Quote from Michael in ...Someone Like Me as a Member
Michael: Fake Eleanor, a word? Eleanor: It's just me, man. You can just say, "Eleanor." Michael: Sorry, it just makes things easier. Look, I'm not even sure how it would work for you to stay here now that we know there's a real Eleanor, but in the meantime, stay on your toes. Don't let Trevor get inside your head. Eleanor: Can I ask you something? Why are you helping me? Michael: Well, Chidi made a very good argument on your behalf, but it's more than that. I truly believe that the Good Place is where you belong. You're part of our team.
