So... why would Gabriel use the same plan twice? At least in a row.
To start with, in a battle of wits, him going for the same person to Akumatized on the off-chance they're angry again isn't going to work against Ladybug who's shown to have mac-guvering her way with even a coin shaped Lucky Charm. "Time Tagger" shows that Mr. Pigeon is old hat by Season 3 and too easy to deal with.
Even with something like Optigami, Ladybug would be even more vigalante to possible surveilance.
Furthermore, his victims, when brought down, will lose their anger and motivation for villainy after being ashamed over what had happened thanks to them giving in. It might crop up again but not in the same way and maybe not so strongly this time.

The lie burned her tongue as it left her throat.
She could tell immediately she miscalculated. She recognized that expression. The pain and isolation in his eyes, it was the one she had sworn with everything she had that she would make sure he never wore again...
The new episode was...ah, Adrien/Chat Noir angst is coming, yes, i can feel it now
Look at him!
Look at his face and how sad he is! He's like, oh?
What? She defeated the villain without his help? Uhm...okay...
And THEN THIS SCENE
Ladybug did defeat the villain without Chat Noir...but not on her own as he first thought.
She managed to do it with other superheroes...who aren't him. As if he wasn't needed.
And his expressions change so fast you will miss it the first time but I will gladly show them to you:
He's angry
He's Shocked
He's Sad/dissapointed
And then he quickly changes into his silly "normal" self because as we established already, he's good at pretending.
But as soon as they leave him alone...
Depression
what we thought would happen 🤡🤡🤡
Chat Noir: eats a cookie for 0.5 seconds
me: you're doing amazing sweetie
“there’s something i have to tell you...”
