Rick and Morty: The Anime will be returning with another episode later this week, and has shared a new look at what to expect with a new early preview for Episode 4. Rick and Morty: The Anime has introduced fans to a whole new take on the original animated series with a brand new multiverse set within its already established one. That was only the first of these wild flips, however, as the first episode of the new anime also started messing with space and time and that has infected each of the episodes seen thus far. And it’s only going to continue.

Thanks to an entropy device created by one of the Ricks out there in the anime multiverse, Rick and Morty: The Anime has seen each episode telling multiple stories within its timelines and that’s the case with Episode 4. The newest preview for the episode sees Rick confronting the mysterious Elle, and it’s clear that dealing with her only continues to mess with space and time even further as things are only going to get more puzzling from this point on. You can check out the early preview for Rick and Morty: The Anime Episode 4 below as released by Adult Swim.
