Neon Genesis Evangelion 1.15

Silence and Lies

Katsuragi, Ritsuko, and Ryoji go to a wedding. Asuka goes on a date with a classmate's brother but she doesn't like him and ends the date early. Shinji stays home and plays the cello. Asuka gets bored after returning home and kisses Shinji. She decides after the fact that it was a mistake. Ryoji helps Katsuragi get home safely.

Shinji visits his mother's grave on the anniversary of her death. Gendo, his father, meets him there. They share a few awkward words. 

The episode ends with Katuragi finding Ryoji in the sub-basement at Nerv. He opens a compartment which reveals that Nerv has the remains of the first Angel.

Thoughts

Asuka's date is not shown.

I'm not sure what to make of this episode. It was very different. There were no battles with Angels or training sequences. It was a collection of moments but I'm not sure if it all adds up to anything. Maybe it will make more sense after I watch a few more episodes.

Things in this episode have me wondering if Rei is a clone of Shinji's mother.

I'm not loving or enjoying this show but I feel as though I should watch it to the end. There are 11 more episodes. I plan to stick with it, love it or not.
