It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, but in the end it was all highly entertaining! The season finale of Secret Diary of a Call Girl finds Belle patching things up with Dr. Alex, only to be lured back into the game when Stephanie comes calling with one last job she just can't refuse. Our girl is super excited about getting back into the saddle, until she meets the client -- who of course turns out to be Alex. With their relationship officially kaput, Belle realizes that as much as she loved her man, she loves her trade more.

Depressed and confused, she takes her best mate's advice and begins writing a book -- all about the escorting business, naturally. Flash forward to our girl dressed up incognito, giving a TV appearance about her new bestseller. When the interviewer asks if she’ll ever tire of the industry, ever the cheeky Belle responds with, “Never. A girl’s gotta do her research,” setting us up for what can only be an equally saucy Season 3!

Here are my highlights from the season finale:

Best Song
Piece by Piece - Katie Melua

Worst Opening Line
Once upon a time there was an escort called Belle...

Best Stephanie-ism
“Escorts, you're like boxers. Retire every year then surface for a rematch a little fatter, and desperate, and further down the rankings.”

Most Devestating Expression
Belle's after opening the hotel door and realizing her mysterious client is none other than Dr. Alex.

The Saddest Goodbye
“I think you love this job more than you love me and when you stopped it was like a light went out in you.” - Alex breaking up with Belle for the last time.

Best Opening Line Re-write
The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a whore. In escorting, as in life, you don't always get the ending you expect but it helps if you write your own story.

Biggest Twist
Belle turning her life’s work into a steamy novel.

Best Exchange
Right before Belle heads out for her TV interview...

Bambi: Babes, you look like a transvestite.
Ben: A pretty one!
Belle: Yeah, thanks for your support.
