5.) I like how she walked out on Sherlock when he was a dick and meant it to be for good. Even though the audience knew it wasn't, Lucy played it without any sign of reluctance or regret. It put on the table she has limits, and when he passes them, done. For their relationship to go anywhere, he has to know exactly what she will and will not deal with, and she was eloquent in that. It also was a really interesting view into where her hot spots are; what he said was bad, yeah, but I think it was the surface accuracy, combined with the above anger thing, that set it over the top for her, combined with his attitude up until that point. He was trying to piss her off, that was obvious, and she had the common sense to realize that was no way to have a sober companion working relationship, much less have to live in the same goddamn house.
Yeah, I love that the show set up basically that, yes, this is a hard limit for Watson and if Holmes does not respect it, then she is done with him. I love that. Watson, in any incarnation, needs to have limits, needs to be able to say, "no further than this, Holmes". Because it's the sort of partnership that requires a lot of respect and trust and it has to exist on both sides.
Also, and I may be one of the very few, but I totally ship them like you have no idea. They embody all my favorite partnership tropes, and they already have the reluctant-admiration thing going on that they don't want to admit to, and they play off each other very, very well.

I totally ship them too.
