I feel like this is the point where the season's plot is just about to hit its stride. I have no idea what's going to happen in the next episode and I am loving it.
I thought Simone was great in this episode. While Eleanor and co. smugly thought they had her under control, she proved to have been outsmarting them all along. Given the obvious flaws there'd be in the tale that she's in the Good Place, it's good to see how her sceptical instinct hasn't just let her come along for the ride.
I was kind of uncomfortable with how Eleanor was treating Michael for most of the episode… it was really coming across like she's looking down on him now, for some reason. Given how Michael just wants to be accepted by the group, I felt so sad for him 💔 Buuut things did turn around for the end. I loved the cackling from Michael and Eleanor when Chidi announces that he thinks they're in the Bad Place. Just a great callback to that classic first-season cackle and of course it led straight to the scene where Chidi FINALLY GOT BRENT TO FACE UP TO THE REALITY THAT EVERYONE THINKS HE'S A BAD PERSON and maaaan I think next week's gonna be good. 🍿
