The show did come back down to earth (so to speak), after the rollercoaster season 7. Until season 8 Michael Filerman had no creative hand in the show because he took a back seat, the episode before Ana Alicia joined in season 1. I suppose there is the opinion if Melissa had really to go to the great vineyard in the sky then the mental card had to be played again. WRONG she ended up well screwed together at the close of the 7th.
Why not let an almighty battle commence between her and Angela? Richard and Lance would've had to choose a side. This storyline was being penned by Jeff, had he been in the hot seat for 1988-'89. Ana Alicia was on a win win, with her employment terms. Michael Filerman ballsed up, depriving us of Melissa after season 8 episode 3. A better strategy should have been used, with all due respect to him. Shoehorning Pilar and her family as supporting characters just made the show feel like 'wine with the Ortegas'.
@ClassyCo have a look at this article, when you get a minute. It's about the decline and fall of the wine saga:

Melissa sleeping her way to success. What a character.
Angela is standing in the ruins of the mansion, after Melissa's initiated fire ripped through it. Chao-Li is visibly upset after inspecting the state of the place; (a scene from season 8, 1988 - '89):
He says to Richard who was asking how the fire started: "Who can tell with accidents? Perhaps it was an electrical fire."
Richard who was incognito; after escaping the 13, speaks to his mother regarding Maggie who didn't know he was still alive.
Angela: "Well I told you to tell her. Most women like to know if their husbands are really dead or alive."
Richard: "Well its a little late to start teaching me about women."
Angela tries to crack a smile.
Richard: "Are you going to be alright?"
Angela looks up to the sky and says, "We are Giobertis Richard. We're not easily defeated. There will be a new Falcon Crest. You can mark my word!"
