My speculation is that Haruhi is trying to be a little subordinative to Kyon (Making his comments and suggesstions matter in the planning), compared to the early part of the Haruhi timeline. Itsuki's speech about "trust" is a hint of that.
In any rate, Yuki Nagato is really emphasized these last few episodes (Ep 7, Ep 10 and this episode mainly) revealing that she is capable of human-like emotions. I really like her because she's so cool (and maybe because she's the only character in the current series that showed her fearsome power), and side from her poker-face expression, she shows a lot of her cute side too.
