Hannah McKay is a fictional character portrayed by Yvonne Strahovski, in the seventh and eighth seasons of the Showtime television series Dexter.
Hannah is first introduced in season 7, episode 3, "Buck the System", as the former accomplice of a spree killer, and Hannah becomes romantically involved with Dexter Morgan.
Hannah McKay was a 15-year-old from Clopton, Alabama when her boyfriend Wayne Randall commenced a three-state killing spree. She spent six years in juvenile detention after pleading guilty to being Randall's accomplice. She claimed not to have actually committed any of the murders and received immunity from prosecution after agreeing to testify against Randall.
She married an older man but poisoned him when he pressured her to have an abortion; she later claimed that she wanted to have the child. She inherited her gardening business from her mentor, whom she was later suspected of poisoning with aconitum.
When Randall decides to reveal where he buried the last of his victims, Miami Metro Homicide wants a DNA sample from Hannah. Dexter is assigned to get the sample, is immediately taken with her, and becomes uncharacteristically distracted in his work.
After Randall commits suicide, Hannah assists in locating the remaining bodies. After uncovering the bodies of a couple Randall killed, Dexter realizes Hannah’s story isn’t truthful. While on a date, Dexter takes Hannah to a closed Christmas-themed amusement park, where it turns out Dexter has a kill room set up. He prepares to kill Hannah, but cannot go through with it and releases her. They end up having sex in the kill room instead. They become a couple, and they both fall in love for the first time; he helps her by disposing of her abusive father, and she helps him realize that his "Dark Passenger" does not control his life.
When Sal Price, a true crime writer who has written a book about Wayne Randall, wants to write a sequel about Hannah, she agrees to an interview. She admits to stabbing the woman at the hotel and then poisons Price, who later collapses and dies in Dexter's apartment. Furious over Price's death, and knowing that Hannah had confessed to him, Dexter's adoptive sister Debra calls Hannah in for questioning. Debra has very little proof against Hannah and instead baits her with information about a miscarriage. Dexter later confronts Hannah at her home, telling her that Price's death was needless. Hannah is touched to learn that Dexter deleted Price's files. She and Dexter later sleep together.
