When Wesley dropped the knife, I always thought it was out of shock at seeing Angel embracing Faith. It would have felt like a betrayal to see the woman who'd just a few moments ago been torturing him being comforted by his friend/boss. The next episode showed clearly what he thought of Faith, and that it was his belief in Angel that prevented him from working with the Watcher's Council's agents.
