Can Desperate Housewives bounce back?

Our critic couldn't hide her disappointment at this week's episode, as storylines felt boring and recycled. Looking ahead, the January 16 installment will attempt to right the Desperate ship via the following developments:

• Lynette tries to talk her mother out of marriage.
• Bree learns something about Keith's past.
• Susan befriends an elderly man in need of a kidney.
• Carlos grows concerned over Gaby.
• Paul books a cabin in the woods for him and Beth.
