🎙️🔥 John dives into Season 4, Episode 5 of The Good Place, where the team splits into two dangerous missions: Michael and Jason sneak into the Bad Place to rescue Janet. At the same time, Eleanor and Tahani struggle to keep the fake neighborhood running without Janet’s help.
Expect frantic rescue plans, demon-filled conventions, and the show’s trademark mix of sharp comedy and real stakes—Michael and Jason’s Bad Place infiltration explodes into a chaotic, hilarious showdown, and back home Eleanor must improvise babysitting the new humans (and Derek) to prevent the experiment from collapsing.
John breaks down the episode’s highs: clever disguises, emotional beats (Tahani’s panic about being useful), Janet’s absence creating real managerial chaos, and how the episode balances big plot moves with character moments—then ranks where it lands in his Sitcom Rankings. Tune in for a full breakdown and verdict.
