So, what is the deal with the world’s most conspicuously uneaten Eccles cakes? (A meta)
Well, I wouldn’t say it’s bad writing, not even the on-purpose-as-a-secret-message kind. I agree there is a visual ‘loose thread’ here that the creators wanted us to notice, but I don’t think the meaning has anything to do with Metatron or the eventual plan for S3. I think the eccles cakes are all about what’s going on in this episode with Crowley and Aziraphale, and they’re unsettling in exactly the way they’re meant to be, even if we might not register the full implications consciously on first watch.
On the most straightforward level, this shot is the punchline to a joke set up by Aziraphale and Nina in the coffee shop. Crowley orders six shots of espresso, bound to get him all worked up and stressy. Aziraphale, who desperately wants Crowley to be thinking clearly when he learns about the Gabriel situation, says to Nina: ‘What do you sell that calms people down?’ And she replies: ‘Eccles cakes.’ From this moment on the cakes are a visual symbol of what Aziraphale needs from Crowley right now.

If there's a world where time travel was possible Robin Buckley wishes she was in it.
Not to stop the Upside Down or save lives no she wishes she could go back in time and help Eddie Munson graduate so she didn't have to watch him make heart eyes over the Family Video shelves at one Steve Harrington.
Steve hasn't even noticed Eddie has been in the store for the last ten minutes. He's had his headphones on and has restacked the candy bar five times since the day has had a grand total of zero customers.
Finally, against her wishes, Eddie approaches the desk, the tape in his hand has a lot more teen heartthrobs and a lot less gore then he usually rents. The gooey lovesick expression is still plastered over his face. Steve still stacks the candy at snail pace, his head bobbing along to whatever is playing, probably the mixtape Eddie gave him last week.
"Sixteen candles, interesting choice, Munson."
The metalhead just sighs, his eyes still glued to Steve.
"Oi doofus, making goo goo eyes at dingus."
She slaps his arm which thankfully breaks his focus, Eddie doesn't even look sorry.
"Oh Birdie! Hey, do you think Steve would like this one?"
"You're not even going to watch it and you know it."
She wheeled the chair over to Steve giving his arm the same slapping treatment, "Steve your boyfriend wants to know if you'd like Sixteen Candles playing while you make out."
A dopey expression falls over Steve's face as he takes his headphones off and looks over at Eddie who shares the same dumb look.
"Aw Eds we could've had The Thing playing and I'd still want to kiss you," Steve says wandering over to him, leaning over the counter.
"Well I got to pick last time sweetheart it's only fair."
Steve quickly rings it up and puts his own cash in the till, "Well only fair that I pay then, sunshine"
"Baby you treat me too well, I'll buy us dinner on the way over."
"I'll show you how well I can treat you late-"
"STOP! I don't want to hear about you two bumping butts or anymore pet names, I'm melting away here."
"Aw Robs, don't worry you're still my snookums," Steve says a mischievous look in his eye as he walks over and squishes her cheeks together.
"Birdie, our lesbian love, our queen, you can pick our next make out movie so you don't feel left out."
"Ah!" Robin yelled and she decided now was the perfect time for her break leaving the two lovers to giggle and return to their heart eyes.
Maybe she didn't need time travel, as long as Steve kept that smile on his face, Robin was happy too.
