Susan's story

Susan Delfino is married to Mike. Susan, Mike, and Julie welcome Mike's younger brother, Terry, and his wife to Wisteria Lane. This season's mystery will revolve around Terry and his wife. Terry will reportedly be seen as disturbed. Susan has also been said to be revealed as pregnant in the first episode of the season. No spoilers have surfaced about Terry and/or his story but it seems as though Susan and Mike will be expecting a child together but will have a complicated pregnancy. She will be 40 years old which makes this spoiler plausible. Mike will try his parenting skills on Julie and she is less than enthused with it. Marc Cherry has claimed that a housewife will resort to having an abortion this season, and Susan is the only pregnant housewife thus far in spoilers other than Bree's fake pregnancy. Edie also goes to a gynocolegist, and says that she is hit with a bullet she has been dodging. It is possible that even while using her birth control pills that she became pregnant with Carlos' child.

Lynette's story

Lynette Scavo is sick with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Polly Bergen will stick around for a while as Lynette Scavo's mother, Stella Wingfield, a recurring role introduced in the season 3 finale.[4] Tom and Lynette's marital problems continue, despite Lynette's cancer. Also, Doug Savant revealed in an interview on The View that Jason Gedrick will return as Rick Coletti in season 4. Kayla's feud with Lynette escalates this season.

Bree's story

Bree Hodge is pretending to be pregnant with her daughter Danielle's baby so she can raise the baby without anyone knowing it's Danielle's. Bree clashes with Katherine, Wisteria Lane's newest resident, when she claims that one of Bree's recipes is from a book. Bree wants a recipe from Katherine, but she won't give it to her. Katherine tells Bree that she doesn't think she has a good mother/daughter relationship with Danielle, but then acts condescendent when she tells her how proud she should be of her employee-of-the-month-at-a-pizzeria son. Katherine thinks Bree's mood shifts are because of her pregnancy. Katherine is Bree's counterpart, as they both have anal-retentive homemaking skills. Katherine's entire family shows up. They include her 17-year-old daughter, Dylan, who is just as boy-crazy as Danielle, and her new gynecologist younger husband and Dylan's stepfather, Adam. This family, excluding Adam, lived in that same house 12 years ago. Dylan doesn't like her new bedroom because there's not enough room to put her stuff. She wants a new bedroom, and the bedroom she wants is locked. Katherine remembers this room from when she lived there before. She won't let anyone near the locked bedroom, and Adam is shocked by Katherine's outburst about the room. After this, Dylan plays her violin intensely, which is what she does to cover up her emotions, and ends up with a stream of blood running down her wrist. Dylan and Julie were friends when Katherine and Dylan lived there before. Julie shows Dylan around Wisteria Lane as a refresher, but Dylan doesn't remember much. Julie tells her about a bike accident that Dylan doesn't remember. She claims to not have learned how to ride a bike until they moved to Chicago, Illinois, which is where they moved back from. Dylan has sex with Adam. Susan goes to the gynecologists' office, and she is mortified to learn that her regular gynecologist is out and Adam will be her substitute. Susan is very uncomfortable with her new neighbor's face in her vagina.

Gabrielle's story

Gabrielle is newly wedded to Fairview's mayor Victor Lang, and the table turns on Carlos when he is the other man with his ex wife. Speaking of other men, Gabrielle's ex teenage gardner she had an affair with in season one, John, will be back in the fourth season, which will make it his first appearance on the show in over a year. There will be a death in November sweeps, that is rumored to be Victor.

Edie's story

News spreads throughout Wisteria Lane about Edie's attempted suicide.
