Part02 of review:

Rose looked at her mother sadly. “I've had a life with you for nineteen years, but then I met the Doctor, and all the things I've seen him do for me, for you, for all of us. For the whole stupid planet and every planet out there. He does it alone, mum. But not anymore, because now he's got me.”

“No, Rose, you never listened!” Eleven snapped, shocking her into silence. “I treated you like a daughter, and you wilfully misinterpreted my actions every time since the first Slitheen invasion. Not to mention attempted to manipulate everyone into thinking I'm your boyfriend!”

Eight held his questions back. This was not to be missed. Now he finally understood what Mickey Smith had meant by a popcorn moment.

“I have family and friends back on Gallifrey, and they would have helped me with the Daleks on the Game Station had the timelines not given us a warning that you would abuse the TARDIS as you did. If we didn't know that some of it was, unfortunately, necessary for future events, and that you were supposed to be there for some events after they wouldn't have let you hurt the Old Girl. But my family has had enough and so have I! I told you we were about to part ways, and today is the storm that does it!” Eleven quickly put another medallion around Rose's neck as he added, “If you're not on Pete's World when we pull those levers then you're getting sucked into the Void. And it'll be on your head if that happens.”

I wonder if Rose is still going to be in denial that Eight is actually an earlier version of the Doctor…as Eleven had told Eight in the last story Rose seems to blank on things that she doesn’t like…I wonder if the Moment has screwed with her brain so much that she thinks that it’s the first timeline where the Doctor is the only one that survived the Time War…heck I wonder even if Rose saw an older Eight regenerate into Ten/Nine (in my crucible/metacrisis plot hypothesis detailed in part03 of this review) if she’d still be in denial over Eight being the Doctor…

…if it wasn’t for Pompeii I’d almost wonder if Pete, Jackie, and Mickey could prevent her from trying to get back into her regular universe…especially since Jackie and Mickey know that the Doctor isn’t interested in her in that way…
I would be a bit worried about how she might try to get around them to get back to her original universe (kill them?)…

Hopefully this Eleven doesn’t burn up a sun to “say goodbye” etc…though it might be good for him to warn Pete, Jackie, and Mickey about not trying to cross over if they value either universe…but Rose would likely still see it as the Doctor longing/pining for her…

“The breach is open! All the Daleks and Cybermen are going into the Void! Ha!” Eleven cried. “And what were you thinking?!” he shouted at her as more of their enemies flew by them. “Once the breach collapses, that's it. You will never be able to see her again. Your own mother! You'll get sucked in!”

“I made my choice a long time ago, and I'm never going to leave you!” she cried. “Why do you keep sending me away?!”

Eight kept low, looking for an opening to help deal with this unwanted intrusion. But the steady stream of Daleks and Cybermen all being sucked through the one broken window into the Void kept him in place.

Yeah, she’s nuts…like fatal attraction nuts…in the end she better never cross back over to this universe because at least Jenny would likely kill her or make her wish that she was dead…especially if she somehow actually got one of those beetles onto Donna…
