Ep 1. A Girl from Arizona

In The Good Place season 4 episode 1, titled "A Girl from Arizona," we are introduced to a new character named Simone, a neuroscientist who has spent her life studying the human brain and consciousness. She is brought into the afterlife by the Judge to conduct a study on the humans who have ended up in the Good Place.

Meanwhile, Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason are grappling with the revelation that they are not actually in the Good Place, but rather in the Bad Place, being tortured by demons. Michael has been revived as a human and is helping them all navigate their new circumstances.

As the group tries to navigate this new reality, someone unexpected shows up at their door. It is none other than Janet, who has been rebooted multiple times and has somehow gained the ability to feel human emotions and experiences. She tells the group that she needs their help to save the universe, but does not go into much detail about what that entails.

The episode is full of twists, turns, and plenty of humor as we watch the characters navigate their new reality and try to figure out their purpose in the afterlife. We also get a glimpse into Simone's past and how her study could have a major impact on the fate of all humans in the afterlife.

Overall, "A Girl from Arizona" sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting and unpredictable season filled with humor, heart, and thought-provoking philosophical discussions about the meaning of life and the afterlife.
