At the end of season 7, Carlos had accidentally killed Gaby's stepfather in order to stop him from attacking Gaby. Bree, Susan, and Lynette arrived in the aftermath of the murder and agreed to help the Solis' clean up the accident. Season 8 will focus on the fallout from the murder. Carlos will feel increasingly guilty and Gaby will be working hard to reach out to him. Susan's guilt causes her to withdraw from her family and friends. Lynette and Tom's marriage will continue to deteriorate and Lynette is "having trouble making the right choices ever since she participated in the cover-up". Bree, meanwhile, will have to do a lot of side-stepping around her new boyfriend, Detective Chuck Vance, in order to keep the secret.
At today's TCA panel, Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry said that this was the right time to end the show and know that it will end will allow them to "end this in the classiest way possible." Cherry promises season 8 will go back to its roots: "The mystery of what's going on this season harkens back to the first season [and the mystery of Mary Alice]." Fans also shouldn't expect a spin-off in the near future. Cherry wants to focus on retooling his pilot Hallelujah, which wasn't picked up for the 2011-2012 season but is being worked on for the future.
