I've seen some people be confused by Job flashback and stating how "ooc" they believe Aziraphale is in it, and as your local S2 Flashback Defender, I think some of you are missing the significance of this story?
This specific flashback is very early in Aziraphale's life on earth; other than Eden, we've only seen him during The Flood, which he (albeit poorly) defends to Crowley. The Flood is Gods plan, he cannot question or disobey it, he MUST follow Heaven's orders regardless of how heinous those orders may be; Heaven is the side of light, of truth, of GOOD. Aziraphale is on the GOOD side, so there must be legitimate reasoning behind these orders.
*It's important to know the real biblical context of The Flood, which is when God believed the earth was so filled with evil that He destroyed it, sparring only Noah and his family due to them being the only righteous people left. While we obviously know The Flood was a horrific act regardless of who or what was dying, Aziraphale can very much rationalize this as being necessary for "the greater" good of humanity and The Plan, despite how obviously flawed it is.*
Now, let's look at the Job flashback. Job is a righteous man, he lives his life devoted to God and is "one of the nicest men in the world!", yet he's subjected to a senseless bet between sides. This throws Aziraphale for a loop because... what purpose does this hold? You're torturing an innocent man, killing his children, and for what? For the first time, Aziraphale consciously acknowledges that Heaven is WRONG. There is no "greater good" in this act, it's cruel and senseless and he cannot go along with it. Aziraphale outright disobeys God’s plan and attempts to stop Crowley from killing Job’s children. Aziraphale puts his faith not in God's goodness and mercy, but in Crowley's. He KNOWS Crowley would never do such a cruel, senseless act.
Up until this point, Aziraphale has been playing his part. He follows his orders, gives his obedience, and doesn't concern himself with human aspects; Food is gross matter, and wine is a source of drunkenness! It's what the other angels live by, he should too! It's what's right! But the cracks in this façade have formed. The obedience is shaken, the faith in his institution is shaken, and in this blasphemous clusterfuck, he lets himself discover one of his most human aspects - eating. Something he probably has been curious about but denied himself, going by his downright gluttonous reaction (I mean, what’s a little gluttony at this point?). The fact it's Crowley - a demon - who introduces him to one of his most human characteristics, not heaven, the side Aziraphale so desperately tries to please and obey, makes it all the more bittersweet. Crowley and the earth gave him more humanity, Heaven denied him of it.
This portion of the story is EXTREMELY important to Aziraphale's character. Aziraphale may seem "ooc" (I don't personally believe he is, but I digress) bc he's NOT the Aziraphale we know yet. This is Aziraphale in one of his earliest forms, at the beginning of his journey. This is Aziraphale at the start of his tumultuous relationship w/ Heaven. This is Aziraphale's worldview changing forever, his views on his home & peers changing forever. This is him realizing something is WRONG. Heaven is not what he thought it was, and he can't always go along. It's why we see him battling himself throughout the flashback + having a breakdown at the end, assuming he's going straight to hell for lying, despite making the right decision. We are watching one of the most important moments of Aziraphale's character, of his mindset.
Maybe I'm going overboard (probably), maybe it's the religious trauma speaking (also probably), but I will die on the hill when it comes to the quality/significance of this flashback.

The more perspectives I watch from Session Three, the more I'm starting to think that it was a double-length session to facilitate Grian's upcoming trip to Ghana. The first two episodes had pretty consistent editing patterns in which the session wrapped up and people did their outros, talked about what had happened in the session, did last bits of work on their bases, etc. Every indication here is that the end of Session 3 was an artificial break, not the actual end of a play session that would be followed by a week's hiatus.
When Grian yells "That's it, end the episode!" after he gets thrown off the cliff, it sounds like a joke except for the fact that literally everybody _does that._ No perspective I've seen so far has gone more than another fifteen or twenty seconds past that point. Some, like Cleo's, end significantly earlier, suggesting that she figures she can push some content into another episode without a weird break between scenes. (Cleo has in the past done double episodes for certain Life Series weeks, but for those episodes she split in the middle. In this case it would have to be an incredibly eventful ten or fifteen minutes of playtime if it were going to carry an episode by itself.)
My guess for where we stand now is that Session 4 is the back half of a marathon double session and it has already been recorded. (If so, RIP Grian's audio for whatever portion of that episode he's still going to be dubbing.) This coming Tuesday they will record Sessions 5 and 6, release Session 4 on July 8, and still have a comfortable backlog of two weeks of footage, the projected length of Grian's July trip. Or possibly enough people or the right people died in Session 4 that they aren't worried about Grian taking part of July off, but I don't want to think that way!
