Yaz says "are you feeling insecure? 'cos you seem to need a lot of praise?"

6. When she offered Nikola Tesla some sound advice (which totally wasn't meant for the Doctor to overhear).

Tesla saying it's his fault and Yaz shouldn't even be here while Yaz reassures him that even though he's a genius he doesn't have to figure everyone thing out by himself
she tells him that they're in it together

5. When — despite the Doctor's warning to "not interfere" — she traveled back to 1947 and saved her grandmother.
