With Eleanor assuming the role of the architect, the group adapts to the challenges facing them when four test subjects inhabit a new neighbourhood under their supervision. 

Eleanor, Michael, Janet and Tahani have their hands full when the new residents begin to show their true colours; Jason receives some unsettling news. 

Michael and Eleanor discover something troubling and turn to an unusual source for help; Tahani lends her expertise to assist with one of the new residents. 

Uncertainty abounds when an unexpected visitor arrives and makes a shocking claim, causing the group to doubt whom they can trust. 

Michael and Jason hatch a plan; Eleanor learns firsthand the difficulties of running the neighbourhood. 

Eleanor, Michael and the others try to help Brent grow after he writes an offensive book. One of the humans finds out Jason's true identity. 

It's the final day of the experiment, but Eleanor is nervous and wants to do one last "point grab" before the clock strikes midnight. Meanwhile, Tahani throws an elegant party and Chidi is faced with one final ethical dilemma. 

The group await the Judge's final decision on the fate of human existence after Michael's eloquent appeal. Eleanor reveals her final plan. 

With only an hour left, Chidi must find answers by looking at his past, including his many afterlives, before he can provide the help that everyone needs. 

As the judge keeps searching for the device in Janets' voids to reboot the Earth, Janet delays the judge long enough for Michael and the others to come up with an alternative new afterlife system. 

In the Bad Place, Michael, the others, and Shawn introduce the new system to a group of demon architects and tell how to devise tests for humans to make ethical decisions, which proves difficult for them at first. 

Arriving at a new place, Michael receives an unexpected honour. Meanwhile, the rest of the group explores - and learns a shocking truth. 

The new system is working and Michael works with the Joint Council of Afterlife Affairs to smooth out kinks in the system. Meanwhile, Jason and Tahani move on, and Eleanor tries to influence Chidi.
