With only one hour left to save humanity, Michael is about to resurrect Chidi upon who their entire hopes rest. In that resurrection, Michael wants to provide him with all his memories - in his Earthly life and many afterlives - in the correct order, which is not as easy as it may appear. If Michael is able to do this, the next question is if Chidi will be able to take all these memories and learn from them for arguably this biggest assignment, the issue being what has plagued him for his entire existence, namely his need to know the answer before taking any action. —Huggo

Trivia
Noel Arthur, who plays Chidi's father, Emeka, is only 3 years older than William Jackson Harper. This is unremarkable, because several of the scenes between Chidi and his father are set earlier in Chidi's life, with Chidi being portrayed by baby or child actors instead of by Harper.

Quotes
Michael: If soulmates do exist, they're not found, they're made. People meet, they get a good feeling, and they get to work building a relationship.

Very boring

Felt like those clipshow episodes. I did not enjoy it one bit, it was very boring. I love Chidy, one of my favorite characters, but not strong enough to have an entire episode for himself.
