Holy shit. Aziraphale's an unreliable narrator and was probably threatened by the Metatron.

Just hear me out.

What really struck me during my latest rewatch is how bloody awful they are at communicating. Through the whole season.

Crowley finds out that helping Gabriel will be punished by being removed from the book of life - doesn't tell Aziraphale.

When asked about the trip back from Scotland, Azi does not tell Crowley about being visited by Shax.

Crowley never tells Aziraphale that he visited heaven and found out a lot of things. Here amongst that not going along with Armageddon 2.0 is why Gabriel ended up with no memory. Which seems pretty relevant now that Aziraphale is replacing Gabriel.

And of course there is all the unsaid stuff during the final 15 but that is not important right now tbh.

So... Aziraphale is an unreliable narrator. We know that he and crowley just... doesn't tell each other important stuff.

I saw some post with a theory about Give me Coffee or give me death and how the Megatrash probably gave Aziraphale the ultimatum between going to heaven or having Crowley ereased from the book of life. And honestly it would make so much bloody sense if the Murdertron threatened Aziraphale in some way or other.

This is the exact kind of thing that we see through the season that Aziraphale and Crowley do not share with each other. And that would explain why Aziraphale changed his mind so suddenly. And the choice to show us the scenes with Azi and the Megadumb through the narration of Aziraphale.
