Space Beth and both of them dealing with Rick's constant lies, she loses a great amount of respect for him. The same episode would also reveal that Beth left her decision of leaving Earth or staying with her family up to Rick, who would clone her due to being unable to choose between a life-changing decision for his daughter. Beth later regains her respect for him after she found out what Rick has gone through because of Rick Prime showing that even though he is an ass, he is an ass for a reason While their relationship is not the same, Beth is shown to still care for her father as she is still willing to save him from enemies as seen in Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion, though she has lower tolerance for his antics and she treats Rick colder than before. The CuRicksous Case of Bethjamin Button explores Beth's childhood trauma from her father leaving, as after Rick arrives from the de-aged Beth's causing mayhem, they trap him in the de-aging machine and make him 360 years old, leaving Rick a vulnerable, grovelling, rotting man. The Beths then proceed to beat him, believing that Rick didn't want his daughter and just wanted to fuck off, but Rick tries to reason with them, explaining that his original Beth was murdered. This gets to Beth(s), but still angry, says that someone left them, and now that there are two of them, Rick should have no problem loving the both of them. Rick, faced with this, cries, and expresses his pride in his daughters, making his acceptance to both of them clear, all of them touched, hug and cry. In Hot Rick, upon discovering a sentient memory of Rick, she unknowingly transfers him into her own subconscious, where he starts manipulating her memories, brainwashing her into letting the memory version of Diane out of a machine in the sub-basement, and constantly gaslighting her with one message, "This is how we stay a family." She does so, but Space Beth walks in on her, and after trying to unsuccessfully give her the memories as well, brawls with her, despite Space Beth refusing. She eventually kills her, much to her horror, running out. Her other memories begin awakening driving her insane. Eventually after almost driving herself into a cliff, she reaches peak instability, and attempts to commit suicide. The memory Beth's capture Memory Rick and force him to see how they drove his own daughter insane. Rick deters her from killing herself, sedates her, and extracts the memories from her. Beth also expresses she wished she knew Diane better, leading Rick to assure her the real Diane loved Beth more than her memory incarnation Her children Beth knows that her son Morty is not very intelligent and wants him to succeed in school. She has no problems allowing Rick to take Morty on most adventures, believing Rick is not only teaching him valuable life skills and improving his intelligence, but that he is the only friend Morty has. She believes that Morty was filled with Jerry's insecurities as a result of Jerry's overly-nurturing method of raising him, and consequently, she is largely absent from Morty's life. Despite this, Beth does seem to consistently care about Morty's well-being, as she asks if Morty is getting sick in the Pilot episode, and is deeply concerned about the fact that he does not do well in school or have any friends. She was even willing to sacrifice her relationship with Rick, so that Morty could do better in school, in the same episode. In Rick Potion #9, Beth Prime admits that without her son Morty and her father Rick around, she is much happier, and seems indifferent to her son's fate. It isn't unlikely that, in the case that the same events were to occur in the Dimension C-131, as they had in the Prime Dimension, this Beth would feel the same way. However, in The Rickshank Rickdemption, that same Beth, along with her husband and daughter, were going to kill the Summer of Dimension C-131, and keep Morty, meaning they missed him during their time apart. In Something Ricked This Way Comes, Beth communicates with Morty through text, reminding him of Jerry's intellectual insecurities, so that he will accept Jerry's offer to help him with his science project. Implying that they have a close relationship, and have a mutual understanding for each other, and Jerry. Apart from this, their relationship has yet to be explored in any other significant detail in the series. That is, until "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy." In "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy," Morty lashes out on Beth for her distance towards him and Summer. He blames this on her relationship with Rick, telling her that she doesn't need to prove herself to be worthy of Rick's love by acting essentially just like him, as it is making her appear just as narcissistic and irresponsible. And that while she's trying to gain Rick's approval, she's hurting him and Summer. Upon realizing this, Beth institutes change, and later uses the morphizer to make herself giant, puts her skin inside out, and comforts Summer who was crying, and really needed her at the moment. Beth's awareness of her mistreatment of her children has initiated a change in her, making her more motherly and understanding. This change will likely bring her closer to Morty, as well as Summer. But farther from Rick. In "Morty's Mind Blowers," it was revealed that Beth prefers her daughter Summer over her son Morty. Beth was trapped in a situation, where an evil alien from another dimension was planning on killing one of her two children, and graced her with the choice of which one lives. Without any hesitation, Beth immediately demanded that her daughter Summer be the one who survives. Morty was shocked at his mother's choice, as was the alien, but luckily Rick rescued his daughter and grandchildren and erased her son's memories, though he recalled this but forgot again. The reason of Beth's choice is because she is jealous of his closer relationship with Rick. However, it is apparent Beth still loves her son due to her behavior in "The Rickchurian Mortydate," where she was happy to be a family again. It is also likely that without her father Rick's influence, Morty could be Beth's favorite. In Season 1 of the series, before Rick's impact on the family cemented, Beth consistently showed concern for her son Morty's health and well-being. In the episode, "The ABC's of Beth," after talking with her father about his offer to create a clone of her, Beth, still contemplating, carries her hand carefully over all the individual pictures of the family on the refrigerator. This ended at her son's picture, who she looked at the longest, and smiled at afterwards. This could mean that Beth does indeed love her son Morty. During "A Rickconvenient Mort", Beth ultimately shows she does love Morty by voicing disapproval of his status with Planetina because of the age gap (despite her being unaging) and his recklessness in getting involved with her. Morty became angry with Beth after she demands Planetina leave. Morty subsequently lashed out at her by voicing his adventures and how Beth, as well as the rest of the family doubt him and never let him be happy, leaving Beth stunned and somewhat guilty. When Morty and Planetina break up, Beth, overhearing the argument, comforts a weeping Morty. In "Morty Daddy", she tells Morty not to connect with his son, since he does nothing but criticized him Beth loves and cares about her daughter Summer, but the two do not seem very close much of the time. Beth had originally planned to abort the girl when she was still a fetus, but due to the fact that she and Jerry blew a tire on the way to the abortion clinic, they kept the fetus. In "Meeseeks and Destroy," mother and daughter happily go shopping together after their Meeseeks disappear. Urging her father he may lose her, Summer acknowledges that Beth is a "beautiful woman". In a flashback from the episode, "Total Rickall" a drunken Beth accidentally hits her daughter Summer's eye with a bottle on her picture day. She tries to clean up her bruise with make-up. Summer tears up and insists the police take her to school instead of her mother. In "Rick and Morty's Rushed Licensed Adventure," Summer has an over-sized bra in her closet and jealously claims she'll grow into it because "Beth's got big boobs". She is initially unskilled in dealing with her daughter Summer's teenage emotional issues such as when her daughter becomes very doubtful of her attractiveness after her boyfriend, Ethan, dumps her in "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy" for Tricia, a girl with larger breasts, but comes around eventually after Morty tells her how distant she's been towards him, and Summer. Beth later uses the morphizer to enlarge herself, puts her skin inside out, and comforts a crying Summer. Beth's change in parenting in the episode may not be permanent, as she hasn't been as motherly or supportive in any other episode, especially not to Summer, who along with Morty needs this the most from her. In "Morty's Mind Blowers," it was revealed that Beth prefers her daughter Summer over her son Morty. Beth was trapped in a situation, where an evil alien from another dimension was planning to kill one of her two children, and graced her with the choice of which one lives. Without any hesitation, Beth immediately demanded that her daughter Summer be the one who survives. Her preference for her only daughter over her only son could be because she is jealous of his close relationship with Rick. This may also be due to the fact that in "Rixty Minutes," Summer learned she was an unplanned pregnancy after finding very few alternate versions of herself, while it has been stated many times that there are multiple Mortys in other timelines, and Beth wanted to spare her only daughter. Space Beth Space Beth is either Beth's clone or the original Beth that this Beth was cloned from. Initially, they were antagonistic, with each one resenting the other and not understanding the choices that they made. However, they eventually bond over a mutual resentment of Rick and his lies and even gain a respect for one another. In "Solaricks", they are reunited when Space Beth rescues Rick and Morty and brings them down to Earth. Summer looks up to Space Beth, inviting her to stick around, but while they and Beth loot the Citadel and fight scavengers, Summer's clear favoritism to Space Beth causes her own Beth to feel insecure about her relationship with her daughter as well as with Space Beth, declaring that Space Beth ran from her problems and was talking down to her. They apologize to each other after being consumed by a monster, with Space Beth admitting she is glad the family has Beth and doesn't desire the family's approval. After they argue over this, Summer lectures them both, saying to Beth that her affection is always changing and not to worry about it so much. Beth apologizes again at the end that Summer is Space Beth's daughter as well, but Space Beth suggests boundaries are good while admitting she had put hers up too big. Afterwards, she compliments Beth's outfit as "cute" The episode "Bethic Twinstinct" explores the two's bisexuality and relationship with each other, Space Beth comes down to Earth and spends time with her other counterpart. She encourages Beth to be the kind of person she wants to be and not hold back, pointing out they can tell each other anything, including admitting that she finds Beth's ass attractive in a space suit, and after Beth admits to her own attraction to her, they have sex aboard Space Beth's space station and begin an affair. Beth feels unsure about the relationship but Space Beth encourages her, and they both simulate a long happy life together on Rick's Holodeck. After Jerry finds out about the affair, Space Beth urges Beth to leave him and continues to insult Jerry, but they ultimately work things out when they discover Jerry is turned on being cuckolded by watching by Space Beth make out with Beth, with all three of them ending up in a threesome. All the while Morty, Summer and Rick are forced to listen in horror whilst eating Thanksgiving dinner at the Dining Table. In "Hot Rick", upon seeing that Memory Rick has injected himself into Beth, and the latter trying to also affect Space Beth, they brawl, but Space Beth shows no interest in hurting Beth Smith, showing her care for her. But this does not get to Beth, and due to Memory Rick training her memories, she is now very good at fighting, and kills Space Beth, much to her own horror. After getting revived, the two set off to find Beth, who is about to drive off a cliff. Upon catching the car, Beth continues to resist, and eventually gets exhausted. Upon finally being defeated, she grabs Space Beth's gun and tries to kill herself, much to Space Beth's dismay, the latter attempting to talk her out of it. After Rick helps Beth, Space Beth checks in on her. Others Mr. Poopybutthole Throughout the episode, "Total Rickall," Beth acts suspiciously towards Mr. Poopybutthole, mistaking him for a parasite. Near the end of the episode, Beth pulls out one of Rick's laser guns and shoots Mr. Poopybutthole in the chest, blasting him across the room onto a wall. The rest of the family panics, and Beth retreats into the kitchen and haphazardly pours a glass of wine while her eyes fill with tears as Mr. Poopybutthole bleeds heavily while awaiting an ambulance. After the end credits sequence, Mr. Poopybutthole is shown slowly recovering inside the hospital. After telling the doctor that he no longer wishes to see the Smiths at this point in time, the doctor tells Beth that's he's sorry that "They never had any bad memories of him." Davin Davin is Beth's coworker at St. Equis Hospital. Davin is in love with Beth and he constantly hits on her and tries to seduce her and win her over. Beth denies having any feelings for him, which she most likely doesn't, but Jerry does not trust her around him. Davin tries to romance Beth in Rick Potion #9, but sneezes and is affected by Morty's love potion, asking "how soft are his privates". Davin turns into a "mantis-person" as a result of Rick's cure for it, and attacks Beth. Jerry bursts through the door and beats Davin to death with a crowbar. Since these events occurred before everyone was turned into Cronenbergs, Davin may still be dead in the Dimension C-131. Trivia Beth's voice actress, Sarah Chalke, has previously starred as Elliot Reid on the comedy-drama series Scrubs, as well as Stella Zinman on How I Met Your Mother. Both of which were also blonde-haired doctors like Beth. She also played Becky on Roseanne, the family's eldest daughter. Beth is a questioning atheist, as seen in the episode "Get Schwifty". This belief is likely inherited from her father. Similar to Rick, she appears to be aware that the family is in a TV show, quoting at the end of "The Rickchurian Mortydate" that the family will be "back to the way it was in season 1" when she and her husband Jerry get back together. In "The Rickshank Rickdemption", Rick created a memory of Beth's mother, Diane. However, this depiction was of Diane Sanchez from Dimension C-137, as shown in the backstory revealed in "Rickmurai Jack". The fate of this Beth's mother is unknown. Beth drives a red Honda Civic. Beth is Dan {{user}}mon's favorite character. Her husband's name "Jerry" is derived from the Hebrew word "Jeroboam", meaning "large wine bottle". Amusingly, this could be a hint that she's "married to the wine bottle" in more than one sense. She is a functioning alcoholic, and married to Jerry. Her full name might be Lizbeth, doing her name as "Lizbeth Sanchez" or "Lizbeth Smith". She is the biological daughter of Rick C-131, of whom she wasn't aware had died until "Solaricks". Currently, Rick C-137 and Morty Prime stand in as her father and son respectively. It is revealed in the same episode that her current husband Jerry is also from another dimension. It is revealed in "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri" that Beth was cloned by Rick after "The ABC's of Beth". The other Beth had been living in outer space, going on her own adventures much like her father. Rick insists he doesn't know which is the cloned Beth, as he intentionally erased his own memory, and thus it remains unclear as to which Beth is the original. Beth is bisexual, this is the same for her space counterpart. Beth is also shown to possess autosexual tendencies. Jerry speculates Beth may have half-siblings, due to her father's promiscuous lifestyle. This later proved true because of Rick having a child with Poñeta. Beth has appeared in every episode except for "M. Night Shaym-Aliens!", "Mortynight Run", "The Ricks Must Be Crazy", "Forgetting Sarick Mortshall", "Rick: A Mort Well Lived", "Air Force Wong", "Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie", "Mort: Ragnarick", "Valkyrick", "The Rick, The Mort & The Ugly", "Cryo Mort a Rickver", "Ricker than Fiction", and "Erickerhead". Beth Smith Prime appeared in "Pilot", "Lawnmower Dog", "Anatomy Park", and "Meeseeks and Destroy". Additionally, a hologram version of Beth Smith Prime appeared in "M. Night Shaym-Aliens!".
