Record Summary
Episode 15 occupies an official numbered position within the #RebuildRadicalRick campaign and retains the title Was There More?
The original Episode 15 post, image, publication date, and narrative purpose have not been recovered.
The current Episode 15 public archive page displays material that duplicates Episode 12, Inside Rick’s Mind. Because that duplicated material cannot be verified as belonging to Episode 15, it is not treated as the original Episode 15 source.
This record preserves the numbering gap openly rather than replacing the missing episode through assumption.
Original Published Text
The original published text for Episode 15 has not been recovered.
The text currently displayed on the Episode 15 public archive page duplicates the verified text used for Episode 12 and is therefore not reproduced here as Episode 15 source material.
No original wording has been inferred, rewritten, or reconstructed.
Known Archival Issue
The current Episode 15 archive page contains the same image and campaign text documented for Episode 12.
The duplicated material includes:
- the separate Radical Rick head component;
- pages from Radical Rick: The Complete Episodes;
- the quotation describing Damian Fulton’s work as an “out-of-the-park” grand slam;
- the same March 21, 2025 source material used for Episode 12.
This duplication establishes a problem with the surviving Episode 15 archive page but does not establish what the original Episode 15 post contained.
The known title Was There More? has been retained because it appears independently as the Episode 15 page title.
Contaminated Surviving Visual Evidence
Warning: The two images below document the surviving Episode 15 page and associated screenshot, but both reproduce Episode 12 material. They are preserved to prove the archival problem and must not be treated as the original Episode 15 image or post.
Surviving Episode 15 public-page capture — preserved as contaminated evidence.
Associated duplicate source screenshot — preserved for comparison with Episode 12, not authenticated as Episode 15.

Verification Notes
- Episode 15 is an official numbered position in the campaign.
- The current public archive page identifies the episode as Episode 15: Was There More?
- The original Episode 15 publication date has not been recovered.
- Episode 15 has no assigned position in the verified publication chronology.
- The current Episode 15 page duplicates the image and wording used for Episode 12.
- The duplicated Episode 12 material is not treated as valid Episode 15 source evidence.
- The original Episode 15 image, post text, narrative purpose, and social-media permalink remain missing.
- Episode 15 is excluded from the verified chronological count.
- The numbering position has intentionally been preserved.
- No substitute episode has been created.
- No missing language, date, image, or narrative purpose has been guessed or reconstructed.
Recovery Requirements
Episode 15 may be upgraded from unverified status only if supporting source evidence is recovered.
Useful evidence could include:
- the original Facebook post;
- a stable direct-post permalink;
- a dated screenshot;
- an original campaign image;
- a social-media export;
- a contemporaneous campaign schedule;
- another archival record showing the original Episode 15 content.
Until such evidence is found, this record remains the authoritative placeholder for the missing numbered position.
Preservation Note
This record documents an absence rather than concealing it.
Preserving the missing position protects the integrity of the campaign chronology and prevents duplicated or invented material from being presented as the original Episode 15 record.
The title Was There More? is retained from the surviving archive page, while all unrecovered details remain explicitly identified as unknown.
