President Curtis & His Team Have Some Issues: S01E03 "Ex" Preview
In this early look at the next episode of the Adult Swim series, President Curtis deals with some team issues, his ex-wife nerves, and more.
Article Summary
- President Curtis S01E03 "Ex" preview teases team turmoil as Banks and O'Doyle struggle to smooth over their rough spots.
- Banks faces a possible snitch problem while O'Doyle's over-the-top style earns both of them red cards and job evaluations.
- President Curtis gets invited to his ex-wife's inauguration gala and may be reading the high-stakes event as a date.
- The Adult Swim Rick and Morty spinoff sets up awkward politics, workplace tension, and personal nerves in "Ex."
It's not that President Curtis (Keith David) doesn't have the makings of a great team in Stephanie Beatriz's (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) Chief of Staff Banks and Jim Rash's (Community) Special Agent O'Doyle. It's just that… well, they're not quite yet there when it comes to smoothing over the rough spots. O'Doyle's a little too over-the-top with his job, while Banks (as we learn in the preview for S01E03: "Ex") might have a bit of a "snitch" issue. That means red cards and being pulled from the field for job evaluations – just when Curtis needs them the most. It seems he's been invited to his ex-wife's inauguration gala, and he might be reading it as a date – even if no one else is. Here's a look at what's ahead with the next episode of Adult Swim and EPs Dan Harmon & James Siciliano's "Rick and Morty" spinoff:

Rick and Morty Spinoff Does Right by Louise Belcher, Bob's Burgers Fans
In S01E02: "Triangle," President Andre Curtis (Keith David) and his team – Stephanie Beatriz's (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) Chief of Staff Banks and Jim Rash's (Community) Special Agent O'Doyle – head out to do an undercover inspection of a secret prison facility run by the government that's located in the Bermuda Triangle. In order to get to the prison safely, you need a skilled and capable pilot – and that's where Amelia Earhart comes in! That's right, not only is the famed pilot still alive, but she's been working with the government for decades now. Elevating an already very cool creative move to another level was the casting of the amazing Kristen Schaal to voice Earhart, who also voices Louise Belcher on Bob's Burgers. At this point, we're pretty sure fans of the long-running FOX animated series appreciate how cool that is…
In the 2023 Season 13 finale, S13E22: "Amelia," Louise chooses Earhart to be the topic of her "My Hero" project, but she begins to lose faith in her belief in the aviation hero, "thanks" to her painfully annoying on so many levels classmate, Wayne (ugh). What follows is a personal journey for Louise, with her mother, Linda (John Roberts), explaining how important it was for her, growing up, to have confident women to look up to and be inspired by, and how girls need that now more than ever.
We can't go much further into the episode because we're already getting teary-eyed, but Louise's shadow-puppet presentation honoring Earhart and the moments between her and Linda are golden. At one point during the episode, Louise imagines that Earhart survived and continued having an amazing career. We think she would smile knowing what she was up to over in the "Rick and Morty" universe.
