Quote 4

I said...that Lugh sounds too good to be true. (8.53)

Now ain't this the truth, Jack. We love Lugh and all, but Saba needs to lose her idealized view of her bro if they're ever going to develop an adult relationship.

Quote 5

Don't say that, he says. Don't ever say that. You are somethin, Saba. Somethin good an strong an true. With him or without him. (8.67)

Even after everything she's been through, Saba still thinks she isn't as good of a person as Lugh. It's a real drain on her confidence. Luckily, she has Jack around, who rightfully points out all of the amazing stuff she has done over the time he's known her.

Quote 6

They're gonna need you, Saba, he says. Lugh an Emmi. There'll be others too, many others, who will look to you, an you'll hafta stand alone. (8.1272)

Nothing like a good old "Ghost Dad" dream to bring a hero's quest into full focus, huh? Here, we get the sense that Saba's coming-of-age experience has actually only just begun, and she will need to mature even more if she hopes to live up to the challenges that are in her future.
