been rewatching the Final Fifteen and its so clear how poor Azi does not have a choice but to go along with Metatron's plans
not only did the Metatron threaten him with the coffee, pointing out that he got it from "the shop" (which of course is called give me coffee or give me death)
but Metatron also talks about how Gabriel came directly to Azi, and that's not a good sign, given how Gabriel was on the run from heaven... is Azi being punished here?
Metatron also mentions Crowley, and how if Azi worked with him again, it would be considered irregular
its a threat, and as Azi does not have a choice but to go to Heaven, I think he was trying to protect Crowley by bringing him along and keeping him close by
too bad that Azi could not speak plainly of this (he looks out of the window after Crowley says "tell me you said no", presumably because Metatron is outside) and shakes his head when Crowley starts talking about how he "is better than all that"
instead Azi had to try and convince Crowley to come with him by talking about how heaven is Good Actually (even after spending the whole season reminiscing the times where he learned that reality is not so black and white) but of course, this didnt work
so instead Azi goes it alone, because he has no choice but to play along with what the Metatron has planned for him. to me, his smile at the end shows his determination to do the best he can to prevent this Second Coming, protect Earth, and of course Crowley
