EYECATCH B:“EPISODE #20:
WEAVING A STORY 2: ORAL STAGE”
UrsusArctos: The "Weaving A Story 2" episode title refers to Episode 14, the first episode to be titled "Weaving A Story" with its recap, Seele's conference and synchronization experiment gone wrong. However, this episode deals less with backstory and takes much deeper dive into Shinji's psyche. "Oral Stage" in the title refers to the first of Freud's five stages of psychosexual development, corresponding to an infant between birth and 18 months of age when the libido is centered in a baby's mouth and the baby gets satisfaction from whatever it puts in its mouth. This is a likely reference to Shinji briefly undergoing a form of infantile regression while in the Eva, but "Oral Stage" is referred to elsewhere in Eva.
