This episode was just so incredible. Amazing how this show just keeps getting better and better!

I loved the scene in the beginning of Janet revealing her feelings to Jason. And of course, her revealing her feelings for Jason made Chidi realize how he needs to stop lying to himself about Eleanor and he kissed her. Hot Diggity Dog! I loved it! It was an incredible moment and was so Chidi and Eleanor. The build for these 2 has just been perfect, they are totally soulmates and each episode continues shows why.

I automatically knew that Michael and the judge was going to sent everyone to their human lives when they were chatting. So, I wasn't shocked and caught on to that right away... of course I didn't know they would be placed at the exact place where they died. But I definitely knew that was the plan but now it got me so curious on how next season will continue.

Eleanor and Tahani scene was incredble. Love them being mates. BFF's! how much they have grown since the Pilot is a beautiful thing.

Just so much I loved about this episode.
And Michael, thanks for not ending this season betraying the team.

well that was just plain spectacular.
it was exactly what i wanted... without knowing that i wanted it.
i loved eleanor and tahani just chatting like 'mates' at the beginning.
and Chidi finally standing up to his fears and rationalisations... hot diggity dog indeed. preach michael.

eleanor really trying, but ultimately failing to be a 'good' person felt real... they definitely werent giving us any easy outs in this episode.

nice Cheers shoutout for Ted.

and of course, Chidi is the missing piece... because its people that make you want to be good after all

saw interesting theory that they werent actually sent back to earth (would be too huge of a change) but that they are essentially in another simulation of sorts that is suppose to show Gen they can be better

would make sense.. seeing how eleanor still hears chidi in english even though was established in pilot he speaks in french and it's just 'the good place' translating languages into what their soulmate can understand

This show continues to astonish.

The episodes are getting more emotional: first Michael's sacrifice, now the ending with Eleanor finding Chidi, like the note said at the beginning of season 1: Find Chidi.

Chidi Anna Kendrick.

They also established that Chidi taught philosophy in Australia in S1, which might explain why he can speak fluent English.

I'm not saying they aren't in a Good Place-esque simulation, but these writers throw out tidbits that later prove to be important.

Loved this episode!

That kiss in the beginning

I think the way Eleanor initially tried to be good but started to become jaded was really well done, and something a lot of people can probably relate to. It was sad to see her starting to give up though

Ted behind the bar was a cute reference

And the way it ended with Chidi and Eleanor meeting was really cool. And the fact that Eleanor watched his entire 3 hour long video lecture was a nice touch. I wonder how much of next season will be spent in this alternate-earthly life.

i don't believe they were either, just because michael said they were going to be in separate "medium places" for a while, while they figure out how to be good people without the "moral dessert," so i assumes it was just meant to seem like they were back on earth for real

unless that was all before gen and michael started speaking in half sentence code, i forget! need to watch it again already or if the plan is to put them in their own earth medium place and see if they can find each other because they're what make each other better

MAN what a good finale!

i find the theory interesting because i never thought that it was anything other then a simulation myself, straight from the get go, so, the fact that they could have been sent back to earth to try again as it were, is a fresh idea for me to crunch.

Now that i have rewatched it, i notice that Michael does say something to the effect of "there's just four of them" but even so, for nerdy me, if you rewind time to change the outcome of something, the continuum would be catastrophic. butterfly effect changes rippling everywhere, as these people that are supposed to be gone come into contact with people that they never should meet, and further impact the lives of the ones they know, altering moments and trajectories as they go, so, yeah... in my head it was always a simulation. it just seemed far simpler.

i love that this ep finished right were episode 1 started... with finding Chidi.
i do wonder if their paths will now cross with the rest of team cockroach on 'earth' before the simulation ends? i honestly dont see how Tahani and Jason would be able to make it to the good place if they dont have the guidance and influence of Eleanor and Chidi. i mean, Tahani said it herself in the ep, she is a better person because of Eleanor.

yeah, in the safe and unaware of how wrong everything was going.
not really a near death experience for him... kinda just like any other random tuesday

This is a pretty good simulation vs. reality article.
interesting to see just how evenly split everyone is on this.
