As with the last series, I think he's so preoccupied with making her fit with the demands of the plot that he's forgotten to give her a character.
This is just what Moffat DOES, and I've learned to ignore it.
* Take TEC/TDD, where Rose starts whining about "gimme some Spock" and being flirty with Nine, neither of which she ever does again * Take GITF, where everyone acts like a pod person ... Ten and Rose forget they're into each other (and he goes goo-goo for someone who is never mentioned ever again), Rose forgets she is jealous as a major character trait in the previous ep (and will be jealous in the next ep, and in TSE), Rose and Mickey forget that he's not really wanted aboard (which again, is kinda the whole point behind him staying behind in a parallel world in the very next 2-parter!!!!) * Take Blink, where the normally reticent Martha starts whining/nagging at Ten both times she is onscreen, neither of which she ever does again
Etc, etc, etc
Moffat comes up with a plot, and crams the characters into it, characterization and emotional arcs be damned. It's a big reason I can't stand him.
