What happened in episode 3 of 'Rick and Morty' season 8?
One of a kind plot, the episode hardly had any of the main characters in it. However, the fill the void, the clones offered a hilarious take being the villains. While the Mortys had their peaceful town full of refugees, the Rick clones tried to kidnap the Mortys to force them into rebuilding the Citadel, according to ScreenRant.
In the post-credit scene,
Hillbilly Rick
and Doc Morty are honoured for their sacrifice after their death to save the Mortys and stop the Ricks. The emotional ending served right in the theme of the eighth season, only to be disrupted by the protagonists. The main Morty and Ricky accuse the Arcade Morty for killing Hillbilly Rick. However, before he could explain the misunderstanding, Morty found his fidget spinner and left with Rick in all positivity without knowing what exact disastrous events had happened before.

Surviving Ohio State OTT Release Date: When and where to watch HBO's sexual abuse scandal documentary in India
Surviving Ohio State OTT Release Date: Directed by award-winning Australian filmmaker Eva Orner, who also won an Oscar for her work exposing abuse, the 108-minute feature peels back nearly two decades of horrific wrongdoing at Ohio State University between 1978 and 1998. Surviving Ohio State lands in India on JioHotstar on June 18, just a day after its U.S. debut on HBO and Max on June 17. More about Surviving Ohio State Surviving Ohio State's backbone is the investigative work of journalist Jon Wertheim, whose October 2020 Sports Illustrated piece laid bare 'Why Aren't More People Talking About the Ohio State Sex Abuse Scandal?'. That story exploded into public consciousness, and it's the jump‑off point for Orner's relentless search to understand how so many powerful people looked the other way. On screen, real survivors, largely male athletes, many former standouts in wrestling, share chilling memories: locker-room exams, secretive deflections, silence from coaches and administrators who 'just dealt with it.' We hear from men like Mark Coleman (later a UFC heavyweight champion), the DiSabato brothers, Will Knight, Al Novakowski, Rocky Ratliff, Dan Ritchie, Mike Schyck, Stephen Snyder‑Hill, and even a wrestling referee, Frederick Feeney. Their voices carry incredible weight because, as one survivor reflects on-screen: 'You walk into a room, and Doc tells you to turn the lights off... Who you gonna tell?'. Behind the scenes, Orner approached Surviving Ohio State with sensitivity: she spent months building trust, speaking with about 100 survivors before a core group felt ready to go public. She even screened the finished cut privately with them, complete with mental health support, to make sure they're seen with dignity, not sensationalised. The crew is also stacked: George Clooney, Grant Heslov, and David Glasser joined as producers for Smokehouse Pictures/HBO Sports, with cinematographer Nick Higgins and editor Charles Olivier shaping the story's flow; composer Cornel Wilczek provides the music.

The Last of Us season 3 to focus on Kaitlyn Dever as Abby
Washington [US], June 11 (ANI): The creators of the hit HBO series 'The Last of Us,' Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, have confirmed that season three will star Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, a character who brutally murdered Pedro Pascal's character Joel in the second season. The announcement was made during an Emmys FYC event, where Mazin and Druckmann teased the direction of the upcoming season, as per The Hollywood Reporter. According to Druckmann, season three will be "more of a water season than a fire season," indicating a shift in tone and setting from previous seasons. Mazin added that it will be "a wetter season than a hotter season," suggesting a change in the visual and atmospheric approach to the show. Druckmann expressed his gratitude to HBO for allowing the creative team to take risks and make bold decisions in the storytelling. "I was sure that they wouldn't let us do this when we started adapting this, but they've leaned into what makes, I believe, the story special," he said, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. The decision to kill off Joel early in the second season was a controversial one, but Druckmann believes it was necessary for the story. Kaitlyn Dever, who plays Abby, joined the conversation remotely and expressed her excitement about being part of the show. "The controversy surrounding Abby was never really a concern for me," she said, praising the creative team and the experience of working on the set. Mazin discussed the decision to kill off Joel, explaining that it's a show about grief, not revenge. "How are we supposed to grieve if nobody we truly, truly are invested in dies?" he asked. The creators believe that plot armour can be a problem in storytelling, and they're willing to take risks to keep the show grounded and realistic. (ANI)
