Did Eleanor, Chidi, Michael, Tahani, Jason and Janet ultimately get everything they wished for in the afterlife?

When Chidi was ready, Eleanor wasn’t exactly ready for him to be ready. She brought him to Greece and to Paris, where they walked around and had romantic moments, but it was clear it was time. Chidi was willing to stay for Eleanor, but she eventually realized that wasn’t fair.

Eleanor still wasn’t ready, so she thought perhaps her final mission was helping Mindy and talking her into taking the test to finally leave the Medium Place and go to the Good Place.When that mission was accomplished, she, Janet and Michael headed to the clearing and Michael tried to leave. As a demon though, he couldn’t. But with the newly constructed world order going so well, he was ready for a change. So Eleanor visited the judge and convinced her to allow Michael to become a “real boy.

Finally, Eleanor was ready — and she and Janet had one last conversation just before she walked through the door. To answer, Eleanor refers back to Chidi’s speech: “The wave returns to the ocean. What the ocean does with the water after that is anyone’s guess. But as a very wise not-robot once told me, true joy is in the mystery.”In the last scene, golden flecks of light lead to a man getting his mail. He realizes he received something that wasn’t addressed to him and throws it away. Moments later, he thinks better of it and delivers the letter… to Michael.
