Also in that episode, he was overcome with deep hate and rage after learning Konoha's involvement in his clan's demise that it clouded his judgment. He also saw Sakura, Naruto, Kakashi and all the other villagers as reminders of the village he blamed for the loss of his family, which is why he didn't hesitate to try to kill them. With his mental state unstable, it could explain why he tried to kill Sakura. She was also mentally unstable because she blamed herself for causing Naruto grief in his promise to her of bringing Sasuke back and she was in shock of how far Sasuke fell in darkness. Like I said, Sakura truly fell in love with Sasuke due to her desire to save him rather than make him hers; she became to scared for his well-being and knew that if he became a serious threat to them, he would either kill them or be killed by them.
