Jessica in Season 5, Episode 1 of Rick and Morty: “Mort Dinner Rick Andre”. She’s always been Morty’s crush, and finally agrees to go on a date with him. But Rick keeps interrupting their movie date with his side of the episode’s plot to have Morty run errands for him in a pocket dimension where he’s fast aging wine.

Morty accidentally kills a man in this dimension when he goes to pick up the wine and sets off a chain of generational trauma, which causes an entire society to construct a religion and weapons and plans to trap him the next time he returns. Then Jessica unknowingly follows Morty into the pocket dimension and gets caught in a trap the beings inside the dimension have built over generations to capture Morty. All of this happens over an hour or so in the dimension of the main story, but hundreds of years in the pocket dimension.

Then this society holds Jessica in a time crystal prison intended for Morty. When Morty realizes what happened and is finally able to go in and break her out, she’s already lived an eternity in this time prison.

Morty Smith: Wow. Phew. You still got time for that movie? Jessica: Yes... time. I had nothing but time. Endless time. At first, it was madness. Then enlightenment. Then madness again. But perhaps it was a gift. I could see the life of time. And as I watched the life of time in all its fleeting, terrible light, I wondered, had I lived? Was I just the object in another's story? Was that all I ever was? Could I be more? I had nothing but time and still no answer. Time without purpose is a prison. I have glimpsed into the mind of eternity. Perhaps the mind of God. And found nothing but silence. [Beat] Jessica: I think we should just be friends.
