That's a wrap.

Here we go, it's the end of another year of bad decisions, blank stares and relationship vacations. The Hills season finale is finally here! Just about everyone got some screen time (the back of the head is Whitney) and it really felt great to see everyone one last time before the break. Be. Strong. Here we go!

Audrina is taking Justin Bobby's advice and looking into getting her own apartment. Her first stop is an open loft with an awesome wall of windows. Sober J.Bob is totally zen with life. He is actually making reasonable arguments about why Audrina should consider moving out. It's odd. Audrina has yet to talk to Lauren about possibly moving out. I see a heart-to-heart in her future. Could Lauren be saying goodbye to another roommate at the end of a season?

Spencer has taken up residence in casa Heidi and since she's still in Vegas, she probably doesn't mind too much. ShePratt offers to tell him where Heidi is and he "promises not to do anything crazy." Question: does anything Spencer ever promises to do end up coming to fruition? The answer, simply, is no. He's gonna screw things up royally for her. And he's taking ShePratt with him!

Heidi and Brent are taking a tour of the casino/hotel with Sam in an effort to reinvent the place. Heidi is the driving force behind this retooling and that's scary, but she does seem to be taking it seriously. I'm sure it's a lot easier to get work done when your psychotic boyfriend/fiance isn't constantly interrupting everything you're doing.

Lauren and Whitney talk about the sitch with Audrina and Whit suggests a "roommate dinner" to talk about any issues that are brewing among the girls. Kinda cheesy, but it's a good idea to at least talk to Audrina since Lauren never sees her. Apparently the guest house is like a whole other world.

The Pratts are hitting up Vegas. ShePratt totally screws Heidi and finds out where she is (via random phone call) and Spencer then drives right to the hotel, parks the car in the loading area (leaving ShePratt there by herself) and runs inside. He continues his jackassery by interrupting Heidi, Sam, Brent and some other dude and asks for "a word with" Heidi outside. I am embarrassed for Heidi right now. Speidi fight and Spencer admits that he wants them to get back together and Heidi yells at him for not loving her enough to understand that she's in an important meeting for her career. He then begs her to come back to LA with him. Cut to Heidi walking back to Brent and the boys just as they are leaving for the night. After Brent tells Heidi to get her sh*t together ("You only get one chance with Sam"), he leaves and now Heidi's alone with her head in her hands.

The "roommate dinner" idea fails because either Lauren didn't make the invite expressly clear to Audrina, or Audrina had other plans that she didn't mention to Lauren. As Lauren and Lo are making the meal, Audrina heads out on her own, leaving the girls bewildered. Lauren decides that they need to have a heart-to-heart. Duh, I called it.

Back in Vegas, Brent is waiting for Heidi to show up, but Sam pulls up and tells him they need to go. Brent tries calling one more time, to no avail, so they leave. What happens next will shock you: Heidi, Spencer and ShePratt riding down the escalator at the airport, getting ready to head back to LA. I have too many problems with this scenario to even begin to list, but most important is why didn't she call Brent and explain or apologize for BEING AN IDIOT?!! Seriously? This girl better be getting fired.

Here comes the heart-to-heart. It starts out casually enough, but Audrina has been harboring some resentment towards Lauren and Lo and when that surfaces it comes as a real surprise to Lauren, who didn't realize that she had done anything wrong. Audrina says that she feels that Lo is pushing them apart, and Lauren starts to cry, since she and Lo are BFF. Obviously, Audrina isn't going to win in a battle over who gets to hang out with Lauren all the time, and it seems as if Audrina can't handle being second fiddle. Sadly, Lauren seems to know what has to happen next and walks out, back into her apartment with Lo.

At the same time, Speidi pull up to the old apartment. They BOTH go inside. It looks like the dramatic (read: ridiculous) gesture worked for Heidi. Maybe she just needed to know just how crazy Spencer was before she got back together with him. They're both insane.

And that's it. Another season over. I'll also be watching the Hills live after show because apparently they are going to play a sneak peak "shocking" trailer for season four.

UPDATE: Shocking? Definitely not. Same ol' sh*t, different day? Sounds about right. Lauren enters the dating scene again; Audrina and Lo have a confrontation about the whole Lauren thing; Scary lady talks to Whitney about moving to NYC; Spencer vows never to speak with ShePratt again after he throws her a bday party (she invited Lauren); and blank stares aplenty! Oh, and it starts in AUGUST! What?! That's insane - we hardly have to wait at all!

I was starting to miss the Hills. Really. I haven't watched the actual show in a while and I thought I might tune in last night. Luckily, my jet lag prevailed. Had I watched Heidi go back to Spencer I might have thrown something at the TV. The drama with Lauren and the roomies, I can actually relate to. When you get a few girls living together, there's always someone feeling left out. But the drama with Speidi is just too much. I can't handle seeing a girl act like such an idiot!

The only song that I saw referenced on another recap was Missy Higgins' "Where I Stood" but that might not be the one you are asking about. Not sure...
