Plot

President Andre Curtis summons Rick, requesting that he infiltrate Virginia under suspicion that the entire population has joined a cult. However, the President also mandates Rick bring along his therapist Dr. Helen Wong, leading Rick to suspect President Curtis wants to date her. When President Curtis and Rick enter Virginia, they discover that the entire state has been taken over by Unity, who is worried about Rick’s hunt for Rick Prime. Unity is convinced to leave and Dr. Wong breaks up with President Curtis, citing that he needs to overcome his obsession for everybody’s approval. President Curtis finally cracks under the pressure and hijacks the Virginia hive mind for himself, spreading the infection across the world to fulfill his desire for 100% approval ratings. Rick enlists Dr. Wong’s aid to convince Unity to stop President Curtis, and they agree to help and remove all of the infected humans from the hive mind. Later, Rick visits President Curtis, where the latter considers getting therapy.
