Sulu didn't even think to inform Jack that he wasn't his captain and couldn't order him around like that, but he also didn't think to give his coat back. Jack was commanding even at his worse, but Sulu's loyalties still lay with Ianto, despite everything that had happened. He held on to the coat and instead fixed Jack with an irritated glare.
"I'm not telling you not to be angry. I can't do that when you have every right to be angry. We both have every right to be angry. Hell, we both are angry! But Ianto needs us despite this." Despite lying to them, despite wanting to hold this back so everyone could be happy, despite being so dumb as to think they would prefer not knowing, Ianto was the one person the two of them felt strongly enough about to go through this for. And they would do anything for him - for Sulu, that included tolerating the lying until they could really discuss it. "He needs us, Jack, and I can't let you leave like this. I can't do this alone as it is, and if you leave right now..." He wasn't sure he'd be able to help Ianto out of whatever chasm he fell in because of it.
