Her unexpected words illicit a confused look from Shinji.
mechashiva: What is weird about this episode is that Shinji wakes up and has no memory of the night before (Ritsuko says his memory may be a bit "muddled" from the head trauma) and the muted expressions of everybody else could be read to Shinji as anger or disappointment: Rei glaring at him from the hospital bed and seeing Gendo at the elevator, he looks away as if to say "I did what you asked. What more do you want from me?" So Misato taking Shinji to the overlook has two purposes: to make him feel better as well as helping to jumpstart his memory.
