The women of Wisteria Lane return for a fourth season, though some plots feel a bit tired.

The tornado episode is meant to be the big shocker episode, like last season's supermarket hostage episode. But while that episode was taut and scary, "Something's Coming” goes too far over the top, causing inappropriate laughter rather than concern.
This season, Katherine (Dana Delany) moves to Wisteria Lane with her younger husband, Adam (Nathan Fillion), and a teenage daughter in tow. As expected on "Desperate Housewives,” Katherine is hiding a dark secret.
Meanwhile, Susan (Teri Hatcher) deals with a pregnancy as her new husband, Mike (James Denton), deals with an addiction. Bree (Marcia Cross) fakes a pregnancy to protect the reputation of her daughter. Lynette (Felicity Huffman) battles cancer, her mother and the return of an ex-paramour. And Gabrielle (Eva Longoria Parker), bored with her stuffed-shirt husband, begins an affair with former husband Carlos (Ricardo Chavira).
Excellent guest stars, including Gary Cole and Justine Bateman, join a talented cast to show "Desperate Housewives” still has appeal, even in a somewhat flawed, strike-shortened fourth season.
