Answer
Tom Kauffman
Answer
Tom Kauffman
Tom Kauffman wrote the season-two finale “The Wedding Squanchers.”
Kauffman is credited as the episode’s writer, with Wes Archer directing. The episode is the tenth and final installment of season two and originally aired on Adult Swim on October 4, 2015. Its story centers on Rick, Morty, and the Smith family attending Birdperson’s wedding to Tammy.
The celebration collapses when Tammy reveals that she is an undercover Galactic Federation agent. She kills Birdperson, attacks the wedding guests, and forces Rick and his family to flee Earth. Rick ultimately surrenders himself to the Federation so that his family can return safely.
The episode is important beyond its wedding plot because it launches the status quo of season three: Rick is imprisoned on a Federation planet, while Earth becomes part of the Galactic Federation. A common mix-up is assigning the script to another recurring writer, such as Ryan Ridley or Mike McMahan, but the episode credit specifically names Tom Kauffman.
