A Miracle's Worth
The episode opens up with a flashback to Katsuragi's youth, fifteen years earlier, when her father sacrificed himself and made sure that she survived a very large (possibly nuclear) explosion.
In the present, Captain Katsuragi was recently promoted to the rank of major. Shinji and Asuka throw a small party for her. They invite Rei but she doesn't come.
Katsuragi is left in charge of Nerv HQ when Shinji's father leaves for a trip to Antarctica. An angel attacks Tokyo-3. Katsuragi takes the initiative and uses Special Declaration D-17 to order the evacuation of Tokyo-3.
The Angel drops from the sky like a bomb. The three pilots in their EVA units have to catch it and use their force fields to keep it from causing too much damage.
They are successful and for the first time Shinji's father congratulates him. Katsuragi takes the pilots out for ramen to celebrate the successful mission.
It's hard to tell how this show is progressing. If it progresses at all then it does so slowly.
Katsuragi originally promised the pilots steak but Rei doesn't eat steak and Katsuragi can't afford to buy them steak dinners.
I still don't understand the Angels. What are they exactly? Are they aliens? Are they something man made? Why do they all look so different from one another?
This was a decent episode. It was more or less par for the course. It wasn't great but it was both similar to and different from the episodes that preceded it.
