At the beginning of Season Three, Nate runs into Lisa at a grocery store in LA. She says she is in town for work and reveals that she is five months pregnant. It is revealed that she and Nate slept together the night he was in Seattle and she became pregnant with his child. She later falls pregnant with his child and eventually gives birth to a daughter that they name Maya before marrying. However, their marriage is a turbulent one as she continuously believes he harbors feelings for Brenda.

When Lisa goes missing, Nate is left to care for their daughter alone with the help of his family and later receives the grim news that Lisa's body has been found washed up on the beach near Carpinteria, California. It is implied that she was murdered by her brother-in-law Hoyt, with whom she had been having an affair, but this is never confirmed.
