Complete story — includes the ending
Eleanor, Jason, and Janet escape to a "Medium Place" inhabited by Mindy St. Claire ( Maribeth Monroe ), a 1980s attorney who overall led a selfish life, but whose actions just prior to her death led to the formation of a massive global charity fund. Shawn proceeds with his trial on Eleanor and Jason, with Chidi, Tahani, Michael, and real Eleanor trying to argue in Eleanor's favor. Ultimately, Shawn judges against Eleanor and Jason, decreeing that, if the two do not return, Chidi and Tahani will be sentenced to go to the Bad Place in their stead. Eleanor eventually convinces Jason and Janet to return in order to spare Chidi and Tahani from that fate. When they make it back to the Good Place, they have just missed Shawn's deadline by a matter of seconds. Shawn decides that they can choose any two of the four to go to the Bad Place. Flashbacks show the day of Eleanor's death, the day Eleanor was emancipated from her parents, and various other moments in Eleanor's life.
