Meanwhile, the show’s “fake” farewell scene gives a wink to the audience. By Amy Wilkinson Audrina Patridge and Kristin Cavallari Photo: Matthias Clamer Four years, six seasons, two leading ladies and plenty of drama later, the trials and tribulations of a group of L.A. 20-somethings — or our chance to watch them, anyway — came to a rather surreal end on Tuesday night’s series finale of “The Hills.” The episode began with Audrina, Lo, Stephanie and Kristin contemplating their futures , realizing that each was setting out on her own path. For Audrina, that path led away from Hollywood and the drama of Justin Bobby and his ilk. Lo decided she’s ready to settle down. “I want little babies,” she squealed. Seeing her friends’ certain destinies and the big question mark looming in her future made Kristin decide it was time to shake things up. “I just need a change,” she said. Meanwhile, Stephanie wondered if she should make her romance official with Josh, Brody’s motocross-racing friend. She decided to visit him at the race track to see how he felt. “You’re like the manliest guy I’ve ever dated,” she said. “But at the same time, the sweetest too. I like hanging out with you a lot.” And there really wasn’t much to say after that, as the two declared they hadn’t seen anyone else since they started dating, and didn’t want to. Stephanie finally had someone she could call her boyfriend. Kristin caught up with Stacie to dish about her Brody drama and discuss her plans for the future. “It needs to be a big change,” she told Stacie of the shakeup she was planning. “I need to be completely uncomfortable, and I need to be scared again. The only place I can think of is somewhere in Europe.” Where? She wasn’t terribly specific on that point, but she knew what she didn’t want happening. “I don’t want to wake up in 10 years still looking for that guy,” Kristin lamented. “Brody found his girl, so I have to go find what I want.” Telling Brody, though, would prove a bit trickier. When she went to his condo to tell him about her plans, he couldn’t help but ask (rightfully so) if her decision to move abroad had anything to do with him. She denied it did and invited him to her going-away party. “I’m not going to celebrate you leaving,” he said. “I don’t want to see you leave.” But in the end, Brody showed up at Kristin’s party, trying again to dissuade her. But Kristin wasn’t budging. “I need to go somewhere to figure out who I am and what I want in life,” she explained. “Don’t leave,” Brody pleaded again, bringing Kristin and himself to tears as they hugged. Lo finally decided it was OK to break her rule about moving in with a guy she’s not engaged to, but it sounded as though she wouldn’t have to wait long for Scott to put a ring on it. “I want this to be a long- term deal,” he said. “I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I’d marry you right now.” As Kristin grabbed her luggage and cast a final wistful glance across her home, Brody pulled up just in time to say one final goodbye. “If I were to know that if I were to go and see someone else, you were to leave town because of that, I probably wouldn’t have done it,” he said. “I don’t want you leaving.” “I can’t believe this is really goodbye,” she said, and the former couple hugged a final time in front of the Hollywood sign before Kristin departed in a black town car. But then, as the camera focused on the abandoned Brody, the backdrop was wheeled away revealing a soundstage — a sly wink to the viewers of this La-La Land reality show.
