Lisa Braeden

Lisa Braeden was a yoga instructor that had the "best night of her life" with Dean when they met in 1999, while he was on his own since his father and Sam were hunting a banshee. Later on, she hooked up with a scarred guy she met in a biker bar and got pregnant. She eventually bore her son, Ben, who bears a striking resemblance to Dean.

Season 3
In "The Kids Are Alright", Dean pays a visit to Lisa hoping to sleep with her again, making her another one of his many dying wishes, while investigating the death of a man in the area who "fell" on his power saw. She's very surprised to see Dean and asks how long it's been. Dean answers eight going on nine years. He then tells her that he was passing through and couldn't resist stopping by remembering how much she loved surprises. She tells Dean that he caught her at a bad time due to the fact that she's having a party. After being invited in, Dean is surprised to figure out that the party is for her son, Ben. Noting the similarities between himself and Ben after seeing the boy's appearance and seeing that he loves AC/DC, Dean asked Lisa how old he was. She answers that he's eight years old.

She excuses herself to talk to one of the mothers at the party, who is also the ex-wife of the man who died. She asks the mother how she's doing. The mother says that she is fine, but worried that something is wrong with her daughter. Lisa replied that is to be expected since the girl lost her father. The mother replied that's not what she meant and that she doesn't believe the little girl in front of them is really her daughter. Lisa then tells the mother that she can't talk like that since her daughter needs her and that she'll get her help. The mother becomes upset and leaves with her daughter. Dean meet ups with Lisa again telling her that he met Ben. He makes a comment about how it's ironic that Ben is turning eight and how it's been eight years since they last saw each other. She laughs and asks him if he's asking if Ben is his son. Dean denies this, but quickly asks her if Ben is. She tells him no, but Dean remains unconvinced as he watches Ben hit on a girl. Dean then asks Lisa if something is wrong with her friend, seeing the upset mother leave with her daughter. Lisa tells Dean that she recently lost her ex-husband due to power saw accident. She also reveals that there's been a lot of bad luck in her neighborhood lately to which Dean asks about.

Later on, she becomes furious at Dean for teaching Ben how to beat up a bully who stole his game. When Dean tells her to relax, she takes him aside to talk to him. She asks him why he's still even here. She lectures him saying that they had one weekend together, that he doesn't know her, and more importantly he had no business with her son. Dean tries to talk to Lisa, but she leaves with Ben and tells him to stay away from them. She is then surprised when Ben pulls away from her so he can hug Dean and thank him. The two then leave.

After learning that the children of the neighborhood are being replaced changelings, Dean stops by Lisa's house realizing that she and Ben are in danger. He tells her that he feels bad about not getting Ben a gift for his birthday so he gives Lisa a credit card telling her to go on a trip with Ben. She tells him that he should leave after seeing that the credit card had a fake name on it. Ben then appears and asks Lisa to make Dean leave. She then tells Dean to leave, but he tries to stay realizing that it's too late and that Ben has been replaced with a changeling. Lisa then slams the door on Dean.

Later, the changeling posing as Ben tells Lisa that he's hungry. When she goes to get him food, she sees the changeling's true form through its reflection on the coffee table. She immediately asks where Ben is. The changeling says he's Ben to which she replies that he is not her son. She then grabs car keys and runs out the front door. She soon goes back into the house as three more changelings posing as children are outside preventing her escape. When she reenters the house, the changeling posing as Ben says, "They don't want you to leave me Mommy". She then watches the changeling burst to flames after Dean and Sam torch the mother changeling.

The next day, Dean and Sam drive Ben back to Lisa. She hugs Dean and thanks him for he has done. She then asks Dean what just happened. After Dean, Lisa, and Ben go into the house, Dean explains to Lisa about the changelings and how his job is dealing with the supernatural. Dean then asks Lisa if she is sure that Ben is not his son. She tells him that he's off the hook, that she did a blood test when Ben was a baby. She goes on saying that Ben's father is a scarred guy she met at a biker bar. Lisa then tells Dean that he looks disappointed. Dean replies that when comparing her life as a mother to his, he can only think about the fact that the only thing he's leaving behind is his car. She tells Dean that even though Ben isn't his son, he wouldn't be alive if it weren't for him and that's a lot to leave behind in her opinion. As Dean begins to leave, he turns around and tells Lisa that she has a great kid and that he would've been proud to be his father. Lisa runs over to him and kisses him. She then invites him to stay a couple more days, but he reluctantly refuses and says that her life isn't his and then leaves.

In "Dream a Little Dream of Me", Lisa appeared as a dream of Dean's, where she had set up a picnic and apparently they were married due to her saying that they had 20 minutes till they had to pick up Ben from baseball. She then told Dean that she loved him before disappearing.

He drives to Lisa's new home and pays her a visit. Lisa is again very shocked to see Dean. Dean asks how Ben is. She says he's fine and away at baseball. She then asks him if he's alright. Dean tells her no and goes on about how he's realistic about the type of life he has and how it will end and that he's ok with that. He then tells Lisa that when he pictures himself happy he's with her and Ben. She invites him inside for a beer, but Dean tells her he can't and to take care of herself as he turns around to leave. Lisa stops him and tells him that he can't just leave after saying that. He says he knows that, but he doesn't have a choice. Dean goes on telling her that things are about to get bad. She asks if he means his kind of "bad" to which Dean replies worst and that the next few days will be scary. He goes on telling her not to worry because he's making arrangements for her and Ben. Lisa confused by what he's saying asks him what he's talking about. Dean explains that the "people" he's seeing aren't going to get anything from him unless they agree to his conditions. Lisa again tells Dean to come inside and not to do whatever he's thinking about doing. He sadly says he has to do it. She then asks him to stay at least an hour so he can say goodbye to Ben. He replies that it's better if he doesn't and then kisses her on the cheek before he leaves. In "Swan Song", while driving to Detroit to confront Lucifer, Sam makes Dean promise to not try to release him from Lucifer's Cage after they trap Lucifer. He also makes Dean promise to live a normal "apple pie" life with Lisa. At the end of the episode, Dean makes good on his promise and drives to Lisa's. When Lisa opens the door and sees Dean, she says, "Thank God. Are you alright?". Dean says yea and asks her if it's not too late could he take her up on that beer. She tells him it's never too late and allows him in. As Dean walks in, he begins to break down and starts to cry. Lisa tries to comfort him by embracing him and telling him that everything will be alright. Later, as Dean is having dinner with Lisa and Ben, the street light flickers and Sam is seen watching them through a window.

The next day, Lisa finds Dean again in the garage, after he encountered sulfur by the neighbour's house which made him run into the garage to get his guns or whatnot. Lisa acts curious when Dean hesitates to give straight answers. She finds him hard to believe when he says that nothing is going on. She asks anxiously if he's hunting something but Dean says that he got worked up over nothing. Dean then suggests Lisa and Ben to go to the movies to make sure he got the area 'sweeped' up. Lisa agrees and kisses him, leaving Dean in the garage. After Dean finally met Sam and Samuel/cousins, he is informed my the loose gjinn and that it was going after him.
