I think it makes sense for Chidi to have regained his development by this point.

It's been a year. He thinks he's in Heaven, which settles his anxieties over "was I doing the right thing on Earth" and doesn't create a whole lot of "am I doing the right thing now." The Jason reveal stressed him out, but it seems like they've fallen into a good routine, and the longer they go without being "caught", the less he has to worry about it.

Plus he's had Eleanor dropping in to say inspirational things that she knows will help him get more confident, and he's had a stable romance that he still hasn't screwed up by doing anything wrong (and might think he can't screw up, since they're "soulmates"), which sure doesn't hurt.

Good points about Simone's bedrock independence, which ties in to why she works with Chidi so well. She enjoys his company and appreciates the nice things he does, but she doesn't depend on him for anything, so it's very hard for him to let her down.

Maybe Brent will end up in his own Medium Place. But not in Mindy St. Claire's neighborhood, because I can't see that ending well...
