In an interview with TV Guide, Carden, who plays Janet on the Michael Schur-created sitcom, said that having a scene partner like Danson gave her what she needed to play her character on the next level.
To explain her point, Carden recalled filming the scene in Season 2, episode 7, in which Michael (Danson) admits that the reason he can’t destroy Janet is because she’s his best friend.

“He surprised me in real life in that scene because he got emotional,” Carden said of Danson. “His eyes go red and there’s tears in them and I was like, ‘What the hell? This wasn’t in the script. How dare you.’ And it made me, D’Arcy the actor, also get teary-eyed. Which I was immediately like, ‘No, no, no, we can’t do that because Janet would not — but then I also realized this is the moment when Janet is changing.’”

@Brian Bock Two scenes that we don't get and I'm glad/sad that we don't: 1. Michael dies and is reunited with Janet in the Good Place. 2. Michael walks through the final door, leaving Janet behind.

I just realized... part of the reason Michael changed was because of Janet. Before her everyone he knew were demons. Demons aren’t exactly healthy friends. But Janet? She’s made to be nice, helpful, and supportive. She was quite literally the first true friend he ever had.

Jojo Gotta Gogo

2y↑18

This scene is where we really start to see how Michael is changing. He spent eons gleefully torturing people, yet now he can’t even marbelize Janet for the betterment of his plan. This is the first time in Michael’s entire existence that he makes a truly selfless decision, and it happened because he got something as simple as a friend.

Kuba havlíček

Janet: Eleanor don´t kill me. Look at my three beatiful children.
Also Janet: Michael kill me. Kill me. Kill me.

Son N.

@JT 7 Marbelizing is actually temporary. Unless you destroy or eat the marble of course.

Mac SteezyWayz

Well Janet would have let Eleanor kill her if it in any way helped her. It was a safety measure Incase of an accident reset.

@JT 7 a marbelized Janet can be returned to normal. This Janet was turned into a marble and put back to normal and thrown into a magnet cell

JT 7

4y↑11

Marbelizing is permanent though. Rebooting is just resetting. Once he marbelized Janet that version is gone forever.

Myrest

6y↑384

I always interpreted this scene like this: Janet was his first friend because it was easier to him to develop feelings for someone he respected; he despises humans (at least at the beginning), but Janet was different, because she had skills and knowledge, things he respected and that, to his eyes, made her more valuable than humans. Even though she's not a person, he first discovers he can have feelings towards someone because of his relationship with her. Truly remarkable what respect can lead to, because that happens in relationships within humans.

Devon Avery McAllister

6y↑32

Myrest You can really see it in the montage of him rebooting Janet in S2E1 how he gets more and more uncomfortable with each reboot. He first starts out indifferent to the process but slowly comes to hate it. To the point where he actually begs her to stop and chill even though he knows it's just a fail safe. Yeah you can chalk it up to him getting weary of each failure, but you can tell that his hesitation is more than that.

Stelios Stamatialis

4y↑61

Obviously, this is a beautifully emotional scene. You get the funny part which is Michael's paper-thin excuses for not wanting to marbelise Janet, which you know is leading to him admitting that she's his friend. Then he gives the speech, and it's beautiful and sad, and they're both tearing up... Then Janet delivers that smug "Well, well, well..." and it circles right back round to being funny. Sheer brilliance.

Nico Bones

It’s moments like this that make Michael’s character development from a demon who took pleasure in torturing humans to someone who risked everything to save the four main humans then literally all of humanity so organic. He originally joined team cockroach for the sake of self preservation, but then became genuinely good when he started to care about them.

J M

3y↑8

The main four have their moments, but even years later this is still the most touching scene to me. To have a chipper robot insisting she needs to be killed to save everyone and a sadistic demon refusing because he has realized the importance friendship; it’s just so inspiring. It simultaneously sends the messages that anyone can be selfless and anyone can care about others.

I think Michael is actually the main character in the series. I don't think he is really a demon, didn't start out that way at least. I think I may even know what the last scene of the series might be. His name is Michael after all.

Dunno why no one has mentioned it yet but when you think of it, this whole situation is another version of the trolley problem: kill Janet and save the humans, or save Janet and potentially doom everyone else.

I’m glad Michael took a third option and decided that there is more than just the two options initially provided

ar57821

3y↑17

My own, very late, thoughts on why Janet tears up. Michael, much like his existential crisis earlier, is learning what an 'end' is, this time in regards to someone he knows and has worked with extensively, and that hurts too much for him to be ok with.
Janet, on the other hand, is experiencing someone treating her with intimacy for the first time, at least with this iteration. She was made to be a tool, used to build the mainframe of a neighborhood, and to satisfy every whim and question of humans. Michael is treating her with autonomy and familiarity in a way no Janet has ever experienced. Even compare her reaction to Jason marrying her. "Jason was a person who was near me when he asked, and nothing forbade me from doing it :-D"
Michael is learning what it is to love something outside of himself, and Janet is learning what it feels like to accept that type of love.
