Night Family
"Night Family" is the fourth episode of the sixth season of the Adult Swim animated television series Rick and Morty. Written by Rob Schrab and directed by Jacob Hair, the episode likely pays homage to Rod Serling's television series Night Gallery.
At breakfast, Rick introduces his family to a "Somnambulator", a device which can make their unconscious bodies perform tasks while they sleep. Bodies under the influence of the device are referred to as "Night People".
The family use the Somnambulator to make their unconscious selves do all the chores they don't want to do in their waking hours, with the exception of Jerry, who treats his Night Person as a pen pal. When Night Jerry writes a letter requesting that the family rinse their dishes before going to bed, Rick becomes incensed and leaves a mess for the Night People to clean up. This prompts the Night People to rise up against the "Daymanoids" (as they call their conscious selves). Under the leadership of Night Summer, they hijack the Somnambulator and create an army of robots, which they use to enslave the Daymanoids. The Daymanoids effect an escape, but Night Summer chases them down and sedates them, causing them to become Night People permanently.
In a post-credits scene, the Night People, having blown all their money and grown tired of life, destroy the Somnambulator, allowing the awakened family to continue as normal. The family are horrified to learn that the Choco Taco was permanently discontinued while they were asleep.
The thing that we stumbled upon is, what if Summer was the Big Bad of the episode? What if this teenage girl turned into a ponytailed Hannibal Lector? (Rob Schrab)
It really emerges that Summer's resentments, her deep-seated problems with her grandfather are taking shape in the form of this rebellion of the night family. (Jacob Hair)
Before season six's release, the episode titles were informally revealed, including "Night Family's". On the September 19 and 21, extended previews were released. In advance, the episode was projected to release on Sunday, September 25, 11pm in the United States, and 4 am in the United Kingdom.
In the video Inside The Episode: "Night Family" on Adult Swim's YouTube channel, Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon explains that the episode concept was carried down for many years. While writing, Rob Schrab came across the question "...what if Summer was the Big Bad of the episode?". The prospect of an Evil Summer dates back to August 2021, where Spencer Grammer, her voice actor, gave hints.
