Details about the second episode of "Rick and Morty" season 3 remains scarce, but speculations about the plot of the episode called "Rickmancing the Stone" are still coming out.

Inverse speculated that episode 2 of "Rick and Morty" season 3 will feature several references from the 1984 romantic-comedy film "Romancing the Stone" starring Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas.

The film centered on Turner's character Joan Wilder's adventures in Colombia to save her kidnapped sister. Along the way, Joan met Douglas' character Jack T. Colton. Together, the two fell in love and went on a wild treasure hunt before rescuing her sister from the kidnappers.

While the report claimed that it would be impossible to see Rick in a romantic situation, it stated that it could be possible to see the eccentric mad scientist and his teenage grandson rescue someone close to them.

The speculation claimed that Morty might have to rescue his sister Summer from kidnappers with the help of Rick. However, Adult Swim has yet to confirm the speculations.

Meanwhile, The Independent reported that the strong influence of "Rick and Morty" was proven when McDonald's responded to the fans' petition to bring back the special edition Szechuan sauce that the fast-food chain released in 1998 as part of their tie-in with Disney Films' "Mulan."

The demand for the special Szechuan dipping sauce for McNuggets began after the premiere episode of "Rick and Morty" season 3, where Rick constantly mentioned that his mission for the animated series' nine season arch is to bring back the sauce once again.

This prompted the fans to launch an online petition that already reached more than 20,000 signatures. McDonald's responded with a Twitter post saying, "McNugga Lubba Dub Dub," in reference to Rick's iconic phrase "Wubalubadubdub."

Also, the fast-food chain's corporate chef Mike Haracz also responded to the petition, saying that he will try to do something about it. This could mean that Rick might get his biggest wish and see the return of the Szechuan sauce back on the menu.

Adult Swim has yet to announce the official release date of "Rick and Morty" season 3 episode 2 soon.
