This scene is really the only time Sun messed up and for some reason a lof of people hated on him. I found that line to be poorly written, even though it wasn't out of place for his character. I think it was because Ghira was there to dislike him, and we see how nervous he gets around Ghira.

Blake's been acting out of character these past few episodes, and I don't really care for it. The writers have previously said she's the hardest character to write for, but that leaves no excuses for sticking true to what's been previously established.

The only way I can understand her weird actions is what I shall now refer to as the "Menagerie Blues," that is, she acts out of character because she's supposed to be in a place where she can be out of character: home. Even still, hopefully she cleans up her act in this next episode or whenever we next see her.
