In the S1, Gabriel is an unpleasant character - he is arrogant and sometimes really cruel. He has no empathy for people and his subordinates. When Gabriel loses his memory in the S2, he becomes completely different. Yes, he behaves like a child, but he is a kind child whose first motives are honesty and a desire to help people. When Aziraphale says that Gabriel was a terrible person, Gabriel asks him - And now? I assume that along with his memories, Gabriel extracted something else that controlled his behavior and influenced his personality. That's what I'm basing my guess on:
There are three scenes when Gabriel remembers something. I should immediately note that there are two types of these memories.
1.The first two memories do not belong to Gabriel, he was not present at these events. One memory from the past (for some reason it seems to me that it is addressed to Aziraphale), and the second memory from the future (for Crowley). When Gabriel speaks, his eyes change color, his consciousness turns off, he experiences physical pain and discomfort.
2.His own memories of events from the present. His eyes don't change color. It is obvious that Gabriel has kept pieces of his memory, his mind and the temperament of a gentle and sympathetic character.
Now learn more about the first and third memories.
1.Crowley asks - What is the very first thing you remember? Gabriel speaks the words of God that he spoke to Job. These lines were about the creation of the Earth. This cannot be Gabriel's first memory, but more on that later.
2.The most important thing is the third memory. Here is the scene and dialogue between Crowley and Gabriel. Crowley accuses Gabriel of involvement in Aziraphale's execution and cruel words. Gabriel replies that it couldn't have been him. After Gabriel's attempt to jump out of the window, Crowley says:
-"Well, if you're really not him, what are you?" (that is, Crowley is ready to believe that this is not the Gabriel he knew.)
-"I don't know, I feel… like, an empty house. A house someone lived for a very long time, but now they're gone (not "he" not "it", not "has gone" - "They") and the house can sort of tell where the things used to be. Like when I remembered how it all begin."
The "house" is Gabriel's brain. Some "they" lived in it. They left traces of memory there, so Gabriel was able to remember how it all begin. So "It" began for Gabriel right then, at the moment of God's conversation with Job. When the events with Job took place, God and Satan had an bet (and obviously had a personal conversation.)
Red rays descend on Job. Do you expect white or gold rays from God
I assume that at this moment something was implanted into Gabriel's personality, and his eyes turned violet. Gabriel is literally the only character with such eyes. Was it a joint work of God and Satan? The violet miracle is a powerful miracle that occurs when combining the miracles of the red and blue spectrum. (a violet pillar appeared above the bookshop after the joint miracle of azicro.) "This" suppressed Gabriel's personality, but when he fell in love, his personality became more mature and came into conflict with "this". Then Metatron was sent to depose Gabriel and take away "it" from him under the guise of taking away memory.
It follows from all this, if Aziraphale is hired to replace Gabriel, then he will receive this control and obsession. Maybe that's what happens to him in the elevator.
For the sake of objectivity, I will note. This theory is contradicted by the fact that Gabriel's eyes remained violet after gaining memory. Aziraphale's eyes did not turn violet. Although in that case, the solution would be too obvious.
A sweet rainbow was left in the book of predictions for Aziraphale.
But for him, the rainbow is only God's "promise not to drown everyone again"
"I'm very good at forgivenness"
Yes, we know! -_- Please stop doing this!
- For one prince of Heaven to be cast into the darkness makes a good story. For it to happen twice, makes it look like there is some kind of institutional problem.
According to Metatron, such disobedience to God happened only for the second time. The first person who doubted God's plans and was thrown into Hell for it was Crowley. So Crowley was a prince of Heaven and held the position of archangel Gabriel. Aziraphale will now take over this position. I'm sure he won't stay there for long either. :) This position is cursed as well as the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor (in the "Harry Potter") (: By the way, the institutional problem is a deep contradiction in the existing rules of the (paradise) system. Because the rules are inadequate or outdated. Such a problem leads to a change in the system or to its destruction.
Would it seem like a good story to you, Metatron, if yourself were thrown into darkness? Such an unpleasant character -_-
The thought that in season 3 all will end in the garden (of Eden) seems comforting. The voice of God explicitly promised this. But the first season was an independent and complete story. In this film, several Chekhov's guns were suspended, and all of them fired in their turn (as they should in good literature and cinema).
"This story began as it will end in the garden of Eden with an apple," says the voice of God. This apple has caused trouble for people. And they were forced to escape from their comfortable place to the dangerous world outside.
This story ends as a mirror image.
Adam Young is forced to stay in the garden (of his house). But all the interesting is outside. Including a tree with forbidden apples. We can see there are already harvested apples near the bench where he is sitting in the garden. But he is interested in those that have not yet been collected - other people's apples. Of course, apples symbolize knowledge. And this time Adam runs away from his cozy garden of his own free will.
I assume that season 3 will not end in the garden.
- Angels aren't occult. We're ethereal. - So what's the difference? - Crowley, these are the basics! Occult means hidden and secret. This term refers more to the field of practice. It is the ability to manipulate natural laws to achieve certain goals. My essence is the etheric body, it retains the appearance of a physical body and is also in direct contact with my higher consciousness in heaven… Hey, are you listening? - Yeah it's very interesting.. Look at the statue right behind you. - Gosh, that statue… such… - Such obscene? Is that why you're speechless and can't give boring lectures anymore? - Uh well no not really.. - Is it such big? And you won't be able to drag it into your bookshop. - Crowley, this is ridiculous.. - Oh no, it's probably such retro? Therefore, you were visited by unconscious but pleasant thoughts. - "angelic groan of a martyr."
Oh, Aziraphale, your bookshop burned down, I'm so sorry!
Crowley, you'll cry about your car later! Go do what I can do myself, but I want you to do it!

When I was about to publish my theory, I decided to check if there were already similar ones. And I found this post. My respect. He was before mine. Now, with a clear conscience, I will publish my own.
In this painting by Leonardo da Vinci is Saint John the Baptist. He points to the sky. His gesture signifies the coming appearance of Christ. In Leonardo's painting, John has red hair and a tricky face. Crowley also makes a very similar gesture in the scene where he receives the infant Antichrist. this gesture does not correspond to what he is saying. It amuses me to think that this gesture means - yes, the Antichrist appeared today, but another baby also appeared today. I'm talking about the third baby, who was wrapped in a white blanket. Yes, I'm still hoping for a story about the second coming. Crowley must have met Leonardo. To prove this, he has a copy of the Joconda. His painting has an inscription (a whole sentence) and a signature at the bottom.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to make out what is written there. It would be funny if Leonardo painted his Joconda, and then St. John with Crowley. That's why they both have redheads and such sly smiles) And the letter J could mean Joconda or John. Although I prefer my other theory with the letter J.
