This episode really showcases how much Uryu means to Yae. He was the first push for her to gain her freedom. But man, her screaming die old hag just implies what she feels for her true family. She wants the freedom to choose to do what she wants. The issue with Yae in the present is that she doesn't know what to do with that freedom. Still, to see the light in her eyes when she says she wants to be free is where we see the Yae we know.
Connecting the past to the present, the idea of Uryu will always find Yae creates a special connection between the two. We see Yae joining the Amagami shrine, where we also see a young Yuna and Asahi. This is where she found happiness. Obviously, there are bits where we can see Yae's genius even as a kid compared to Yuna and Asahi. But for her, she has found her happiness.
Gotta to love how in touch Yae is with her feelings. Just casually spending her time with Uryu, but is being respectful of his goals and not trying to push her feelings too strong. Though, she will try to spend as much time with him and be clingy. Though it is clear Asahi is getting jealous more and more.
the longer you continue. If you are looking for isekai it is quite varied.
