This "Sun episode" was all about betrayal.
In that first flashback, Sun betrayed her father and the maid by lying about the broken statue. Then she betrayed Jinn with her affair. Then she betrayed Jinn by working around him to help Sayid. Finally she betrayed herself by shooting the other woman (Colleen?).
Meanwhile Jinn is staying true to himself, standing up for to his father in law, refusing to kill the man he's been sent to kill. Also in staying in on the plot to ambush the Other team. It's a brilliant dichotomy--until now Jinn has been set up as the bad guy, and Sun has done whatever she needs to to deal with him, but this episode turned that all around. These two characters just keep getting deeper.
