But didnt this episode already feel like the beginning of the end?
The title conceit alone is a winner.
These mock memorials are pitched perfectly between comic absurdity and poignant farewell.
Tahani is laid to rest where she felt most comfortable: the cabin of a Gulfstream G650 private jet.
(She also wears a Dead AF tank, under a banner that reads, Ya Dead.)
But our heroes get real, too.
Tahani mentions all the times Eleanor insulted and ogled her, and says shed never felt quite so seen.
Why is reawakening Chidi so critical?
(Thats the number of friends inFriends!
Are you going to sit there and say that every single Friend belongs in Hell?)
All the above fills up the first two-thirds of this episode, culminating in Michael winning his case.
She eventually finds it underneath the thing that ends all wars and a DVD set ofJustifiedseason two.
Then, in a shocking twist, Janet zaps the ultimate nullifier into her void.
And its not evenourJanet; itsBadJanet, who has read Michaels manifesto and changed her mind about humans.
She shared the book with all the Janets even the fabled Disco Janet!
At times, this past year ofThe Good Placehas felt a little aimless, repetitive, and under-realized.
But entering the homestretch, its finally following Michaels vague suggestion: Step one, get a plan.
Step two, do the plan.
And yeah, its working.
At the fake funerals, an unconscious Chidi is posed in the background,Weekend at Berniesstyle.
(At Eleanors funeral, he wears his hot postman outfit.)
Shawn would like to enter other humans into evidence for his case.
He proposes Elizabeth Holmes, Henry Kissinger, and PewDiePie.
But the comedy MVP this week is, once again, Manny Jacinto.
