After the revelation at the end of last week's episode that Eleanor's mom is in fact alive, Eleanor and Michael take a road trip back to Nevada to pay Donna a little visit. Whilst Eleanor does have unfinished business with one of her parents and is working to get Donna into The Good Place, much like Jason with Donkey Doug last week, their reunion is nowhere near as amicable as what we were treated to last week.
The trip to Nevada allows us to see a side to Eleanor we don't usually get to see, a more vulnerable one that allows her to connect more to Michael and open up more about her family and what she wants from the relationships in her life.
Elsewhere, in Hungary, the other four are visiting Kamilah's art installation in hopes that Tahani can make things right with her sister, but will Kamilah's superiority complex and Tahani's hurt feelings triumph over Tahani doing the right thing? They very may well do, as Kamilah seems unwilling to accept Tahani's attempts at a truce, leading Tahani to feel a little bit destructive.
Their competitive relationship is further explored and given definition through the use of flashbacks, so if you do want to learn more about Tahani's childhood then buckle up. With these last two episodes, the newly minted Soul Squad have come explored some of their most fraught familial/close connections, so it'll be interesting to see what they might do with Chidi going forward, especially with what is divulged at the end of this episode and how that may be dealt with.
The Good Place airs tonight at 8.30 on NBC. Do you think the Soul Squad will ever end up in the real Good Place? Let me know in the comments.
And until you watch the episode, here are a few of some of the funny lines in
'A Fractured Inheritance':
-
"All my fears are mine again."
-
"You're the boobs?"
