So my mom is alive, and she lives here.

Why didn't you tell me sooner, man?

I had already told you that you died

and that I had tortured you
for centuries

and that you're doomed
to be tortured again.

I just didn't want to be,
like, a bummer.

But now you know everything
important about your life.

I promise.

A police officer came to my
home and told me that my mom

had been accidentally trampled
to death when she bent down

to adjust her toe ring
at a Rascal Flatts concert.

That police officer was an actor.

See, about a month before,
your mom had gotten drunk,

wandered into a charity auction,

and bid $30,000 for a date
with Gene Simmons,

outbidding everyone else by $29,800.

She didn't want to pay,
so she faked her death,

moved to Nevada, and reinvented
herself as Diana Tremaine.

Diana Tremaine is my fake ID name.

- I...
- [gasps]

How dare she steal the identity I stole?

Look, I know this is a lot to take in,

but we're here to help your
mom get into the Good Place.

Whatever you're feeling,
remember, this is not about you.

Right. [knock at door]

How could you do this to me?

[light music]

Yay, you found me.

What the hell, Mom?

Okay, baby, I can explain everything.

Let's all just take a breath.

You haven't even introduced me

to this stretched-out, sexy Alex Trebek.

I'm Michael.
It's nice to meet you, Donna.

Oh, uh, it's Diana now
for, you know, police reasons.

By the way, whose McMansion is this?

My boyfriend Dave's.

He's kind of a dork
but real sweet and so fancy.

His napkins are made
out of, like, shirt material.

Cloth.

Okay, now this is making sense.

You change your name, bag a
rich loser with a tacky house.

I get it. You're running a scam.

No, baby, this is as real as the nails

under my acrylic nails.

- I'm a different person.
- Spare me.

You will always
be sun-baked Arizona trash,

- and I know that...
- [door opens]

because I grew up
baking right beside you.

Oh, jeez, I didn't know we had company.

- Hey. Hi, I'm Dave.
- Michael.

Of course you're Dave.

Hey, Dave, you and I need to
have a little conversation.

- Diana!
- Oh, hey.

Who the hell is this chick?

This is my little potato pie, Patricia.

And who might you be, by the way?

Eleanor is my sorority sister.

Right. Good old Kappa Zeta... Jones.

- Oh.
- [giggles]

I can't believe I have to wait
in line to see my own sister.

I have never waited in
any kind of formation before,

let alone a line.

Wow. Is this whole room just her work?

Don't be fooled, Chidi.
Kamilah is a charlatan.

All she has to do is paint some
dumb shapes, and people go mad.

Those aren't dumb shapes.
They're a pair of boobs.

And then two extra side boobs.

It symbolizes that boobs come
in all shapes and sizes

and distances apart.

Ugh. Maybe we should just go.

There are plenty of other
people I could help,

like my good friend Ben Affleck

and his crippling addiction
to back tattoos,

or my other good friend Matt Damon

and his crippling addiction
to my friend Ben Affleck.

It's important that you make amends.

Your competitive
relationship with Kamilah

is largely the reason you
didn't get into the Good Place.

It stands to reason that
the same would be true for her.

Fine. But the waiting is over.

Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.

Tahani, were you waiting
in line to see me?

That's hilarious.

As a frog stares up in awe
at the tree top,

so, too, does humanity gawk

at the purity of a blinding truth.

Napkins and forks are in the back.

So making omelets is art now, is it?

Not that I'd expect you to understand,

but it's a commentary
on the world's fascination

with subservience, consumption,
death, and pedagogy.

Cheddar or Swiss?

Oh, no, I don't want an omelet.

I just came for a quick sisterly chat.

[bell jingles]

My sister, Tahani,
refuses to order an omelet.

[people gasp, shout]

As a result, the exhibit is now over

and will never be shown again.

- There will be no refunds.
- [crowd murmuring]

_

_

_

[sighs]

_

_

Hey, now. I just checked my Apple Watch,

and it's marg-o-clock. [laughs]

So, Michael, what do you do?

Ah, well, uh, I'm an architect.

- Get out of here. Me too.
- Ah.

Dave's real good.

You should see the new Hooters on I-15.

It looks classy, like a bank.

So how did you two love-rats meet?

Oh, it's a fun story.

I was working on this project
tearing down a condemned bar

called the Desert Rash.

I went in to meet with the contractors,

and Diana is sitting at the bar
drinking a 7 and 7 and 7.

7 shots of Seagram's 7 in 7 minutes.

It's Diana's morning drink.

Oh, that's right, it was
very early in the morning.

- [chuckles]
- Well, this little spitfire

finds out it's me

who's closing down the bar.

Next thing I know,
she's got a knife to my face.

[laughter]

I would have been scared
if she hadn't been

the most gorgeous thing
I've ever seen in my life.

Oh. One thing leads to
another, and all of a sudden,

we're playing tonsil tennis
on a broken toilet

- in the alley out back.
- Cute.

So how did you
and Eleanor become friends?

Let's just say that we "lived"

in the same "neighborhood."

Oh. [chuckles]

What a fun way
to say a normal thing, right?

Well, I've got to go get ready.

Today is PTA elections,
and I'm running for secretary.

And she's a shoo-in, too.

Hey, Patty, we got to get ready, okay?

I know we came here to set
your mom on a better path,

but I think she's doing pretty great.

Please. She's completely full of it.

I am gonna find out

what kind of scam
Donna Shellstrop is running,

and I am gonna take her down...

right after I finish this awesome drink.

Man, Dave's margaritas are amazing.

- Right?
- Yeah.

And I'm not even a tequila guy.

Wow.

So this is what a museum looks like.

If you look at this painting closely,

you can really notice
the interpretation.

I know you're just being silly

and effortlessly charming,

but you actually just picked
the most valuable painting

in the entire museum.

As of last year, that work was
valued at $39.2 million.

Oh, snap, I forgot you know everything.

How much is that one worth?

That one is worth $13.7 million.

That one's got a bunch of colors.

That's got to add some value.

Can we do this for all the paintings?

Look, I've had a sort
of revelation about the world,

and I'd like to take responsibility

for my part in our fraught history.

For whatever hurt I've caused you...

I sincerely apologize.

Thank you.

I do not accept your apology.

Is that all, then?

[scoffs]

Well... [chuckling angrily]

- Ooh!
- [gasps]

_

_

_

[groans angrily]

Check out what Dave gave me...

plans for a Subaru
dealership/burlesque club

he's designing in Reno.

Man, Nevada's a mess.

What are you doing?

Searching for the tell-tale sign

of a Donna Shellstrop scam...

a pile of cash hidden somewhere

so she can grab it
and head out on the run.

When the time comes,
she will rip this guy off

and disappear like Keyser Soze,

right after he admitted
to groping all those people.

Why are you in my room?

Oh, hey, girl. What's up?

How old are you... three?

- I'm nine.
- Cool.

I don't know anything about kids.

Hey, has Diana ever made you
hide, like, a special treasure

in any of your toys?

No, Diana's very nice to me.

She bought me most
of these stuffed animals.

[gasps] Oh, wow. Neat.

Mind if I give them just
a little surgery just to check?

Okay, okay, okay,
all right, Doc McStuffins,

let's get you some fresh air.

So sorry.

She's a kid.
You can't disembowel her toys.

Fine. New plan.

You casually mention that
you're rich and seduce Donna.

When she goes for you,

it will prove that this
whole thing is a sham.

First things first, do you have a penis?

I will not seduce Donna.

For one thing, I could never do
that to my pal, Dave.

It goes against the architect's code.

Also, your mother seems happy here.

The Donna I know

wouldn't be caught dead in
this suburban boredom factory.

She's scamming them.

Look, believe me, don't believe me...

I don't care. I'm gonna prove it.

Young lady, you will stop this nonsense.

Go to the PTA meeting
and support your mother.

I won't hear another word about it.

What the hell was that?

Well, I was going

for the "stern but,
you know, caring dad" vibe.

No? Didn't work?

No, not even close...
like, not in the ballpark.

I was trying something, Eleanor.
Give me a break.

Until Kamilah accepts my apology

this open wound will hinder
any progress she might make

toward getting into the Good Place.

Also, I'm going to strangle her,

which will hinder any air
from getting into her lungs.

- Can I talk to her?
- [sighs]

Maybe we should try
a little third-party mediation.

[indistinct chatter]

Uh, hi.

I'm Tahani's friend, Chidi.

Chidi is an Igbo
word that means "God exists."

That's right

Sorry, I don't know the
etymology of your name, but...

All of your fears are now mine.

[mystical music]

- What did she say?
- What?

I don't know. Sorry.

I got distracted. She's amazing.

All of my fears are hers now.

Of course they are.

Um...

I sincerely apologize to you

because I have matured
into a fully formed adult

with empathy and self-awareness.

But if you don't accept my apology,

I will smash your stupid
art exhibit into bits.

More Tahani theatrics
with zero follow-through?

You don't have it in you
to do anything that bold,

because I'm the one
who got the boldness gene

and the good-eyebrow gene.

[gasps, shouts]

Oh! Oh, no. All my fears are mine again.

Hey, Davey, can you believe
the design of this room?

Auditorium? More like Audi-bore-me-um.

[laughter]

Savage.

Hello, I'm Diana Tremaine.

I never thought I'd run for PTA board.

For most of my life,
I preferred to crawl...

pub crawl.

[laughter]

But now I want to make sure kids in this

decommissioned-military-
bombing-test-site-

turned-suburban-township

get the best education
Nevada has to offer.

[scoffs] What's that...
always double down on 11?

Also, there is a pretty great
kid who goes to this school,

and I want to make
this place great for her.

- Stand up, sweetheart.
- [applause]

Well, it was the first
Hooters ever made out of brick,

sort of inspired by Monticello.

- Hey, mark.
- Oh, no, it's Dave.

Oh, I know your name.
I'm calling you a mark.

Easy.

I got news for you, dad-bod.

The woman you know
as Diana Tremaine is really

Donna Shellstrop, my much older mother.

She faked her death
and changed her name.

Sorry to burst your bubble,
but that's the deal.

I already knew all that, Eleanor.

Your mother told me everything
the first night we met.

The first night?

Well, no, not the first night, actually.

That was mostly sex. [chuckles]

Your mother is a very confident
and selfish lover.

- Yikes.
- No, no, no, it's perfect for me

'cause I don't know what I want.

But anyway, the next morning
she told me everything.

And we're gonna tell Patricia
once she's a little bit older.

For now, everything is going great.

No, dude, you don't know my mom.

She used to put, like,
50 things in a shopping cart,

then go to the "12 items or less" aisle,

scream "rat," and run out
the door without paying.

She is a liar.

Well, listen, she has been
nothing but honest with me.

And I like that she's got a wild streak.

It kind of gets my motor running.

Tell you the truth...

she's turning me
into a bit of a bad boy.

I mean, who am I... Avril Lavigne?

[men laugh]

[mysterious music]

Oh, I get it.

Coming clean was all part of the scam.

It's brilliant because
he thinks she's honest.

So, when she runs off
with all his money,

he'll never see it coming.

Come on, Eleanor.

I changed, you changed,
maybe she changed, too.

No, no way.

Why can't you accept
that she might be living

a good, honest life?

That she's an attentive
partner and a good mom?

Because I wanted that mom.

I wanted the mom
who made me afternoon snacks

instead of just telling
me to look for loose fries

in the McDonald's ball pit.

Why does Patricia get that mom?

If Donna Shellstrop has truly changed,

then that means she was
always capable of change,

but I just wasn't worth changing for.

I know as your self-appointed
father figure,

I'm supposed to say
something comforting here,

but I'm... I'm kind of stumped.

Okay, final tally...

43 votes for Diana Tremaine,

12 votes for Eileen Capshaw,

and one vote for Bofa Deeznutz.

God, don't look at me like that.

You're not my real dad.

Congratulations, Madam Secretary.

It's so crazy, right?

I'm gonna need to get a calculator

and maybe a globe.

I don't really understand the job.

Listen, um, I'm sorry

that I didn't think
this whole thing was real.

I just never thought I'd see the day

when you made a commitment to...

anything.

I was wrong.

Thank you, baby. That means a lot.

- Let me help you.
- No, no, no, not that one!

Not that one! No, sorry, sorry.

This powder is only for my delicates.

You don't wash your bras.

No. No.

[gasps] I knew it.

My mother is a con artist.

Got ya.

So, before I'm tortured
in the afterlife,

I get to spend the rest of this life

in a Hungarian prison
for destruction of art.

That's fun.

Destruction of extremely derivative art.

Kamilah's work has been
mediocre for years.

Mother and Father
are probably rolling over

in their cryogenic chambers.

Really? You don't think they
would be proud of her

for having a whole museum wing
dedicated to her work?

My parents' standards
were incredibly high,

and they were impossible to please.

Plus, they always pitted

my sister and me against each other.

The two of them were a unit,

and Kamilah and I...

Diana Tremaine, you little devil.

New name, same game.

Fine. Things have been going
good with me and Dave,

but sometimes I sneak a little
bit of cash out of his wallet,

and I hide it away, just
in case everything blows up

and I need to skip town.

Are you happy?

Actually, no, I'm not happy,

but I think you are.

You're holding on to this exit strategy,

telling yourself that
you can bail at any time,

but the truth is...

you love this suburban life.

I don't love it so much.

I am not basic. Ya basic.

No, Mom.

Ya basic.

And that's okay.

Let me ask you something.

Why are you wearing yoga pants?

Well, on Tuesday nights,
I do restorative yoga

with a bunch of moms
from Patty's school.

And what do you do after yoga?

We split avocado egg rolls
at the Cheesecake Factory,

but we also drink.

- What do you drink?
- Chardonnay...

- with ice cubes.
- [sighs]

And after one glass, I get sleepy,

so I usually switch to water
so I can drive home...

like a nerd!

Hey, hey...

[chuckles] It's okay.

It's good. You're happy here.

But you need to commit to this...

which means getting rid
of that stash of escape money.

And I think you know
what you have to do with it.

Send it to Gene Simmons?

What? No.

Spend it on Patricia.

Set up a college fund, buy her a crib...

or a car.

I truly don't know anything about kids,

but this is your chance
to break the chain

of Shellstrop
mother-daughter crappiness.

You have a do-over.

Use it.

Oh, baby.

It seems like you've turned
into a really good person,

and you clearly didn't get that from me,

so props to whoever helped you.

Is there more cash in your bra?

Always. It's why I don't wash them.

I still can't believe that
police officer pulled you over

just to tell you that
you were driving perfectly.

Why not? I was.

There is an article in the paper

about Kamilah's latest art installation.

And look...

"A Fractured Inheritance"

by Kamilah Al-Jamil and Tahani Al-Jamil.

Gosh, that was very big of her...

though she really should have
named the piece

"Buried Hatchet," don't you think?

Such a better title.

I'm going to call her and rub it in.

Maybe don't... for now.

Yes. Smart.

- Good luck, buddy.
- [chuckles]

Oh, hey, I almost forgot.

I sketched you up a little something...

some ideas there for your project.

- Wow.
- [chuckles]

Well, this is more than a few ideas.

You solved the whole thing...
columns and porticos.

Uh-oh.

[laughing] Looks like you
forgot to include bathrooms.

Oops. Ah, just a little oversight.

I certainly use the bathroom
like anybody else.

I love to sit on the... the thing

and just, you know, shoot one out.

Eleanor, I'll be in the car.

It was really nice
to meet you, Patricia.

Got a lot of people
who care about you here.

And good luck with the...

- SATs.
- I'm nine.

Whatever, good luck in school.

You get it.

The others are on their way
back from Budapest.

We'll be picking them up in a few hours.

Oh, be happy.

Your mom found a better path
all on her own,

and you definitely helped Patricia.

Double happy ending.

I know. I'm just... I'm a little sad.

I'm glad my mom has changed,

but that doesn't fix
all the damage she did to me.

Let's face it... she's the reason

I could never get close to anyone.

I never even told
a boyfriend I love him.

Oh, crap. Um...

you remember how I told you
that you knew

everything important about your life?

Well, I-I wasn't thinking
about your afterlife life.

In one of the reboots,
you and Chidi fell in love...

deeply, and you told him
that you loved him,

and he told you that he loved you back.

We did what, now?

You want to listen to a podcast maybe?
