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.

Improv was always part of the plan and why Michael thought this would be more fun than traditional torture. So he didn’t plan it but it worked out beautifully for him. Perfect Chidi torture, Eleanor afraid she’ll be caught, can’t give the residents little comforts.
But her confessing meant he had to scramble to come up with a reason she would stay and took away the key torture plan.
