OH SNAP.

I think someone in the thread thought about this, but it was dismissed immediately.

In this case, I think only Jason would've been the one to figure it out. I knew the lack of "Not a girl" was a bit off.

her forgetting to say 'not a girl' was the clincher imo

Ha, well done show. I did catch that she didn't say "Not a girl." I thought that was odd, but Janet has seemingly been so much more human recently that I wondered if she dropped that.

Maybe it's actually Janet and Bad Janet is the one actually handling the neighborhood now (signaled by her texting during the entire scene)

What were the various stages? A firetruck passed by and I got, "slug monster, spooky girl, teenage boy, :siren:, social media CEO, and finally, demon."

At one point there was an episode where we got to see another demon without its human suit on (not the fire rock one we've seen a few times). Does anyone remember what episode that was? I wanna see it again.

Thankee kindly.
So if Michael is still really Michael, then what's with Eleanor's very valid suspicion that he still wanted them to have a slumber party instead of working?

Also they could still have called in the judge now that they have actual proof that The Bad Place screwed with the experiment again. It means resetting it but The Bad Place gets extra punished, so.

Plus the Accountant is noting all this down, right?

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
I also like Jason's plan - Shawn can probably counter most human plans or retaliations, but Jason doesn't really think about his actions beyond "Go to The Bad Place, belt Shawn, Get Janet Back" so he'll probably be hard to predict.

I noticed that too! I am now officially as smart as Jason.

I also I think I liked the episode the most of the season. The other episodes were a bit slow.

I loved the closing lines:
Michael "Let's go get our girl back.."
Jason "Not a girl."

Also I like Michael's anxiety about his true form - he needs to realise that the Humans as they know him will probably accept any form - he wouldn't just be a juicy burning fire squid to them, he'd be the fire squid who worked tirelessly to help their entire species. If he was in a location far away from the neighborhood, his fear would be the only reason not to let his firey tentacles down. There'd be an initial shock, but they'd get over that once his tentacles ripped Shawn in half. Ted really sold that scene too with his voice breaking as he fears that he'll lose them just by describing his true form.

If there's one thing the Good Place is good at (and it's good at a lot), it's not dragging things out too long.

A missed opportunity, honestly. What I wouldn't give to have seen them do that routine.

... another missed opportunity. It would have been cool to see Shawn give a totally different read on the whole "Jason? Oh... this is a new low point. This one hurts." Or something. What can I say? I like callbacks.

Yeah, the closing lines were cool. And Jason really cleans up well. But they'd have to get pretty far away from the neighborhood for Michael to take off his skin suit without alerting the Janetbabies. Didn't Michael say he's 6,000 feet tall? The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is 600 feet tall, and it doesn't glow. Even on a somewhat hazy day, you can see it over 10 miles away. I would imagine that something made of fire that was 10 times taller would be harder to miss.

... speaking of Janetbabies... was Bad Janet controlling them? Or have they been controlling themselves? Maybe Derek? Marble Janet?

Michael turning back to a demon while they're in the Bad Place and that giving Jason a chance to witness it is pretty smooth, tbh

According to the podcast, in the writer's room one of the writers objected to Michael's true form being 6,000 feet tall because that makes him ten (ish? I don't remember the actual factor) times taller than Godzilla.

He'll find out. And he'll be so annoyed.

He also might try and turn Jason but Jason is a pure and good boy who can BS his way through some of the dumber demons.

I'm still digesting that twist, not sure where I fall on it, but now it does raise the question of whether or not Janet doing anything Brent wanted her to do was an act by Bad Janet.

He has a valid point if they've been running themselves hard this whole time. Also Michael isn't always the best font of good ideas.

I think marbling was always reversible. It just needed someone external to do it.
