Recap "The Good Place": Season 3, Episode 3 – "The Brainy Bunch"

This diabolical evil Trevor is back to mess with The right placeThe core of the quartet. Can he derail Michael's experience before it starts?

Like teasing last week, Trevor infiltrated the study on the impending death of Chidi, who is terribly friendly, which immediately disables Eleanor. (Jason likes it, of course.Of course.) Michael returns to Earth – dressed in a Dick Tracy hat and trench coat, which Trevor immediately mocks – to confront the demon from Bad Place. Of course, Trevor might have just brought Michael closer to the judge-general, but as he says to Michael, "this way of doing things is more fun, the sling nuts!" Trevor is determined to create a gap between humans, and he may have a length in advance: Eleanor is not happy with the composition of the group and wants to continue her individual ethical training with Chidi … but he tells her that he does not have the time, now that he is fed up with this study.

We are then treated for perhaps the funniest play put into Good place The story when Trevor invited the gang into an American themed bar called the Cowboy Skyscraper Buffet, a hilarious and grotesque mix of ugly and American cliches. (The ringtone they give you and that sounds when your table is ready is a real handgun, and on the wall is a modified Rushmore Mount starring David Hasselhoff, Paris Hilton, Judy and Hulk Judges. Hogan.) Trevor is struggling to be heard. associate the "Brain-y Bunch" sweatshirt to the entire gang, but his face falls off when he sees their waitress: yeah, that's Janet.

Janet swears to keep an eye on him, but she is shaken by the fact that a beers tray does not magically appear in her hands when she says it out loud. (That's just a rough adjustment for her.) Meanwhile, Trevor goes to work, sowing in Chidi's head that it might be unprofessional for him to spend time with his attendees at study and drunk his vodka sister with Jason and Tahani. It works too: Chidi runs away to avoid ruining his office, and a drunken Tahani ends up snuggling up against Jason, which, according to Trevor, will drive her out of the group with embarrassment. He teases Michael and Janet of his rapid progress … and reminds them that the general judge will notice that they left very soon.

The next day, Tahani is indeed humiliated by "her gross behavior" the night before, giving her official letters of apology – but she also says that Jason was a perfect gentleman, so she sticks to the study . Eleanor abandons the study to stay at home and read Aus Weekly (ha!), after telling Chidi that she had come to Australia to work with him, and not with a whole group of crazy people. (Our word, not his.) But Chidi stalks her and attributes to him the arrival in his office of having knocked him out of his spiral of indecision. He begs her to come back: "I ask you as a friend." She says yes – and now it's Michael and Janet's turn to gloat.

Not so fast, though. Suddenly, this magical golden door materializes and the Doorman enters to tell Michael, Janet and Trevor to follow him: "The judge wants to see you." Back in the afterlife, Judge Gen blames Michael for all his unauthorized journeys on Earth. . (Trevor tries to kiss her, but she throws him into an infinite void of darkness.) Gen tells them that their interference has caused a ricochet destructive effect on Earth, the four humans are now autonomous. She is also about to put Michael and Janet on early retirement … when a tray filled with beers appears in Janet's hand. All the things that she asked for on Earth begin to appear at the same time, and pile up in front of her and Michael, separating them from General Michael, enjoying the distraction and, with the help of the Doorman he still appreciates the frog sticker Michael gave him. – he and Janet go back through the Earth's golden gate. (For real?)
