The Good Place Season 3 Episode 6 Recap: Fractured Inheritance

She suspects everything, she is searching through the little girls things looking for the stash of cash and trying to figure out the angle. Her mother “Diana” is running for treasurer of the PTA and shouting out her amazing stepdaughter– yea we all know where this is going. Michael tries hard to get Eleanor to see, maybe she is just fine – and he hits it off with Dave since they are both “architects” well they are both architects but, I just feel like there may be slight differences in their job descriptions.

Eleanor doesn’t want to admit it but this is the mom she never got to have, all the love, the acting like a responsible adult, yea… Eleanor didn’t get that, instead she got the mom that faked her death and abandoned her eeeek. This whole thing even had my skeptical self fooled, I was like she is already reformed, and now Eleano…
