Knowing Janet would be the only constant and she can't eat anything, Eleanor writes down a simple phrase and puts it in Janets' mouth. After the reset and Eleanor is alone for the first time, Janet gives her the paper which simply says "To Eleanor - Find Chidi."

** While Eleanor and Jasons' flaws are easily apparent, the reason Chidi and Tahani were also in the Bad Place is set up by connecting their {{flashback}}s over the season with the established rules of what it means to be good.

Tahani being TheUnfavorite means nothing as Eleanor had AbusiveParents she [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse couldn't pass the blame to]] and her charity work was for innately selfish reasons.
