"I'm supposed to go," says Rose. Yeah. "To another world. And then it gets sealed off." The Doctor ducks away. "Forever." Rose laughs at the absurdity: "That's not gonna happen." The building begins to shake and crash. "We haven't got time to argue," says Pete. "The plan works, we go in. You too. All of us." Rose gets pissed: "I'm not leaving it." Jackie refuses to leave without her daughter. Pete gets exasperated: "Oh my God. We're going." Jackie shakes her head: "I've had twenty years without you, so button it. I'm not leaving her." Rose tells Jackie she's got to, and Jackie tells her that's tough. One minute to reboot. Rose: "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." She begs her mother with tears in her throat to understand. Behind her is the Doctor. With a yellow button on a chain. "But not anymore," Rose swears. "'Cause now he's got me." She backs away from Jackie, from Mickey and Peter and Jake. Toward the Doctor. The Doctor loops the chain around Rose's neck and Pete presses the button, and they all disappear. The Doctor stands alone, staring at the place Rose just was.
Everyone appears in the other Torchwood, and Rose thinks of Emergency Protocol One. Of what love can make you do. "Oh, no you don't. He's not doing that to me again." She presses the button and reappears before the Doctor.
