Could the Metatron have known about Gabriel and Beelzebub before everyone else did?

We don't get to see his reaction to Gabriel and Beelzebub revealing their relationship. So we don't know if he would have been shocked by the reveal.

Instead, the Metatron comes down from Heaven, doesn't ask any questions about where Gabriel is or why no one is looking for him and instead has already decided to make Aziraphale the supreme archangel.

Yes, the Metatron is the voice of God, but he's not God, so it's not like as soon as Gabriel and Beelzebub fuck off the Metatron just knows what happened. (The summoning circle isn't on anymore right? Acting like a hot mic up to heaven? If it was maybe this could explain it.)

So how does the Metatron know?

Maybe the Metatron found out that Gabriel was suddenly disinterested in Armageddon 2: electric boogaloo and wondered what caused the sudden change. We've already seen that the metatron has access to files on the goings on of Aziraphale and can go back through history to find evidence of his meetings with Crowley, even in places that they thought would be safe to meet in public like the Globe Theatre. The Metatron could have looked through whatever surveillance was on Gabriel, seen his meetings with Beelzebub, seen the writing on the wall. Maybe he figured erasing Gabriel's memories would be enough. And then when it wasn't and Gabriel escaped and no one could find him, maybe he started coming up with his plan.
