Eleanor, Jason, and Janet escape to a "Medium Place" inhabited by Mindy St. Claire, an 80's attorney who generally led a selfish life, but whose actions just prior to her death led to a massive global charity being formed. Meanwhile, Shawn proceeds with his trial on Eleanor and Jason, with Chidi, Tahani, Michael, and real Eleanor trying to argue in Eleanor's favor. Ultimately, Shawn judges against Eleanor and Jason, decreeing that, if the two don't return, Chidi and Tahani will be sentenced to go to the Bad Place in their stead. Eleanor eventually convinces Jason and Janet to return in order to spare Chidi and Tahani from that fate. Flashbacks show the day of Eleanor's death, the day Eleanor got emancipated from her parents, and various other moments in Eleanor's life.
