Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In The Girl Next Door, it was confirmed that Duncan had broken up with Veronica before his sister died. Previously, some viewers had speculated that the breakup occurred after Lilly's death. The end of Like a Virgin included a statement by Abel Koontz that Veronica's father might actually be Jake Kane. Since then, many people speculated that Duncan may have broken up with Veronica because he believed her to be his sister. This statement was confirmed during A Trip to the Dentist when he tells Veronica that his mother had told him that Veronica's real father is Jake Kane (a statement which is later discovered to be false). In this episode we also find out that Duncan had slept with Veronica after each had unknowingly consumed a drink laced with GHB.

In Season 2, Veronica and Duncan start dating again after Duncan gives Veronica a fortune cookie that says "True Love Stories Never Have Endings." They date for the first half of the season, until his ex-girlfriend Meg dies in a coma from a bus crash that occurs in Normal Is the Watchword. Meg had been carrying Duncan's child, which is delivered shortly after her death. In Donut Run the two come up with an elaborate plan for Duncan to kidnap the baby girl (named Lilly) and take her to Mexico instead of allowing Meg's abusive parents to have custody.

Some time after fleeing Neptune, Duncan is seen again in Mollymook, Australia talking on the phone with Kane Software security chief Clarence Wiedman, moments after Wiedman has completed Duncan's ordered execution of Lilly's killer and Logan's father Aaron Echolls.
