Michael, Janet, Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani and Jason are ready for the reboot of the neighborhood, Michael and Janet outwardly performing the functions they had the previous go 'rounds, with the four humans hoping that their presence will result in what happened the previous times, namely that they can help transform the four recently deceased humans Shawn has chosen for this experiment into good people who deserve to spend their eternity in the Good Place. Things don't go quite according to plan as there is much more at stake emotionally for all six of them this time around - Michael and Janet who had no human emotion when they did it under the Bad Place experiment - knowing eternity for them and for the human race is on the line, some who may be more mentally equipped than others for what is to come.
