** A non-pun or spoonerism example is the guy who asks Chidi if he wants to meet God. His character is named Damon after Creator/DamonLindelof who created ''Series/{{Lost}}'' and ''Series/TheLeftovers'', which were influences on ''The Good Place''. His character is actually a reference to an unseen character wearing a red bandana from the latter.

* AllForNothing: Due to Janet and Michael's carelessness, they are forced to admit the truth to the Brainy Bunch. Because they now know how the afterlife works, whatever ethically positive motivations will all be corrupt and rendered meaningless, thus all the time Michael and Janet spent trying to get them into the Good Place the old-fashioned way, the fates of their friends' souls and the risks in becoming fugitives on Earth were also rendered meaningless.

* CentralTheme: Once the characters discover their fates and the AwfulTruth that there is nothing they can do to change it, the episode separates into multiple plotlines as each character deals with this in different ways. Eleanor attempts to revert to TheHedonist only to find herself obligated to return a missing wallet, [[BeingGoodSucks get further items to return that increase her burden]] only to find [[GoodFeelsGood immense gratitude from the recipient that makes it worthwhile]]. Tahani and Jason decide to get married and [[ItsAllJunk go on a charity spree]]. Chidi wallows in depression, creates a chili/candy concoction for no reason and [[ApatheticTeacher loses all enthusiasm for teaching]]. But giving a quick summation to his class he outlines the different ethical theories demonstrated: Jason was good for consequences, Tahani was good for intuition and Eleanor was good out of social obligation, while he had become consumed with [[TheNihilist nihilism]]. Eleanor's story though gave her a personal discovery, that if your life has an end then [[TheAntiNihilist it only makes sense to do what is right]].

* TrivialTitle: This episode concerns the human foursome learning the truth about the afterlife, and their reaction to the bad news that now they're doomed to go back to the Bad Place. "Jeremy Bearimy" is just the name for how the TimeyWimeyBall works in the afterlife; its only relevence to the plot is that the dot over the "i" in Bearimy is the final straw that [[HeroicBSOD breaks' Chidi's sanity]].
