The job of a season finale is to wrap up the season’s story arcs and subplots, and establish new story arcs and subplots for the next season. This finale did its job perfectly by completing turning the whole season on its head with a plot twist that will completely affect how the next season is written. The episode kicks off

This episode was honestly my favourite one of the season. The episode kicks off with a flashback to Eleanor’s final moments and death – shopping in the supermarket, being rude to a cashier, then being rude to an environmental charity worker outside of the store who calls her out on her behaviour, then picking up the bottle of margarita mix

This episode provides more insight into the points system. The episode kicks off with Both Eleanors, Chidi and Tahani in Michael’s office.

The episode kicks off with Eleanor waiting outside of Michael’s office, much like she did in the pilot. Michael calls her in and asks her who she is. Eleanor tells him that some of

This episode picks up from where we were left off. Michael explains to the residents that he believes he is the design flaw in the neighbourhood as the incidents that Eleanor caused also happened moments after he did something wrong. Michael asks Janet to call a train for him to leave the neighbourhood so he can retire, which she also

The episode kicks off with Eleanor freaking out over her impending meeting with Michael to investigate the cause of the sinkhole. Before she leaves, Chidi introduces her to the concept of contractualism and that she if made a commitment to help Michael she should stick to it. When Eleanor goes to her meeting, Michael tells her he has theorised that

This episode explores Utilitarianism and the sinkhole. The episode kicks off with Eleanor in line for frozen yoghurt, where Janet informs her that Michael has added a large amount of new flavours for the residents to try, to make up for the sinkhole not being fixed yet. When Eleanor lets someone in line go before her without a second thought,

Now that we had an episode partially focusing on Tahani, we move on to an episode focused on Jianyu. Unlike the previous episode, in this one we find out a lot about him. The episode picks up from where we left off with Eleanor asking Jianyu whether he really was sent to the Good Place by mistake like her. He
