I think it's the way they condemn God in the Job episode- and then (much much later) do the same thing themselves.
Also, thinking about it, then I think Job and Scotland are linked, but 1941 is more of its own thing across seasons.
ETA: OK back where I can type properly.
Trying to think about it then.. Job and Scotland are specific turning points? The first time they work together to subvert Heaven & Hell (against a specific order) and then the time when they push it too far. And by the time they're in Edinburgh the moral game of 'How do humans behave in the maze we have constructed' is something they have become used to? Elspeth is their little lab rat, until everything goes wrong and wee Morag dies & Elspeth is going to follow her. And then the repercussions follow (for Crowley).
I guess they... they play games above their station, in one sense?
ANYWAY. Job to Scotland, that's almost like a closed loop.
But then 1941 seems to be a different thing again. This one is three parts, and we only have parts 1 and 2 so far. Obviously Everything Is Connected, but trying to look at the narrative strands, this makes sense to me.
