Spoiler alert: We might now know who gets killed off Desperate Housewives.

In September, creator Marc Cherry said there will be a major mid-season cliffhanger that has "to do with Paul Young." He then added that a big-time character will meet his/her demise around February Sweeps.

Combine this information with the latest TV Guide Mega Buzz column. It reports that Desperate Housewives will follow in the mysterious footsteps of Dallas and ask "Who shot Paul Young?" at some point this season.

Who will be the culprit? Naturally, all Wisteria Lane residents will be considered suspects, but the magazine teases:

Will anyone corroborate the story of Felicia Tillman's operative, who will be exposed in the aftermath? Let the guessing games begin - and let's hope it's half as juicy as the real-life developments with Eva Longoria, Tony Parker and Erin Barry.
