Also I wonder if Ritsuko misreads Shinji when she says he just does what he’s told. A possible way to understand his new dedication to training is as an answer to the question from last week, how much does he remember if Unit 01 going berserk? Maybe he’s suddenly trying so much harder because he does remember and absolutely doesn’t want to let it happen again
This is possible! I think she's possibly also projecting a little on him there since she's so obedient to Gendo herself, though not because it makes her life easier.
The teacher explaining the Second Impact gets even funnier like ten episodes later when we start another classroom scene and he’s delivering the exact same monologue. I love the implication that the Second Impact makes up his entire curriculum
What’s the deal with this Ritsuko dame. Can’t get a bead on her. Don’t trust her.
she smokes a lot…

I also love the cheesy Second Impact movie that Shinji wanders into in the next episode lol.
