Tonight on TheGoodPlace, the new experiment ends — with a callback to Season One’s most iconic moment. Read Alan Sepinwall’s recap
As the experiment enters its final day, Eleanor is an anxious wreck about their inability to get Brent to stop being a selfish man-baby, and her behavior has become erratic enough for Simone to notice. It’s a clever twist, albeit the kind of story that would play much better if Simone had been more prominently featured in the previous six episodes.
As has been the case throughout the season, though, this big development plays out more through the response of the regular characters than through anything that Simone, John, and Brent do. Eleanor panics even more, Michael uses this as an excuse to bust out his magician alter ego, The Magnificent Dr. Presto, and Chidi melts down when his alleged soul mate Simone doesn’t seem to be into him in that way.
And, as has also been the case throughout the season, Simone and John’s feelings are treated as mattering much less than Brent’s reformation. The imbalance among the newbies has been as much of a problem as the lack of screen time for any of them. Simone was already a very good person, while John had some room for improvement, but not nearly as much as Brent. So the experiment, the season to date, and this episode all hinge on Brent being able to look beyond himself and think of others.
Fortunately, that concluding sequence is wonderful. Jason gets to make a coherent argument, albeit by framing it in football talk, as he posits that running the prevent defense would prevent the experiment from succeeding. Even better, his assertion that you really can blow up the same thing twice inspires a fantastic callback to the series’ most iconic moment.
It takes Eleanor and Michael so long to get there, though, and then for Chidi to finally force Brent to think about someone else’s feelings, that Brent’s apology has barely started when time elapses and he and Chidi are frozen in place. Did he say enough before the clock struck midnight for it to matter? Have the point totals for the others grown enough to compensate for Brent? It’s unclear, and also a genuine cliffhanger in a season that’s been oddly light on them so far.
