A malevolent demon who might just be the single most dangerous creature in the universe!
But never forgetStep Brothers;never forgetTorque.
He sends dank memes to Eleanor.

He prints everyone cool matching sweatshirts, proclaiming that their squad is the Brainy Bunch.
Trevors arrival, then, is nothing less than Hell on Earth.
you’re free to sit at state-themed tables (Florida absolutely nails the swamp stench!)
or it’s possible for you to purchase the Manifest Destiny package.
They sell one drink (or is it food?)
thats half an Apple Pie blended with Southern Comfort and Coca-Cola, served in a Chevy Hubcap.
Australians of the future will tell their grandchildren after the waves come.
Trevor tries various gambits to shake up the group.
He suggests everyone get an apartment.
He does a Jamaican accent.
Eleanors not buying what hes selling, but maybe thats part of Trevors plan.
Eleanor felt good about the study when she was working one-on-one with Chidi.
Now its a team effort, and shes not so sure aboutanyone, really.
Michael and Janet prepare an opposition.
Janet doesnt react well to her Earthbound existence.
Her knowledge has stopped updating.
She cant conjure anything out of thin air.
Whats an omniscient omni-powerful beingless being to do?
Meanwhile, one bit of Trevors psychological warfare really gets through to Chidi.
NEXT: The Librarian Returns
I had a vague concern going intoThe Good Placeseason 3.
(And season 3s overall mission statement to KEEP THE GROUP TOGETHER feels veryCommunity.)
Its a sitcom Earth, of course, vastly funnier and web link-TV brighter than our own decaying orb.
But a couple elements inthe season premierehit a tonal uncanny valley for me.
Michael being able to brainwash everyone into flying down to Australia for an academic study: Sure.
Jason just kinda suddenly appearing in Australia: Hm.
The second episode proof-of-concepts the resurrection twist for me.
The cast is all together in a familiar dynamic under radically different circumstances.
But the results feel new, alive with possibility.
Michael appears to Chidi in his librarian guise and quickly tries to offer not-particularly-helpful advice.
The day after the great American drink-off, Chidi is in a bad way.
He hasnt slept; hes worried his personal friendships will spoil the study.
Simone assures him he is overreacting and promises to tell him if he crosses any lines.
When Eleanor doesnt show up, Chidi makes a decision, choosing to go to her motel room.
His entreaty to her is complicated.
Hes not just sayingHelp Me Help You, hes also beggingHelp Me Help You Help Me.
My whole life has been a torture chamber of indecision, he says.
Im finally on the path to understanding why.
Game, set, match: Michael and Janet!
Eat that, Trevor!
The Judge quickly casts Trevor into the void, where he belongs.
But its Michael and Janet who get the full force of her rage.
Shes not happy with all the meddling.
It seems theres a butterfly effect power whenever someone from Places beyond comes down to Earth.
Bringing the foursome together has caused weird stuff, the Judge says.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are good now.
That weird circus musical made 400 million dollars.
Byron Allen owns the Weather Channel!
Folding even one bit of that turmoil (Brexit!)
Which, dark, so now time for some visual humor!
Good luck, Frogman, the Doorman says, Im pulling for you.
Thanks, Jeff, says Michael, bringing Janet with him on a mad escape to Earth.
As usual,The Good Placeshows a willingness to keep resetting its own foundations.
Presumably, theyll join the group in some capacity…but how?
