Tenshi is supposed to take off the poster for the unauthorized concert but decided against it. Suppose to stop the GirlDeMo concert but, haven't done anything to stop it while she was there, instead the teachers stop it. Decided to listen to Iwasawa's final ballad before she disappeared. Heck, Tenshi haven't done a single thing in this episode to stop SSS. Most of her actions here are halfhearted which makes me wonder about her motivations?
Result: I have no idea... maybe Iwasawa-san's disappearance?
From what we know at this moment, episode 3 was a massive victory for Tenshi. Not only did the loss of Iwasawa put a temporary pause one the SSS's operations until they can find a replacement, if Tenshi's goal really is to help the students until they are ready to return to the cycle of life, then letting things proceed as they did just helped one of the SSS members, who oppose their reincarnation, do just that.

So it's a triple success: Helped student attain peace, student was also SSS member and still attained peace, hampered SSS disruptive actions.

Since the SSS are like the 'problem children' of a school, to help one of those along their path and see them leave with a smile is quite possibly even more satisfying than seeing a regular one leave.
