The Good Place 1.07

The Eternal Shriek

Michael announces his departure. Tahani decides to throw a going away party for him. Eleanor decides, after learning that Michael can't leave without Janet's help, that they must do away with Janet. Chidi tries to talk Eleanor out of killing Janet. She won't be swayed but then Chidi accidentally kills Janet.

Chidi has some flashbacks to his life before he died. Janet returns from the dead but without all her memories. Eleanor tells Michael the truth, that she got mixed up with someone else.

Thoughts

The title of the episode refers to something that Michael says about his planned retirement from the Good Place.

Chidi's flashbacks revealed that he isn't quite as morally upright as he usually seems to be.

This episode wasn't quite as funny as some of the earlier ones but I still laughed a few times and I'm still interested in seeing where it will go next.
