Spoiler for from episode 12:

Of course, the side-effect is that Shinji loses his "spells".

Why would she say 'goodbye'? Are you saying she knows about what her brother was doing, and he kept her up to date on his progress? He didn't look terribly stable, so I doubt he was sending letters home telling people how things were going.

And how does it make any sense that Sakura was the Master instead of Shinji back in episode 12? Shinji clearly was in charge during the fight.
