She lures her to a hotel in Bucharest, where she is ambushed and captured by Utrax. Hanna follows but is reunited with Marissa. Marissa and Hanna return to Paris, and Clara is re-introduced to the group at The Meadows. Pursuing Clara, Hanna finds the pharmaceutical company behind the Utrax medical implants and takes part in a drug trial. She discovers that the drugs are bound for the trainees at The Meadows.
Hanna returns to Pharmaceuticals and follows the drugs out of the city, aware that this will lead her to The Meadows.

Hanna Season 3 Review
The final season begins with Hanna returning to The Meadows with her cover as a loyal Utrax trainee intact. This is due to Carmichael who leads the trainee program but instead has been persuaded by Marissa to help them. This fun fact does indeed bring a sense of excitement to the beginning of the final season of Hanna.
All the major characters that we have been following from the first season have been build up so perfectly that this final season brings out all their potential out in the open in an epic finale. The unique relationship between Marissa and Hanna and their team up to destroy Ultrax is portrayed in a very solemn yet majestic way. The character development of Hanna from a teen who just wants to go beyond her isolated world to a person doing what she thinks is right truly gives out an appealing charm to her. The mystery of the character Gordon Evans is also an eye catching part of the third season which brings out a shadowy vibe to the story. As the only person who can scare the calm, cool and collected Marissa, the dark veil surrounding Evans brings out a very strong sense of anticipation and curiosity to the story.
Every scene in the final season is one full package of curiosity where each moment keeps you on the edge of your seats. It is so filled with unpredictability that it makes watching the final season so much more fun.
The genre of an action drama TV series based on secret agents is very common now but Hanna truly made an impact on this unique world. Every scene is full of moments that are very understandable and relatable once seen. This makes Hanna a very special series of this genre. The final season truly does justice to the story of Hanna and makes the entire trilogy an amazing saga.
