Yada, yada, yada

Tahani encourages Michael to exercise his assertiveness against Trevor from the Bad Place, as he's convinced Eleanor (the fake one) deserves to stay in the Good Place. I loved the Real Eleanor's reference to Seinfeld (yada, yada, yada) which was kind of a poke in the eye to the yada, yada, yada Seinfeld trope.

Tahani discover's Jason's secret, and the Ariana Grande reference was hilariously creepy.

Filled with cliches and makes no sense

The big point in this episode makes absolutely no sense. In the previous episode, the bad guys threatened to keep the good Eleanor in the bad place if the bad Eleanor didn't go with them. Yet, somehow, now they just leave both of them in the good place? How can that happen? The show sets some kind of a rule and then immediately the rule does not apply anymore. A clear example of lazy, incoherent and senseless writing.

Other than that, the writers have, sadly, decided to go for all of the tired old cliches: the good guys are wimps, the bad guys can do whatever they want to them. And Michael, the architect of the good place, for some reason, has the intellectual capacity of a baby that has been repeatedly dropped on its head. One good joke in the whole episode (Who are they going to trust, me or a woman?) and the rest of it is painful to watch.
