The “Housewives” returned last night for their heavily promoted final season. What if I don’t want to kiss them goodbye?

Most of the show dealt with the girls reaction to having to bury Gabby’s evil step-father off in the woods. Some time passed, and we saw how they were all dealing with the guilt and fear. Bree appears to be living with Chuck, her cop boyfriend. She’s constantly worried though that he’ll catch onto them. Carlos’ guilt is eating him alive, and a priest told him he should confess to the authorities to find absolution. Carlos won’t, as innocent people will go down with him. Susan has distanced herself from all the girls, and of course Mike fears the problem is with their marriage. Lynette and Tom have been keeping up a charade of a happy marriage, but Tom eventually caved and is about to tell the kids the truth after Lynette used him for a night of sex and comfort. Renee meanwhile has been trying to get into the pants of the hot new neighbor, but he’s not letting her in.

Lynette, once again, got on my nerves. I feel like over the course of all these years, she’s the only housewife who hasn’t grown at all. When it seemed like she might be able to work things out with Tom, who really wanted to, she claimed it wasn’t going to happen and their night of sex was just about her needing a bit of comfort. Boo Lynette! Boo!

The end of the show had a nod to the very first episode. Bree ended up finding a note in her mailbox that said “I know what you did, you make me sick.” Loved that throwback! I can’t wait to find out who knows what they did, and what they’ll do about it.
