After more than 800 reboots, the other demons (led by Vicky, who had previously pretended to be the "real" Eleanor), revolt against Michael and threaten to inform his boss Shawn about the repeated failures if he doesn't put them in charge . He outwardly agrees but teams up with the group to defeat Vicky and attempt to earn them all, including Michael, a place in the real Good Place . As a condition, Michael has to agree to take ethics lessons from Chidi like the rest of the group . </P> <P> When Shawn returns and unexpectedly declares the experiment a success (due to Michael's fake reports), he orders the humans to be brought to the real Bad Place and the neighborhood destroyed .

When Michael reveals that the Judge resides in a separate space that can only be reached by a portal in the Bad Place, the group ventures through the Bad Place offices to find it . They make it to the portal, and Michael sacrifices himself for the others, allowing himself to be captured by Shawn . </P> <P> The Judge (Gen, short for hydrogen) decides to hear the group out and administers them tests which play to their weaknesses . All fail except Eleanor, and are sentenced to the Bad Place when Michael, who escaped with Janet's help, arrives . Michael explains to the Judge that the point system used is flawed because the humans became better people after their death, which shouldn't be possible . When Gen points out they only did so because they wanted a reward (the Good Place), Michael convinces her to send them all back to Earth moments before their deaths . The show then chronicles Eleanor's attempt to become a better person after her now near - death experience . After a false start, Michael intervenes and points Eleanor in the direction of Chidi .
