Was I supposed to not be quite sure what Gendo's plan for 2200 was?

And once again, Akagi only cares about her shitty little Elektra complex.
You frankly don't deserve Maya. Go help save the world and actually earn her.
Fuck you, Gendo.
Um...
Kaworu, no...
Stop thinking about it.
Stop.
Stop it!
STOP IT NOW!

Gendo is banging Ritsuko and pretending she's Yui. Ritsuko used to be desperate for his affection but now she has her true love so she's just disgusted.

I read Akagi's thoughts there as being sarcastic, not envious.

This makes me think of this.
Here's hoping Gendo's forced into it.

Yeah, but with Misato also there at the same time?
I read that as Akagi seeing through Gendo's emotionally constipated bullshit. As in "Rei is his favorite, and this is how he treats her?"

Yes, she doesn't want it anymore. The point is, that is still what she is thinking about, and not what shit Gendo is pulling. It's the old argument, to which I also subscribe, that Akagi did not have an ethical revelation or change of heart or anything. If Gendo had better a better actor, she would still be happy to drug up and exploit Rei.

It's Ritsuko who says that the commander wants a full debriefing from her at 2200, not Misato

Okay, I misread who was saying what. I thought Misato was the one who mentioned a full debriefing at 2200.

Oddly enough I actually hope that Gendo doesn't die, or rather that he is not permitted to die. Letting him die is just making it too easy on him. His punishment must be more severe. Mangled Bane quote aside, I want him to live despised and loathed by everyone around him, and explicitly aware of Yui's hatred, disgust, and rejection. And just to twist the knife even more, knowing the he did it all to himself and could have changed the outcome at any time.
Basically, I want to hear him make this noise:

Shinji: My heart made that sound when I saw one of the women I love dying, and you tried to force me to stay still.
Gendo: -My- heart made that sound when Yui was 'killed'.
Shinji: That is inconceivable. You do not have a heart to make that sound.
Gendo: ....That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Shinji: My name is Shinji Ikari. You nearly killed Rei. Prepare to die.

I had almost forgot about that particular bit of douchbagary on Gendo's part.
Maya must have grown one hell of a poker face. To be so blatant in her feelings for Ritsuko, yet to be able to hid her disgust at the idea of Gendo touching her...
Maya kinda reminds me of Shannon Foraker from the Honorverse. Remember what happened with her and State Security?
The final score in the story of Shannon Foraker v State security was Oppressive Secret Police, 0, computer genius, ALL THE POINTS!

I point out that AsukaQuest was one of them. Although in that one Kaworu wound up paring up with Shinji, Asuka and Rei are together, AIsuka and Mari have an on-again-off-again thing, and I think at least one decanted Kaworu-clone and Rei-clone are together.
Love is not deserved, or earned. It is something that can only be given. And Maya gives her love to Ritsuko.
Ritsuko, however, is struggling to become someone she thinks worthy of the love that Maya shows her.

Or she's acknowledging Rei's personhood and contrasting it with Gendo's view (and her previous view) of Rei as a mere homunculus that exists only to further Gendo's Scenario and could be discarded and replaced when defective.

No no no, when he does that he should really surprise Gendo by saying : My name is Shinji Soryu.

1. Nice cosplay.
2. Asuka be pissed.
Ritsuko lies to Misato again... geez.
What's the A!Alucard line i'm thinking of here?
Oh right: 'in any other circumstance, you might have had a point there'.
Still bleeding. Not good.
*thinks to canon*
No you do not. Because you know what the Angel would have shown you.
... well that's as subtle as a brick to the face.

Misato knows that she and Maya are dating. She also knows that Ritsuko was terrified at anyone finding out, and given that Ritsuko plainly adores Maya it is really obvious that the... night isn't fully consensual if at all. That fact alone never mind the history is enough for Ritsuko to be lying her head off.
Yeah, this is the first time I've felt legitimately bad that these crossovers aren't canon. Kaworu could really benefit from that talk.

And that's not even getting into what Yui's reaction to all this is if he does succeed in getting her out of the Eva. Honestly that interaction is going to make the Impacts seem tame.
The question though is for who exactly. Gendo if Shinji tells him about Yui, or Shinji for when Gendo uses Asuka and Rei against him.I see sad times approaching
