Hannah comes to Pine Valley, but as time goes on, she realizes how much she missed when she gave Ethan up for adoption.

After returning to Pine Valley, Hannah starts working on an assignment given to her by Adam Chandler, pointed against Zach's company, which she later regrets doing.

She steals the company from Zach while he is preoccupied with getting Kendall Hart's legal affairs in order.

After hearing that Kendall has been sentenced to community service, Hannah attempts to shoot her while she is partying at Greenlee Smythe's apartment.

While Zach is searching for Hannah, she runs into Sean Montgomery, whom she takes back to her hotel room and sleeps with.
