Although Lisa was only helping Mason, Julia began to feel threatened by Lisa's beauty. When Mason and Lisa went to the Clearsprings rehab clinic together, Julia found out about their trip and feared they were having an affair. She followed the two and finally learned the truth, causing Mason and Julia to grow closer. Lisa, however, started to fall apart in the middle of May. She almost drank again at a hotel room, where she had been pushed to the bottle years earlier after getting dumped by a married man. She called Mason, and he and Julia came to her aid. By then, they considered Lisa a friend and she attended their June wedding. Mason tried to play matchmaker by arranging for Frazier, a lawyer, to be Lisa's date, but nothing came of it. Around this time, Lisa confessed to Celeste that she was an alcoholic. Celeste, in turn, told her sister about her past as a prostitute.

Spying
When Mason and Julia got back from their honeymoon, they learned that someone was passing along financial documents and a possible takeover attempt of Capwell Enterprises was feared. Mason decided to go to Tokyo to get more facts, but the spy turned out to be none other than Lisa! She made several secret phone calls, and her boss told her to make copies of files having to do with CE. Lisa broke into Mason's desk drawer and when he found it unlocked, he didn't suspect Lisa for one minute and instructed her to beef up security. Also ironic was the fact that Julia gave her a bonus, which a guilt-ridden Lisa didn't want to accept. When Julia caught Lisa faxing secret documents and calling her boss, she managed to cover both times.

Soon after Lisa came to town, she was hired by Mason.

Lisa's boss was Robert Barr, a manipulative businessman who was determined to take over Capwell Enterprises. Upon Robert's arrival in town, Lisa was instantly tempted to drink. Although he complimented her on her work, Robert now wanted her to sleep with Mason for information and get him to start drinking again. Following Barr's instructions, Lisa planted a bottle of alcohol in Mason's office. When Mason found it, he didn't fall off the wagon and instead asked Lisa if she was drinking again, offering his help. That same night, psychic Sandra Mills spotted Lisa leaving Robert's hotel room. It looked like Sandra was going to tell Mason and Julia, but she changed her mind when Mason snubbed her.

For quite a while, Lisa seemed to be willing to do anything for Robert. The two shared a romantic past, even though he had been married at the time, and all that mattered to Lisa was that he was here now. But when Robert took an interest in Gina Timmons, a jealous Lisa got fed up and told him how he had pushed her to the bottle by standing her up that time in the hotel room. Nevertheless, Robert urged a reluctant Lisa to stick with him.

Departure
Mason finally learned the truth about Lisa when he saw his "faithful" secretary going through his files. He checked the phone records and discovered that she had been calling Robert Barr. He then used her to leak false information about a potential investor. When that plan backfired, Mason confronted Lisa and fired her, demanding to know why she had sold him out to Barr. She confessed that Robert was the married man who had dumped her and when Mason wanted to know how he could stop him, Lisa said Mason would have to leave the country for a while. After that, it was mentioned that Lisa had left town as well.

Aside from a goodbye letter to Emily, Lisa wasn't heard from for months. After Emily married Greg Hughes, he surprised her around Christmas time with a phone call from Lisa. When Mason fell off the wagon in early 1990, his family staged an intervention and Emily mentioned that Lisa had cried upon hearing the news about him.
