That's a good point about how this episode in particular is basically a side story to the ongoing events. I'm sure Good Place isn't the only series to have done this but it definitely seems like a very 2010s style of storytelling where a show can basically spend an entire episode on something like this in the middle of a big development, because storytelling has become so serialized.
