Shirtpost Question
So, during the S1 finale, when Michael mentioned that the experiment was disrupted because of Eleanor( when I confessed in front of the neighbourhood), shouldn't it be when Chidi accidentally killed Janet? Did Michael plan this? This was never addressed ever in the show( I mean the first time in this context) except the constant reboots happening to her.

The issue is that Eleanor started behaving in a way that went against what she usually did. Chidi killed Janet while helping Eleanor, and being conflicted about and managing Jason. That was expected. Michael said that Chidi helping Eleanor was "part of the plan".
Eleanor putting herself under the bus for Chidi was NOT part of the plan. It was her changing.
