Quite a few tropes not actually in use in the episode
Changed line(s) 9,10 (click to see context) from:
* BookEnds: The pilot started with Eleanor asking Chidi to teach her how to be good. The series ends with Michael asking his teacher about guitar chords.
** Michael once created the persona of Jianyu the monk to torture Jason, who couldn't stand any amount of time without the stimulation of video games and partying and drugs to keep him from getting bored. In this episode, Jason spends untold eons of time waiting in the forest by the door peacefully waiting for her to return so he can give her her necklace, in total silence and solitude so as not to disturb the others who've come to leave. As Janet wryly observes, somehow along the way Jason has [[BecomingTheMask become the mask]].

* DidNotGetTheGuy: Zigzagged. Eleanor has eternity with Chidi, but she's not ready to go through the door yet. So she lets him go first, and stays with Tahani, Janet and Michael.

* RippleProofMemory: Michael is allowed to keep his memory of the afterlife despite it compromising his morality points because he helped reform the afterlife, as well as the fact that morality points no longer apply in the new system.

* BittersweetEnding: The new system works and everyone eventually become good enough to enter eternal paradise. Tahani reconciles with her family, who have reformed. Jason, Chidi, and Eleanor, however, choose to walk through the door and experience oblivion, leaving Janet and Tahani behind. Tahani is allowed to intern and become an afterlife architect and seems to take to it. Michael is given permission to be human on Earth, which means he gives up his powers and he won't see Janet and Tahani until he dies and passes the trials in the Bad Place. Even though that means he'll be tortured by Shawn and Vicky, who will definitely have him run the gamut, Michael is excited to be really human and no longer a fire squid. He starts with guitar lessons to master something he wants to do, not something he has to do.

* ChekhovsGun: Jason is the first member of the cast to depart the afterlife for oblivion, and he makes a [[MementoMacGuffin necklace for Janet to remember her by]], but being the same forgetful Jason he loses it on the way to the door in the forest. Janet tells him not to worry about it, since [[TheOmniscient she doesn't need any tokens in order to remember him]], and they have their farewell... Until, in a shocking and surprisingly touching moment, we learn Jason stayed until he found the necklace, and then remained [[TimeAbyss living an eternity of quiet, lonely contemplation in the forest]] until Janet returned with Chidi and he could give it to her, and he and Chidi could leave together.

She tells Mindy that it's because she knows exactly how she feels that she knows leaving the Medium Place will be the right choice for her.
