I agree with you about the recovery procedure.  I don't think Shinji came
back as a result, for the basic fact that they had already given up when
he reappeared.  But I also believe that Misato was the one responsible for
bringing him back.  During his whole depressing monologue while in the
entry plug he knew a familiar female figure was there and went to her.
