There are two obvious hints whose soul is in Unit 00: a) in the
cross-over sync test in ep14, Shinji sees a weird version of Rei as
the entity within the EVA tries to contact his mind, and b) in the
Director's Cut of ep23, we actually see Unit 00 turn into 'Giant Naked
Rei' just as it self-destructs. As for why it flips out, the only
evidence we have to go on is Ritsuko's assertion in ep14 that the
attacks were directed at her; "I'm sure of it" she says, and since
no-one in the story is more intimately familiar with what is going on
with the EVAs (she is, after all, the director of Project E), I assume
she knows what she's talking about.
