Synopsis:

Shinji remains trapped within Eva unit 1, experiencing dreams of his mother and wishes to not leave. A month passes and Rei begs the unit 1 to release him, through Misato's words Shinji eventually rematerializes outside of the Eva. As Shinji recovers the sub-commander of NERV Fuyutski is kidnapped by SEELE, his interrogation prompts a flashback where we learn how NERV was created and that Shinji's mother lost her soul to the unit 1. Kaji frees Fuyutski but Kaji is eventually killed for spying on NERV. Misato mourns his death. Soon afterwards Dr. Ritsuko Akagi notices that Rei has changed due to her companionship for Shinji replacing her love for Gendo. Ritsuko falls under a spell of jealous rage and hurts Rei. She apologises quickly and realises that she has acted like her mother and predecessor, whom killed herself before her work at NERV was complete.
