The ending is forshadowed in the title, so I knew Adriana was gone before the movie started, but her suicide did come as a surprise, considering that we didn't get a lot of overt clues that she was having serious trouble dealing with the humiliation and exploitation and sexism she experienced. It seemed like she wasn't letting that defeat her. The writer's words bothered her and made her realize that she was a bimbo, but then she went right on being a bimbo, so it looked like she came to terms with it. I knew that somebody was going to fall off the balcony after the camera followed the water Adriana was spraying down to the ground, and when I saw that baby at the railing I got a little worried, but it was no surprise that it was Adriana. It did seem to come at a surprising time since she seemed to be enjoying her last all-nighter more than others we saw, but even a good time can't overcome the kind of depression she was suffering. It wasn't until her suicide that I felt sympathy for her and realized that she wasn't so empty-headed after all. I think that's why the scene was necessary and not just tacked on.
