JUST because Shinji's stats are higher than Asuka's, she tells Shinji that he should take the lead when an Angel attacks. And from that, Shinji ends up trapped by the Angel inside it.
I do not get why this episode was praised by many people. I understand that Asuka deep down cares about Shinji, and we see that in episode 22. But, this episode is the only one where Asuka was almost hateable.
Outside of that, when Shinji experiences the dream on the train, we also get to hear a dialogue from a man who says that Gendo is suspiciously the one who murdered her wife a long time ago (Shinji's father). But it explains it in episode 21.
This episode is (not) great. It's overrated.
