Michael continues to visit Earth to nudge things towards favorable outcomes for the humans. Tahani had decided to become more charitable and less self-absorbed. She even leaves behind the hustle and bustle of her life to live in a monastery but returns to her old life when a documentary crew visits and inspires her to right a book about the experience there and finding enlightenment. Michael speaks to her at a party in the character of an unethical businessman that compares himself to Tahani. She is horrified at the thought that she is this unethical, so she decides to accept Chidi's offer to join the study.
Jason has decided to leave behind a life of petty crime and focus his attention on dance competitions. However, he opts to return to criminal activity when he is unable to succeed in his goals. Michael tries to convince Jason to go to Australia to start a dance crew there. But as Jason had already been searching for a deeper meaning in life he is already happy to join the study.
Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason are all reunited in Australia but Michael is horrified when Trevor arrives to also join the study, having been sent by the Bad Place as a means of sabotage.
The Good Place airs on Thursdays on NBC at 8:30/7:30c.
Judge Gen has only authorised Michael to travel to Earth once. Upon doing so he saves Eleanor's, Chidi's, Jason's, and Tahani's lives so they can live in a new timeline to see if they can still learn to be better people without making it to the afterlife first. Michael is forbidden from meddling with their lives any further.
But Michael and Janet continues to monitor the humans and find that their better approaches to life only last for about six months before they revert back to their old ways. Chidi meets a neuroscientist colleague from the university he is working at. Her name is Simone and he helps him to explore the inner mechanisms of his brain using an expensive MRI machine she has access to for her research. Chidi had become a more decisive person but when he recommends the same philosophy to his coworker Henry it inadvertently leads Henry to be very injured. Despite Henry holding no grudge against Chidi, the guilt is too much and Chidi becomes indecisive once again.
Michael defies Judge Gen's orders and returns to Earth to begin influencing the humans to meet one another. He nudges Eleanor down a path that sees her reunited with Chidi. She wants him to help her to become a better person and Chidi agrees to instruct her on moral philosophy after Michael pried Chidi to say yes.
Michael is worried about the plan working when Eleanor encourages Chidi to be brave and ask Simone out. But Janet tells him not to worry, reminding him that there were other attempts in the neighborhood when Chidi and Eleanor didn't become involved romantically but still managed to establish a meaningful connection.
Shawn is made aware of this new timeline with the humans and orders a Bad Place team to hack into Gen's system to interfere so the humans will not earn their way into the Good Place. Michael's repeated trips to Earth have opened up a backdoor which Shawn's team is able to exploit for their use.
The Good Place airs on Thursdays on NBC at 8:30/7:30c.
