Just rewatched the episode... and did anyone else notice:

Spoiler for 42:

In the final scene with Arachne and Kishin, the weird fuzzy spider thing on Arachne's back has a red light coming from it. With the way it's shown (a close-up of Asura looking out-of-it, a close-up of Arachne, and then a close-up of the spider) I'm definitely thinking there's some major significance to this.

I'm really starting to think that the "bed" they're on is not only siphoning off Asura's madness, but seriously messing with his head, and maybe the spider on Arachne's back is controlling it, what other reason does she have for staying there?
