Chapter 25: The Burrito is the 12th episode of Season 2 of The Good Place.
Plot[]
Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani and Jason consider just how much they have (or have not) improved. Michael is left to deal with the consequences of his recent actions.
Summary[]
Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason make it to the residence of the immortal, all-knowing Judge - a cheerful TV addict named Hydrogen, or Gen for short - and try to convince her that they are worthy of being in the Good Place. Intrigued by the foursome and feeling bored with not having any cases to preside over, Gen decides to test them to see if they truly have improved. The humans agree that if one of them fails her test, then they all go to the Bad Place.
Jason is shown a football video game set where he must play against his favorite team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. He immediately sits down to play, disregarding Gen's instructions. It's only later when she comes back to check on him does he realize that the test was supposed to measure his immaturity and impulse control and he was never supposed to play the game to begin with.
Tahani's test has her walking down towards the end of a hallway where every room is filled with her servants, help, and celebrity friends talking about their true opinions of her. She manages to ignore every single door except for the one marked with her parents' names. Her resolve crumbles and she enters the room. Even in death, her parents keep expressing their disapproval of her and their favoritism towards Kamilah. Tahani realizes she was never going to be good enough for them, and leaves the room.
Eleanor is told that she and Chidi passed their tests and can go to the Good Place, no strings attached, and now have to decide whether or not to leave Jason and Tahani behind. Puzzled over what to do, Chidi suggests abandoning their friends and ethics and achieving happiness together. Eleanor recognizes immediately that he's not the real Chidi and decides against going to the Good Place, and passes.
Chidi's test has him choosing between two different hats. He takes an hour and a half to pick one. He's failed his test as well, as there was no right or wrong answer and he just needed to pick one and get on with it. This means that all of them save Eleanor failed their tests, so they're going to the Bad Place.
While all this is going on, Shawn leads Michael to his torture chamber. Since "The Eternal Shriek" would be far too public for the coverup Shawn is attempting, Michael will instead be trapped in an empty room with no other forms of entertainment other than an endless stack of New Yorker magazines. He orders Bad Janet to unleash one of her signature farts, but then Bad Janet throws him against the wall and reveals herself to be Good Janet in disguise. Michael and Janet make a break for it and wind up in the Judge's chambers just as Gen is about to send off the team.

Trivia[]
- In one of the rooms Tahani passes are supposed to contain people talking about her, it is not possible for Freddie Mercury and Winston Churchill to occupy a room, when Churchill died in 1965, about 20 years before Tahani was born, if Tahani is about the same age as the actress playing her. Jameela Jamil was born in 1986.
- On one of the doors in the corridor Tahani walks through, Quvenzhané Wallis' name is misspelled as "Quevenzhané".
