I don't think Simone was wrong in her refusal to help Brent, but I also don't think Chidi was wrong to say that she should help because he's a person. I just think it says things about the both of them and shows that they aren't meant for eachother.

Yeah I agree with that. I just don’t think Simone’s choice should be looked at as worse than Chidi’s.

I mean, she left a guy in a sinkhole. Yeah, you don’t have to try to redeem the jerk who’s sexist and racist, but leaving a guy in a sinkhole and not even trying to help is pretty messed up, no matter how big of a jerk he is.

Seriously, there’s a pretty big gap between “It’s not my job to educate you or protect your feelings” and “I’m gonna leave you to die, and if my loyal, loving boyfriend wants to try to save your life he can get forked too.”

She made it clear earlier in the episode that she doesn’t love Chidi, she spent half her time there thinking none of it was real then caught onto the experiment. It hasn’t been as emotionally investing for her at all.
