Michael keeps intervening in the humans' lives to keep the study group going in Australia.

Quote from Tahani

Eleanor: Looks like you had a good night!
Tahani: I did.
Eleanor: You and Jason, imagine that. To be fair, I have.
Tahani: Actually, I was with an ex-boyfriend. I ran into him unexpectedly, and the reunion was a smashing success. It's a pun, you see. We had intercourse.
Eleanor: Yeah, again, I always get it.

Quote from Jason

Tahani: I do feel bad, though. I completely forgot about watching the game with Jason.
Jason: [enters covered in body paint] Homies, guess what? Yesterday I got a Facebook invite to the Australia chapter of the Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Club!
Eleanor: Yeah, I think he's over it.
Jason: Me and two other dudes just watched the Jags annihilate the Texans! It was super fun, I'm completely wasted. I gotta go barf one last time, and then I'll be ready to learn philosophy! Duval!

Quote from Janet

Eleanor: You guys, this whole year has been amazing for all of us. I mean, literally every aspect of our lives has improved.
Chidi: Well, I don't know about every aspect... SuperBoard, activate!
Female Voice: Good morning, Professor Anagonye. I have your lesson plan ready to go.
Tahani: SuperBoard, some triumphant announcement music, please. [fanfare plays] Last night, Larry Hemsworth proposed to me and we're moving back to London to begin planning the wedding!
Eleanor: Whoa! Holy smokes!
[in the observation room:]
Michael: Janet! Red alert! All snowplowing has to stop immediately!
Janet: So, don't give Blake Beartles to Jason?

Quote from Tahani

Tahani: Anyway, everyone, I want you to meet Larry Hemsworth!
Larry Hemsworth: Oh! The legendary study group. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to build up the courage to meet you. I guess you can see why.
Eleanor: Is he ashamed at having a perfect jawline and 0% body fat?
Larry Hemsworth: Still can't believe she wants to marry me... A dumb old paediatric surgeon who barely has an eight-pack.
Chidi: Do you know what you look like?
Jason: More importantly, did Miley Cyrus write the song "Wrecking Ball" about Chris's brother Liam?
Larry Hemsworth: Wonderful. More questions about my talented brothers. God forbid there's a single day when I'm the special one.
Tahani: Oh, sweetheart, don't go! You're important too! Fixing babies' spines is just as valuable as acting!

Quote from Michael

Michael: Tahani booked a flight for tomorrow morning, so... this party is our only chance to talk them out of moving.
Janet: Maybe we should just let them go their separate ways and hope that they learned enough to get into the Good Place.
Michael: No, we know what'll happen. The group splits up, they're screwed. No. We have to isolate Larry and convince him that he needs to stay in Australia. Time to get into character, as... [bad Australian accent] Nathaniel Cookswell, mate! Caterer to the stars!
Janet: Ah. Maybe no accent?
Michael: Fine.

Quote from Michael

Janet: Vegemite canape?
Larry Hemsworth: Oh, might as well. Mummy was right. I'll always be the chubby one.
Michael: [bad Australian accent] Good day, mate! Nathaniel Cookswell. Caterer to the stars. Mm... Is it true you're moving to England?
Larry Hemsworth: Yeah. Fly out tomorrow.
Michael: Oh. Ooh, that's a long trip. Well, you must be a confident man, uprooting your life like that.
Janet: You should stay here in Sydney. It's such a dynamic international city that you've only seen 4.8% percent of... probably.
Larry Hemsworth: I reckon I know what's going on here. You aren't real caterers, are you?
Michael: Uh... Uh-uh...
Larry Hemsworth: Who do you work for? Australian Inquirer? TMZ? You just want us to stay here so you can keep mocking me, "The hideous shame of the Hemsworth family."
Janet: Aw...
Larry Hemsworth: Tahani sees through all that. And I can't wait until we move far away from the likes of you and I can finally take her last name.

Quote from Michael

Michael: OK, I think I figured out a plan where they stay in Australia and only five random bystanders get hurt.
It's called "arson." [lights blowtorch] Let's go!

Quote from Janet

Janet: Michael, no. We can't keep meddling forever. It's time to park the snowplow, and trust that the humans will make progress on their own. This isn't like your afterlife neighborhood, Michael. You can't just reset things the moment something doesn't go according to your plan.
Michael: Oh, Janet, you're a genius.
Janet: Correct. I know everything.

Quote from Michael

Michael: You just gave me this crazy idea. It's so crazy, it just might... fail. It'll probably fail. But it also might work! I open the door to the afterlife. You keep a lookout, while I break into the Judge's chamber and reset the timeline on Earth. Then we do it all over again! But correctly. We won't wait a year to get them all together again. We'll get the study going right away!
Janet: Do you even know how to reset the timeline on Earth?
Michael: No. I'm assuming that there's, you know... a knob or a... or a button or, you know, maybe you... maybe you unplug it and then plug it right back in? I-I don't... There's gotta be a way!
Janet: Michael, before you do this...
Michael: No! No more waiting. This is all we have, Janet. We have Chidi and Eleanor and Tahani and Jason and that is it. If we can't get them enough afterlife points to get them into the Good Place then there's no point in us even being here. We have to try.
Janet: OK. Let's do this.
Michael: O-OK.
[After Michael makes a portal appear, he and Janet get ready to walk through it.]
Eleanor: What the hell is that?
Michael: Oh! Hey, guys! What are you doing down here?
