[edit] Biography
Many years before the beginning of the show, he helped his wife dispose of Deirdre Taylor's body after Mary Alice killed her. After Mary Alice's suicide, Paul found a threatening note in his wife's personal belongings. He spent a long time investigating who sent the note to her, and when he found out it was his neighbor Martha Huber (who showed no remorse for causing Mary Alice's death, saying she was a horrible person), he murdered her. Paul planted Martha Huber's bracelet and ring in Mike Delfino's garage to try to frame him. With the help of Martha Huber's sister, Felicia Tilman, Mike Delfino discovered that Paul and Mary Alice had murdered his wife Deirdre. Mike kidnapped Paul, intending to kill him, but spared his life when he realized that Zach, Paul's son, was actually Deirdre's child and therefore Mike's son.
Felicia Tilman, however, was still intent on making Paul Young pay for her sister's death. Felicia planned to inform Noah Taylor about Paul's involvement in the murder of Noah's daughter Deirdre, hoping that Noah would take justice into his own hands. Her plan failed, however, when Zach Young blackmailed his grandfather into sparing Paul. She moved back onto Wisteria Lane and terrorized Paul. After Paul lost control and attacked her in front of several witnesses, she seized her chance, faked her own murder (even cutting off two of her fingers), and faked evidence that implicated Paul. Paul was arrested and was subsequently abandoned by Zach after he inherited his grandfather's fortune and realized that Paul was indeed responsible for Martha Huber's death.
In Season 3, Paul is no longer a main cast member and did not even make a guest appearance until Episode 11, when Mike Delfino encountered him in prison. Paul, whom Mike has little or no memory of, tells him that he believes Mike is innocent of the murder of Monique Pollier. Furthermore, Paul pays two inmates to attack Mike and then rescues him in order to gain his trust. Paul did this because he needed a favor from Mike-to ask his biological son (and Paul's adoptive son) Zach to come visit Paul in prison. Zach agrees to come see Paul, but once again denies him help in getting out of prison.
