This. It was a shame Marcia's pregnancy interrupted the story so they rushed the ending. Other than that season 1 was the only great mystery they managed to sustain for the full run of episodes. Hopefully season 8 can give us one final great, dark mystery that runs through the full season.

As much as I liked Paul and Felicia's return there wasn't really a mystery.

Completely agree with all fo this.

It wasn't so much of a mystery but more of a focus on Paul's panto schemes and then how him and Felicia were gonna come to blows. I thought the 'Who Shot Paul?' thing would be a massive mystery but it was awful

Yeah. I didn't understand why they gave them both a cliffhanger ending either.

I mean we're probably meant to assume Felicia died but they didn't make it definite. And Paul was getting arrested at the end of one episode and has no mention the next. As top characters who were there as part of the show's best story back at the beginning it was pretty shoddy. I reckon the season finale murder should have involved Paul or Felicia rather than the random stepfather.

As for the family from season 2 I can't remember much, but I remember loving the twist that it was the other brother who was the murderer and Bree broke out of hospital. That was very good.

I think it was deliberate that the Paul/Felicia thing finish in the penultimate ep and the finale focus on all the primary housewive's dramas because it was still uncertain if S7 would be the last. It gave enough time to wrap up the Paul/Felicia thign (even though it was still shoddy and like you said just expect us to assume she's dead and he's in jail) but set the path for what might be an 8th season

The Applewhite's were a very underappreciated family lol. Their mystery was different to Mary Alice's because we kinda knew early on what their deal was but it was how we expected it to be revealed (similar to Paul getting away with Martha's murder) but yeah the killer being the other brother was a neat twist to finish it off
