Well, at the current pace of 2 manga chapters per week in the anime, as opposed to one new chapter a month from the manga it follows, it is only a matter of time until it runs up against its limit and either has to go off on its own branch (which would provide extremely mixed results) or go on a hiatus to give the manga more time to work.

I suppose they could break the season after Lala's inclusion and then enter a hiatus. That would be a rather good stopping point and would leave the manga with some more lead still left before it starts back up. I've seen too many anime try to finish themselves with a false deadline and shortsell themselves (Akame ga Kill comes to mind). On the other hand, proper pacing of itself with the manga can allow for a satisfactory faith to the subject material, as was achieved with Naruto's canon, though I admit I don't know the exact differences in time between episodes versus time between chapters, how many chapters were cleared in an episode, how long hiatuses were, etc.

Twelve or thirteen episodes would probably bring them roughly to the Lala point, I believe, though I haven't looked to make sure. In any case, there is no way the anime could end itself at that point given its current pace. If it tried to, it would ruin itself. More likely, it will be a season break, and the question will simply be whether or not they'll ever make another season, not whether or not the story ends there.
