(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Thursday’s episode of “The Good Place.”)
Depending on how you look at it, Thursday’s midseason finale of “The Good Place” spans either 300 years or however long it takes a glass of Duval ditch water to hit the floor. In either case, Chidi has been through enough that the version of himself who wakes up from his afterlife-induced coma at the end of the episode is unlike any version of the character we’ve seen before.
Having regained all of his memories from every one of the show’s many timelines, Chidi comes out of his deep sleep having relived each and every time his trademark neuroses and indecisiveness have failed him — from losing his seat in class to derailing his romantic relationships — in, essentially, the blink of an eye.
