I liked the episode too. But the show now has an identity crisis: the fans (you and me) want to see the serious side explored, but it's honestly a bit pretentious and definitely less funny.
R&m though really is a victim of its fanbase. I tried watching the fan favorite s3e01 with my dad, who has seen all of seasons 1 and 2, and he really couldnt follow the plot. It made me realize that I probably only liked it because I watched each episode of seasons 1 and 2 at least twice (the dvd commentary is great). I'm just going to skip watching the council of ricks episode from season 3 with him, it's really self indulgent.
This season was originally going to have four more episodes that would address this but Harmon and Roiland didn't know how to resolve it properly. They admitted that the final episode was originally an arbitrary one which they "finale-ized" to wrap up the season.
This author's article points out the unique aspect: you can see the expensive restaurants and the homeless inches away from one another. that's what makes it not just unjust but so aesthetically absurd as to be dystopian.
I've talked with multiple physical therapists about it and they've been very clear about that distinction. Other commenters here are missing the point.
