Biography[]
Season 3[]
| Hannah is first seen during an incident Captain Gregson has with her partner, Officer Stotz. Captain Gregson punched Stotz in front of many officers for molesting his daughter. Hannah demands her father shake Stotz's hand at roll call and tells him to not protect her anymore as she's capable of taking care of herself and has career ambitions.[1] She's next seen asking Watson for help with a rash of pharmacy robberies in her neighborhood. Watson solves the case and believes Hannah is dedicated but green. Holmes believes she is a middling detective at best and doesn't have a future as one. Instead of following Watson's advice to hand the case over to her superior and take down a drug ring, Hannah apprehends the robbers in order to get credit. Eventually, Hannah feels guilt and tells her father who requests that Watson not help her with any more cases.[2] |

| Unknown to Holmes and Watson, Hannah investigates Michael on her own. After he assaults Watson and is wounded, Hannah deduces that Michael will go to the home of a friend from support meetings, Denny Mulgrew, who was a field medic, to be stitched up. Hannah waits until Mulgrew leaves and enters the house, planning to shoot Michael. She decides instead to beat him to death with a baton, not knowing that he was leaving a voicemail that records the murder, including his last word "Joan", which Hannah doesn't hear. Hannah then uses an accomplice and a garbage truck to dump Michael's body in a dump. After Watson is implicated in the murder, Holmes discovers that Captain Gregson erased video evidence from the garbage truck depot to aid Hannah. Holmes meets Hannah, has her produce the murder weapon and then he confesses to the crime.[5]
