That was an almost stereotypical RTD finale - a strong emotional core, with a resolution that threatens to go off the rails entirely.
The actual resolution of the Sutekh part was probably the weakest aspect, for me. The Doctor...threw him into the time vortex again, but this time it's permanent, I guess precisely because he'd done it once before. Okay, fine, I guess.
The stuff with Ruby's mother resolved more nicely, even if I'm not sure the actual events on Ruby Road hold together all that well. The idea of someone being important simply because people believed her to be important is a nice sentiment, and Louise's ordinariness makes Ruby a kind of anti-Clara (I really like Clara, but I still think this is a good thing).
Mrs. Flood still doesn't seem evil to me.
It's not terribly satisfying outcome, admittedly. I mean, it was fun to watch in the moment, sure, but it's not exactly a clever resolution... 🤷
Yeah, I think it works well enough, even if it's not super compelling.
