In which the gang is at a crossroads after Michael and Janet's trip to see Doug Forcett. Eleanor commiserates with Michael and the gang settles in Canada for a spell to raise money for their next big idea- a network of schools to lift people up to do good in the world. Michael has to learn how to be a fake date for a rich lady and Eleanor volunteers to teach him how to romance. Which doesn't get complicated...at all. There's silliness, more tropes than you can shake a stick at, kissing, drinking, dancing, death, an afterlife, a smidge of self-realisation, a lil fade-to-black (wink wink nudge nudge), and just maybe a chance to save the forking universe. (tldr: Slow burn Hellstrop)
