Speaking to ScreenRant, "Rick and Morty" star Sarah Chalke opened up about the process of making Season 6. In it, she discussed her memories of recording the episode, "Bethic Twinstinct," which featured Beth engaging in a spicy love affair with her own clone, Space Beth. Chalke said she was blindsided by the concept when she got the script, but that she loved how audacious the idea was. "I had no idea," she said, "and I read the script, and it's like, as the viewer, I'm sure when you're watching it, you're like, 'Oh, wait, this is going there. Oh my god, this is going there.'"
Beyond the sheer novelty of the premise, Chalke appreciated that the emotional core of the Beth-on-Beth romance remained compelling. "I just loved how they wrote it," Chalke said, "and I loved how it kind of becomes a love story between these two characters and kind of catches you off guard [...] I like that you get to see this whole new side of both Beths."
At the same time, there's a funny side to the behind-the-scenes process; Chalke noted the difficulties of recording such a hot and heavy script while at home with her children. "Rick and Morty" records each actor separately — Chalke even records the multiple versions of her character separately — and at-home recording is commonplace these days. More so in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While recording "Bethic Twinstinct," Chalke hoped the sound booth was keeping sound in as well as out. "Because, otherwise, the young children running around might have thought it was a little bit strange," Chalke remarked with a chuckle.
