What a clever episode! The plot where Michael and Janet visit Doug was funny, but also had some clear themes about how worrying too much about, well, anything, can you get so caught up in the wrong things. It applies to "trying to be a good person" but also really any other area of life that you might hyper-focus on. I think there are real instances where trying to be too good (and therefore naive) can be a bad thing. I liked Chidi's plot with learning to let go and play anything-goes-pool. And then somehow the episode became super plot-relevant with an actual demon attack, and Janet leading a fight scene was hilarious, they really figured out every possible clever thing they could do with her in that scene. I like that the series may be heading into a plot direction of actually changing how humans are considered to be good or not - I think there's room for some actual depth there, since as Michael said, people can change, and also people may do "bad" actions due to the environment they grew up in, without actually being bad people.
