That really should have earned Kyosuke something of an extended grace period from his sister; instead, this episode came across as her being more harsh to him than ever.
In a vacuum, episode 4 doesn't make Kirino look that bad, but in the grander scheme of things it makes her look entirely unappreciative of the incredible lengths that her brother has gone to help her out.

Trying to explain why Kirino behaves the way she does. Up until the beginning of the series, it seems that Kirino and Kyousuke have been having a very poor relationship. Now that Kyousuke knows about the secret of Kirino's anime hobby, they are finally starting to get more involved with each other. I'm sure Kirino is thankful for Kyousuke sacrificing the last tiny bit of reputation (it obviously was never much in the first place) by defending her from the father. However, she has no idea how to show her gratitude, so for now in ep. 4, she still acts habitually, like she's used to treat Kyousuke. You don't change long years of habit over night. I'm sure improvements in her behaviour towards Kyousuke will come, but you can't expect it to happen over night. Let's see what ep. 5 brings.
