Hannah Wells is a main character in the Prime Video original series, Off-Campus. She is the main female protagonist of the first season. She is portrayed by Ella Bright. A music composition major with straight-A smarts and sharp humor who's crushing on Justin Kohl. She strikes a deal with Garrett Graham: he'll pose as her boyfriend to attract Justin in exchange for tutoring. Their fake relationship sparks something real. A Briar University aspiring music major, and the female lead of the first book and season of Off Campus.

Biography Hannah was born in Ransom, Indiana as the only the child of Greg and Carrie Wells. They supported her dreams of pursuing music and the arts. She was in band during high school, where her father served as the conductor. They were a happy family who were respected in the community. Hannah wasn't overly social in high school, but attended a party one night where she accepted a drink from the mayors son, Aaron Delaney. Aaron had roofied the drink and subsequently raped Hannah that night. She reported the assault to her parents. Her mom took her to the police station where she wrote a statement. The case went to trial, though Aaron's status in the community combined with his teammates testimonies led Hannah to lose the case.

Her family was exiled from the community and lost their jobs. Despite the financial difficulties, Greg and Carrie insisted that Hannah attend therapy sessions. The sessions were difficult in the beginning, especially because writing triggered her memories of the police report. Over time, the sessions helped her realize that the rape doesn't define her. She learned to move forward and was accepted into Briar University in Massachusetts under a classical composition scholarship. She lived on on-campus with Allie Hayes, who quickly became her best friend.

Brainy Brunette: She is brown-haired and academically smart as she gets an A+ in a famously difficult Philosophy. It's All My Fault: She thinks so about her reporting her sexual assault, because it caused economical and social strains to her family. Love Confession: She and Garrett do it to each other, marking the turn of the relationship from a fake one to a real one. Relationship Upgrade: After their fake relationship, she and Garrett develop feelings for each other, so they decide to make their relationship real. Romantic Fake–Real Turn: She and Garrett agree to fake date, with Hannah clarifying she has a crush on Justin and Garrett clarifying that he has no interest in having a serious relationship. The two of them end falling in love with each other for real. Secret-Keeper: She pieces together the truth about Garrett's childhood after seeing the bruises on Cindy's wrist and his reaction to them. Their First Time: After their fake and real relationship and all their individual issues, she and Garrett have theirs. Troubled Fetal Position: After Garrett breaks up with her, she immediately runs hiding in the locker room and sits in this position while crying. Undying Loyalty: She supports Allie through all, from her acting aspirations to her relationships. Unrequited Love Switcheroo: She has a crush on Justin, while Justin has never paid attention to her. As soon as she starts fake dating Garrett, Justin gets interested in her. However, by the time he develops feelings for her, she falls out of love with Justin and in love with Garrett. Accidental Pervert: A Rare Female Example. This is how Hannah and Garrett officially meet despite being in the same philosophy class until this particular incident: she walked in on him in the shower while cleaning the men's locker room as part of her job as a janitor for the school. She's more embarrassed about it than he is and literally falling over herself as she scrambles to run out and give him privacy. Adaptational Backstory Change: Logan's backstory is noticeably changed from the books. In the books, his father was the Alcoholic Parent who ran the autoshop and his only sibling was an older brother. In the show, his mother is the alcoholic and owner of the autoshop, and he has a younger sibling named Jules. Also, while Logan had a good relationship with his mother in the book, here their relationship is extremely strained due to his mother's alcoholism, and it's implied his relationship with his father isn't that great either. Affectionate Nickname: The hockey teammates (including Jules) call Garrett simply "G" and Tucker as Tuck. Garrett himself almost exclusively likes to call Hannah "Wellsy" and only calls her by her first name when he's being being serious. Dean and some of the other guys pick up on calling her this showing how she's been accepted by them. Berserk Button: Whenever someone compares him with his dad or indirectly says that he is just like his dad is already enough to make Garrett angry and lose control. Notable example: When Logan brings up Garrett's dad in their conversations in the episode pilot, not only does it affect how he plays in the hockey game, but it also leads Garrett and Logan to almost get into a fight had their teammates not interfered and calm them down. It also serves to be a Trauma Button as Garrett deeply fears doing anything that proves himself to be like his father best demonstrated in the penultimate episode when he and Hannah get into a fight after Garrett attacks her rapist during a hockey game and gets suspended. When she tells him how much it scares her that he's willing to risk everything he's worked on for her, all Garrett hears is that he scares her and this ends up being the turning point where he breaks up with her out. Beta Couple: While Garrett and Hannah are the Official Couple, a subplot revolves around the blossoming relationship between Garrett's friend and teammate Dean and Hannah's friend and roommate Allie, first starting off as flirting before becoming a no-strings attached sexual relationship that further develops into a legitimate romantic relationship. The Sequel Hook in the final scene of the season as well as This example contains a TRIVIA entry. It should be moved to the TRIVIA tab.Word of God sets the second season to center on them. "Both Sides Have a Point" Remark: A recurring theme represented as Kierkegaard's concepts of objective vs. subjective truth in Garrett and Hannah's ethics class. In Episode 6 "The Break-Away", Garrett confronts Logan after finding out he went behind his back to ask Phil for a donation to the fundraiser. Garrett is understandably upset that his friend would go behind his back after he asked him not to. However, Logan believes it was for a good cause so the means didn't matter, pointing out that the money was needed due to how expensive hockey is. In Episode 7 "The Face-Off", Hannah and Garrett get into an argument over their actions regarding Delaney. Garrett has a point about Hannah lying to him even though he asked if she was alright, but Hannah also points out that telling the truth would cause him to react badly, which did happen, and cost him his future. The result is that the two break-up at the end of the episode. Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Garrett is a broody young man who still struggles to cope with his childhood trauma due to growing up with an abusive father. While Hannah is more cheerful and optimistic who usually comforts and helps build up Garrett's spirit, despite she herself still deals with her own trauma of being a rape victim.

Comforting Comforter: In Episode 3 "The Orgasm", when Hannah, Garrett and Allie are on the way home after having a karaoke at Malone's, Allie forgot to bring home her bag which contains their house key, thus she and Hannah have to stay in the boys' house. When they're finally home, Allie immediately falls asleep on the couch and Garrett spreads a blanket on her. Composite Character: Some of the characters have traits of other characters from the books: Justin takes Cass' role from the book, mainly he's Hannah's partner for the showcase and gradually takes over as the main singer despite her reluctance. He also abandons Hannah when the two have a falling out, leaving her without a song for the showcase. In the book, Hannah's rapist was named Aaron, his last name unknown, and Delaney was simply his friend who lied for him in court, and who Garrett beat up in the book. In the show, they are combined into one person with Aaron taking on Delaney's last name and being the one Garrett beat up. Cry into Chest: In Episode 5 "The Cold Turkey", upon noticing a bruise on his dad's new girlfriend, Cindy's, wrist and realizes that his abusive dad has never changed, Garrett immediately leaves his family Thanksgiving dinner in anger. After he failed to convince Cindy to just leave his dad, he confides in Hannah about his failure in protecting his mom and the possibility of him becoming just like his dad, Hannah reassures him that he's nothing like his old man. Then, Garrett cries on Hannah's chest with Hannah comforting him.

However, because he went behind Dean's back, Dean is blindsided meeting Hunter at Malone's and the two get into a fight at the end of the first season. Differing Priorities Breakup: Allie and Sean break up because they have different goals for their future. Allie wants to be an actress, Sean wants to have a more regular job and life.

Thus, when his friend dunks the turkey into the hot oil, it immediately creates big fire, burnt down. Distracted by the Sexy: In the opening of episode pilot, after Garrett caught Hannah staring at him showering naked and briefly talked, Hannah leaves but trips on the laundry that she delivers. Equal-Opportunity Fanservice: To the max. This is also a rare of example of Fanservice appealing to both sides with the attractive physique of Garrett and the hockey players (and their abs) on full display and the rather buxom Hannah showing off her cleavage when possible and Allie's Jennifer Lopez dress at Beau and Dean's birthday party, as well as a few of Allie's topless scenes too. And audience also never forget Garrett's former fling, Kendall's, fully nude scene.

Grand Staircase Entrance: In Episode 2 "The Practice", when attending Dean and Beau's party, Hannah comes downstairs wearing a Puck Bunny costume and Garrett quietly watches her in awe. Green-Eyed Monster: Downplayed. Logan is rather envious and resentful of Garrett's privilege and promising future career, while he still hasn't been drafted despite working just as hard. He doesn't let it get in the way of his friendship with Garrett, but it leaks out in a few snide remarks towards the guy. Hates Their Parent: Garrett despises his dad, Phil, as his old man has been abusive to both him and his mom since his childhood. When they briefly reconnected after being estranged for years, not only does Garrett learn that his dad remains abusive toward his new partner, Cindy, but his old man also insults his son to be no better than him as a hockey player. Enraged and fed up, Garrett eventually cuts ties with his dad for good. Logan resents his alcoholic mom who just got into a rehab again for the fifth time. After initially rejected Jules' invitation to visit their mom, Logan eventually complies. Hockey Fight: Garrett gets into a brutal altercation twice. First in the episode pilot, when he plays badly against Walters from Eastwood, but he manages to fix his mistake after he watched Hannah joyfully jamming to Elton John's "The Bitch Is Back" from inside a room and inspired by her cheerful spirit. The second is when he attacks Delaney (Hannah's rapist) where his brutal act results a suspension for four games. I Have This Friend: At first, Hannah told the story about her sexual assault to Allie as if it happened to a friend, instead of herself. Allie figured out the truth, but kept it to herself, waiting until Hannah told her out of respect. I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Logan obviously has a crush on Hannah. But, knowing that Hannah and Garrett are in love with each other, he decides to rather step back and keeps supporting them.

Last-Name Basis: Garrett prefers to call Hannah by her last name, Wellsy. He usually calls her by first name when he is in a very serious situation, such as: when he learns that his abusive dad has never changed at all. Lovable Jock: The Briar Hawks boys are popular and adored, but not only are they best friends who never stop supporting each other, they're also very friendly toward other people. Male Frontal Nudity / Fanservice Extra: In the final episode, when Hannah intends to confront Garrett about "The Campus Wide Hands-Off Law" which nearly everyone isn't allowed to associate with Hannah, Hannah goes to the men's locker room where she encounters some fully nude hockey teammates who shamelessly let her sees their genitals.

Not only that, but the committee uses a video of him practicing with the Bruins to make him ineligible, erasing all of the Briar Hawks' wins and dropping the team from the top of the tournament to the bottom. No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: This is the reason why Hannah refuses to tell Garrett that his next opponent, Delaney, is her rapist. In her history, she tried to report to the police and told the truth to the court about Delaney date-raping her. Instead of earning her justice, her life was ruined as she was slut-shamed by her entire hometown, her parents lost their friends and her dad got fired, leading them to move away to another town out of safety and to start a new life. On the contrary, Delaney didn’t get any consequence of his crime even until present day only because he was a mayor’s son and a hockey star player. When Garrett figures it out himself about Delaney and brutally beats the latter, it costs him a four games suspension. Thus, her fear is somewhat justified.

Premise Set at the fictional campus of Briar University, four close-knit college hockey players navigate the complexities of adulthood, relationships, and sex to ultimately find their true love. The first season centers on Hannah Wells and Garrett Graham, while introducing the core four college hockey players Garrett, Dean, Logan, and Tucker.

Throughout Off Campus Season 1 In The Deal, Hannah is informed by her college advisor that her scholarship has been revoked following budget cuts. Already working three jobs, including cleaning the hockey stadiums facilities and a waitressing job at Malone's, she applies for a show case where the first place prize is a full scholarship. She worries about creating a pop song as her passion and education is in classical composing. Her best friend and roommate Allie is confident in Hannah's abilities, but encourages her to explore romance as inspiration for a successful pop song. She wants Hannah to act on her long-standing crush on Justin Kohl, a fellow musician. Hannah is nervous and blunders through their first few introductions. Her failures are witnessed by star hockey player Garrett Graham, who she already crossed paths with when she accidentally saw him in the shower after practice. He asks Hannah for help in passing their philosophy class, as she's the only one who aced the test. She turns him down repeatedly - and not just because he doesn't know her name. She hates hockey and makes her disdain for both the game and his self-assured attitude clear.

Hannah works at the hockey stadium operating a food stand, but has flashbacks to a teenage boy and his friends. She runs to the dressing room under the rink, where she plays the piano to music on the stereo. She lets herself relax, dancing and singing along. She's unaware that Garrett is watching from the door, her jovial nature calming his anger from the game. She attends a Block Party with Allie and Dexter. They encourage her to talk with Justin again, but she's quickly humiliated when someone spills a drink on her. Garrett, who is watching her from afar, realizes that she wants to date Justin and offers her a deal - if she helps tutor him, he will pretend to be her boyfriend to catch Justin's attention. She's initially trepidatious about the idea, but after seeing Justin's interest in her grow when Garrett acts as her boyfriend, she agrees to the deal.

Briar University hockey captain Garrett Graham, who has already been drafted by the Boston Bruins, is struggling in his philosophy class and needs a passing grade to continue playing. Hannah Wells, a music major and a top student in the same class, is working as a janitor in the locker room when she accidentally walks in on Garrett nude in the showers. Embarrassed and flustered, she runs off, amusing Garrett. After noticing Hannah's A grade on a class essay, he recruits her to tutor him. Aware of her crush on classmate Justin Kohl, Garrett proposes to Hannah that they pretend to be a couple so she can gain Justin's attention. After some initial reluctance on Hannah's part because of her distaste of hockey and some of Garrett's jock antics, the two agree on the deal.

In The Practice, Garrett informs Hannah of their need to convince Fifth Line admin Jules Logan that their relationship is real. She tries to set boundaries against kissing in public, but he insists Justin won't be fooled by hand holding. They schedule time for a tutoring session at his house, where she meets his roommate John Logan and Jules. The session is derailed by incessant snapchats from puck bunnies. They plant the seeds of their fake relationship with Garrett bringing her coffee (despite her being lactose intolerant), PDA in class, and finally, a hard launch at Dean and Beau's birthday party. They pick their outfits with help from Allie, who they let in on their scheme. Hannah also works on her song for the showcase, but her composition class aren't impressed.

Her second tutoring session with Garrett doesn't go much better, as he pivots the focus to her always blushing when he teases her or comes near her. They both try to prove their points with close contact, ultimately making out until they're interrupted by Logan. She insists she wasn't blushing and kisses Logan on the way out to prove her point. Hannah attends his hockey game that evening, sitting with the other puck bunnies. She surprises herself by enjoying the ordeal. Following Garrett and Allie's advice to look "boy hot" for the party, Hannah dresses a sexy bunny to match Garrett's magician. She declines his offer for a drink, revealing that she doesn't drink at parties. He searches for a nonalcoholic option, accepting Logan's advice to use a sealed can. Hannah thanks him with a kiss on the cheek, which convinces Jules they're actually dating. They post a photo of the new couple later that evening.

The fake couple shares a room for the evening, though their stubbornness has them both taking the floor. They bond for the first time by sharing funny videos. He opens up about his difficult past with hockey, and she discusses the issues she's having with songwriting. Despite his internal conflict, he suggests that she ask Justin for help writing the showcase song. They end up falling asleep together in bed, spooning. He wakes up first and closes the laptop, sleeping on the floor for the rest of the night. Their plan is working well, as in the morning, Justin sits with Hannah on the bus ride back to campus.

Garrett and Hannah practice kissing and pretend to be a couple in public, wanting Jules, the sibling of Garrett's teammate John Logan, to post about the relationship on their social media gossip account. The two become closer after a party in which Hannah and Garrett open up to each other about their respective love of music and hockey. Garrett confides how his father Phil has prepared him for a career in hockey since he was a kid. Garrett and John's teammate Dean sees Allie, Hannah's best friend and roommate, at the party and they share a brief charged moment on the dance floor, but she turns him down. Jules publishes a photo of Hannah and Garrett to the account. The next day, as Hannah boards a bus headed to a Briar Hawks game, Justin approaches Hannah and sits beside her, witnessed by Garrett, who's been developing feelings for Hannah.

In The Orgasm, Hannah and Justin's friendship gets more serious as he works with her on a song for the showcase. She stresses about having sex with him eventually. This is further highlighted when she walks in on Garrett hooking up with another girl. They were never exclusive in their fake relationship, but she feels like he's not taking their sessions or plan seriously. She helps him study before the oral presentation, encouraging him to look at her if he gets flustered. He does and gets a B+ on the assignment. With half of their deal completed, Garrett turns his full attention to helping Hannah win over Justin. She embarrassed herself in front of Justin when he saw her "crushing" playlist of After Hours and solo music. Garrett has her forget about Justin for a night by going to karaoke night at Malone's with him and the guys.

While there, Garrett asks if she wants to drink in public despite her being cautious. He promises to take care of a drunk Allie and guard Hannah's drinks with his life. They have fun trying to find her drink of choice, which ends up being pina coladas. She gets drunk at the bar when Logan ventures over. She reminisces with him about her former Subaru that he fixed for her in freshman year. Jules apologizes to Garrett for being an ass about the Liquid I.V. campaign earlier. Hannah suggests that Logan and Garrett do the campaign together. She then takes the stage for "Cherry Pie". Her great singing, carefree dancing, brazen moves, confidence, and flirtatious dancing with Garrett take everyone by surprise.

Garrett drives Hannah and Allie back to Bristol House when Allie realizes she left her purse, which contains their keys, at the bar. He takes them to his house instead, with Allie crashing on the couch. He follows a trail of clothing to his room where Hannah waits on his bed wearing his jersey. She tries to seduce him, but he refuses to sleep with her because she's drunk. In the morning, Hannah and Garrett are both asleep in his bed. She wakes up to a text from Justin inviting her to his place to work on their song. She remembers her fantasies with Justin and her inability to orgasm being a through-line in each dream. A bit later, Garrett wakes up to Hannah sitting in his bed, offering him coffee. She makes sure that he's 100% awake before asking him to do something really important for her: give her an orgasm.

Hannah grows closer to Justin and asks him to collaborate with her on a song for a pop songwriting competition. It is revealed that Hannah is uncomfortable in her own body after she was roofied and raped by a hockey player in high school. On karaoke night at Malone's Bar, Hannah overcomes her fear drinking with help from Garrett and sings "Cherry Pie" while intoxicated. Garrett takes Hannah back to his place, but when she tries to seduce him, he stops her and tells her to sleep it off. In the morning, Hannah gets a text message from Justin inviting her to come over to his place to work on songwriting, and she realizes she wants to be prepared for potential sex with Justin. When Garrett wakes up, Hannah asks him for a favor—if he could give her an orgasm, which she's only managed to give herself while alone.

In The Breakup, Hannah confides in Garrett that she was raped during high school and worked hard to put the trauma behind her. She knows it doesn't define her, but struggles to have an orgasm with a romantic partner since then. She's hoping that through trusting a friend she can overcome the final hurdle in beginning a relationship with Justin. Garrett agrees to help her and they schedule a time for later. During their date, they dance too "Baby Now That I Found You". She ultimately cannot fully trust Garrett enough to have sex, something he understands. She worries that she's broken, but he doesn't believe that, as her not being fully there yet is normal. Instead, Garrett proposes that they masturbate in front of one another, a successful act for both of them. They start bonding more over leftovers as shares his love of music stemming from his mom, and how she would let him play a record when his dad was too intense. Their moment is interrupted by Snapchat messages from puck bunnies, which makes Hannah realize that into someone that he's not. She confides in Allie, who has recently broken up with Sean. They attend Drunk Shakespeare together in the hopes that it will distract them.

Hannah sits with Justin during the play and is chosen by Dexter to portray Hermia in the audience participation section, opposite Justin's Lysander. Garrett is volunteered for Demetrius and Kendall volunteers for Helena. Garrett and Justin are instructed to have a dance off for Helena's hand, with Garrett choosing to go shirtless. Justin admits to Hannah that he was cautious about asking her out because he thought she was serious about Garrett, but the dance changed his mind. During an intermission, Hannah and Garrett end their deal before completing the play. However, Hannah realizes in a conversation with Justin that she doesn't feel the same way about him anymore. She ends things with Justin before they can begin and tracks down Garrett at the ice rink. She performs "Baby Now That I Found You" over the speakers while he skates on the ice below. He runs off the ice and upstairs just as she's finishing the song. She stands up, taking a step toward him.

After Hannah opens up about her assault and intimacy struggles, Garrett agrees to help her as a friend. Allie breaks up with her boyfriend Sean, but he expects it won't last. That night, Hannah arrives to Garrett's place, and, after setting Hannah at ease with the song "Baby, Now That I've Found You" on his phone, they begin to have sex. However, Hannah tenses up and cannot go through with it, so Garrett proposes they instead separately bring themselves to orgasm in front of each other. After completing the task, Garrett comes to openly accept that he truly likes Hannah, and his teammates urge him to tell her at the Drunk Shakespeare event. Justin is also at the event and confesses his interest in Hannah to her. After reassuring him she isn't serious with Garrett, she happily tells Garrett their "deal" worked since he got the grade and she got the guy. Garrett leaves the event dejected that Hannah likes someone else and goes to the ice rink to practice alone. After a conversation with Justin in which Hannah realizes it's Garrett she loves, she goes to the rink and sings "Baby, Now That I've Found You" to him on the sound system.

In The Cold Turkey, Garrett and Hannah begin their now exclusive relationship in time for Thanksgiving. She introduces him to her excited mom over video chat. The couples plan to attend the boys' Friendsgiving together. He asks why she doesn't go home to see her parents. Indiana hasn't been her home since the public trial in which she accused the mayor's son of assault. He realizes that the guy was also a hockey player. Garrett asks her to attend his father's Thanksgiving with him for moral support. Hannah is worried about meeting the "intense" NHL legend, but Allie reminds her how relationships are about more than just sex - they're about supporting one another, too. Hannah gets a glimpse into Garrett's childhood, including how he was sent to boarding school after his mom died and hasn't been home since. During dinner, Garrett notices bruises on Cindy's wrist, prompting the couple to leave abruptly. She pulls over on the way back to campus because his anger and silence worries her. He reveals that his father was physically abusive to both his mother and him. He's scared of becoming Phil one day, especially after seeing Cindy's fear when he reacted poorly to seeing her bruises. Hannah insists that Cindy's reaction wasn't about him and that he would never hurt someone like that. Her support through the difficult moment brings them closer, and they end the evening at Malone's eating cold turkey sandwiches. She gives him a photograph of him and his mom that she took from his room, imparting her therapists wisdom of not letting the bad memories ruin the good ones. They end the night by FaceTiming the guys.

Garrett and Hannah confess their mutual feelings for each other and become a real couple. For the Thanksgiving break, Phil asks Garrett to come home so he can introduce him to his new fiancée, Cindy. Though Garrett is reluctant to spend time with Phil, Hannah insists he go and accompanies him. John and Tucker, another member of the hockey team, stay on campus for Friendsgiving, which turns from a small gathering to a big one when other Hawks players bring their friends. Being at Phil's home dredges up memories for Garrett of the domestic abuse of his late mother by his father. He storms out with Hannah after realizing that Phil has also been abusing his fiancée Cindy. Garrett confides to Hannah about the abuse and his fears of becoming his father, and she reassures him he is not Phil. Meanwhile, Allie is revealed to be secretly hooking up with Dean since her breakup.

In The Breakaway, Hannah isn't happy with the song her and Justin wrote together, confiding in Garrett that she wants to scrap the entire thing and start over. They exchange 'I love you's' for the first time, and their relationship is going very well. She also helps Logan by hosting the Hurricane's youth hockey fundraiser at Malone's since his venue double booked. She has a fun night working with Allie and trying to get Garrett to relax before a big game against St. Anthony's the next day. Justin surprises Hannah by performing Yellow Haze for the expecting crowd, getting their reactions for the first time. Allie is confused by the lyrics, but insists that it's still good. Hannah angrily confronts Justin after the performance, and his feelings are hurt by her dismissal of the song he worked hard on. He's proud of the song and stands by it. If she wants the song to sound like her, she should put herself in it and write it herself. He ends their partnership, clearly hurt over the outcome. Hannah has to write a new song for the showcase in under two weeks, though Garrett is confident she can do it. She knows he's been arguing with Logan all night over him getting Phil to donate for the fundraiser against Garrett's wishes. She suggests that he tell Logan about his abusive childhood, but Garrett doesn't want anyone else to know. After closing up Malone's, she overhears a group of freshmen discussing the game against St. Anthony's tomorrow and their talented new center Aaron Delaney. She recognizes the name as being the boy who raped her. The knowledge triggers a panic attack that she suffers alone in the parking lot.

The details of Allie and Dean's relationship are shown, the two having grown closer after karaoke night at Malone's and regularly engaging in no-strings-attached sex after her breakup with Sean. Allie wants their hookups to remain casual and secret for fear of hurting Sean's feelings so soon after a breakup, but also cannot resist Dean's charms. Allie and Dean spend Thanksgiving together at his parents' place in New York City, unbeknownst to their friends. At a hockey fundraising event at Malone's, tensions between Garrett and John over Phil's involvement in their fundraiser come to a head. After Allie spends another night with Dean, Sean accidentally walks in on her alone. Realizing she is already with someone new, Sean walks away in disgust.

In The Faceoff, Hannah struggles with her resurfaced trauma from knowing that Aaron Delaney is on campus for the hockey game against the Briar Hawks. She recalls her time in therapy, having to write a statement for the police, and how her songwriting ceased after the rape. She decides to quit the pop showcase, sharing her decision with Daveed. She doesn't believe that she can open up through music the way that he does because she finds it painful. He thinks that letting people into their truth can be healing. The truth hasn't been kind to her in the past. He doesn't believe that means she has to close herself off forever. She needs to cling to the people who see her. She remembers the happy moments with Garrett, realizing there is someone in her life like that. She makes it to the stadium for the final period, finding an angry Garrett in the dressing room. His anger melts away when he sees her, replaced instead with worry about why she wasn't answering his calls or wasn't at the game sooner. She promises that she is fine, and that even though she was dealing with things, it didn't matter as much as being there for him. The game is going badly partly because his dad is there with Cindy. She gives him a pep talk and a reminder about not letting his dad win. They walk to the ice, exchange 'I love you's', and a kiss. Their kiss is witnessed be Delaney, who uses the final face off of the game to call her a "lying slut", outing himself as Hannah's rapist. Garrett snaps and attacks Delaney, beating him up before being dragged off the ice.

Hannah waits in the parking lot after the game for Garrett, who has been suspended for his actions. She's upset he risked his future for her, something he can't refute. He refuses to apologize because he would do it again. The idea that he would risk everything for her scares her. He misunderstands her statement to mean that he scares her, which sends him into a spiral of believing his father was right. He doesn't want Hannah to look at him the same way that Cindy did because that would kill him. He claims he's not good for her and ends their relationship. She bikes back to her dorm, but wrecks her bike. She tearfully calls her mom and admits everything that has been happening, including the loss of her scholarship and breakup with Garrett. Carrie calmly guides her daughter through the emotions. She will worry about the finances and find a way to send Hannah to Briar next semester. Hannah's guilt over being the reason her parents lost their jobs and everything after finally spills out. Carrie wonders what Hannah did wrong. All she did was go to a party and have a drink. There was nothing that she could have, or should have, done. Their family is fine. She asks Hannah to relax and let them do their jobs of taking care of their daughter. Hannah returns to her dorm, where she eats Hot Cheetos and is comforted by Allie.

Joanna Maxwell, a Broadway actress and Beau's sister, visits campus and bonds with Allie over theater and acting. At a bar that night, Allie vents about her guy problems to Joanna. To prove that Allie can have successful casual relationships, Joanna goads her to approach a guy at the bar and they kiss. At the hockey game against St. Anthony's, Garrett struggles against rival Aaron Delaney. Aaron is revealed as Hannah's rapist, which is unknown to Garrett. Aaron sees Hannah kissing Garrett off the ice, and during the game, insults her to Garrett's face. An enraged Garrett loses his cool and beats Aaron up. As a result, Garrett is suspended for four games. Hannah confronts Garrett, saying she didn't need him to defend her in a violent manner. After a heated argument, the couple breaks up.

In The Line Change, Hannah drops out of the song competition. Garrett gives the captainship to John and decides to quit hockey, as he felt he was only doing it to please Phil. When Hannah sees Garrett skating at the rink alone, she reasons why he shouldn't quit. She changes her mind about the song contest and manages to sneak in a final spot at the showcase. Allie convinces Dean to bring Garrett and friends to the contest to watch Hannah. Hannah performs her song "The Girl That I Am", inspired by her past trauma. Afterwards, Garrett apologizes to Hannah and asks for another chance; the couple happily reconciles. Meanwhile, to create distance in her relationship with Dean, Allie suggests to him that they sleep with other people. Dean is not able to follow through, but Allie has sex with the man from the bar. While the team spends a night out at Malone's, John explains he recruited a new member to the Hawks after Garrett's suspension, who is revealed to be Allie's hookup, Hunter Davenport. At Malone's, Hunter immediately gets into a fight with Dean and the other guys, due to a past incident involving Dean's younger sister.

Personality Hannah is a remarkably intelligent, earnest, and resourceful young woman with aspirations for the future and her life. She loves all music, composing classical from a young age. She is funny, goofy, sharp-witted, and initially easily flustered by social interactions. She struggles with anxiety and panic attacks since her sexual assault, though years of therapy have helped her overcome the initial trauma and understand how the attack doesn't define her. Hannah felt immense guilt over how her trial impacted her family, friends, and the lives of those around her. She believed that everyone who knew about the attack was made worse by the knowledge, keeping it a secret instead. This sense of self-protection bled into her music, as she stopped writing songs because it felt too vulnerable. It was only through learning to completely trust a boyfriend, Garrett Graham, and help from her advisor Daveed, that she began to overcome her fears of vulnerability and trust issues, allowing her to write again.

Physical Appearance Hannah has short shoulder length brown hair with a slight wave at the bottom and blue-green eyes. She often wears sweaters, skinny jeans, and has a more modest and toned down style, but starts to dress more boldly and accessorize as she gains confidence throughout the show.

Relationships Allie Hayes Allie is Hannah’s best friend and roommate.

Garrett Graham To win the attention of Justin Kohl, Hannah makes a deal with hockey star Garret Graham to fake date in exchange for tutoring sessions. This situation transforms when real romantic feelings come to surface.

John Logan Logan had a crush on Hannah for a few years, having began after fixing her car in freshman year, but he never pursued it. He paid attention to her in Malone's enough to know her name and interests. After she began dating Garrett, Logan was one of the few people who remained skeptical that Garrett was serious about her. Hannah also kissed Logan to prove a point to Garrett, with the kiss coming off as sudden to Logan. They never discussed the kiss again, instead, bonding over their mutual working class backgrounds. Logan pined after Hannah for some time, while Hannah looked out for him by suggesting that Garrett do a sponsorship campaign with Logan instead of ditching it altogether. She also helped him acquire a location for his youth hockey fundraiser, which meant a lot to him. He thanked her for the help, and she reminded him that's what friends do for each other.

Garrett: "Hey, Mona." Hannah Wells: "Who– Who’s Mona? That's not my name." Garrett: "It is an M, though, right?" Hannah Wells: "See, usually with questions, voices kind of go up at the end. And your voice didn’t do that, so…" John: "Garrett, she’s waited on us like 17,000 times at Malone's. You seriously haven’t noticed her?" Daveed: "It was outstanding, Hannah Wells. Not many people can write so eloquently about the harmonic vocal identities in the work of One Direction." Hannah Wells: "I’m a musician too. Writer, not performer. I write classical, mostly. Uh, but I’m trying out other styles too. Like pop, folk, R&B. Uh… rock, electronic. Uh, but mostly pop, though. And classical…" Garrett: "And don’t you have any of those boots that go up past the knee?" Hannah Wells: "You mean “fuck me” boots? We wear those when we don’t feel like shaving. Not all women want to get dressed up for the male gaze." Garrett: "I don’t get how there can be two truths. Like, shit’s either true or it’s not. Subjective, objective. I mean, what the fuck, Kierkegaard?" Hannah Wells: "Okay, he believed that people needed to define truths for themselves. Like, believing in God." Garrett: "See, this is why I need you. That actually makes sense." Hannah Wells: "Yeah, what can I say? I know my pretentious philosophers." Garrett: "I messed up. Can you please come back inside? Tucker made salmon. We can eat, study…" Hannah Wells: "you have a naked woman in your room... that you already forgot about her, apparently." Hannah Wells: "A means to an end. Got it? I was raped. Wow, okay, there’s really no way to make that seem less heavy than it is. Uh, it happened in high school. I was drugged at a party. That’s why I don’t like drinking in public. No, no! See? What you’re doing right now is dwelling. And I need you to just breeze past this part, okay? Focus up. Are you breezing? I’m fine. Really, I’m okay. I had a lovely therapist. Her name was Carol. She had these mismatched mugs and a really extensive tea collection. She helped me understand that the rape doesn’t define me. Even though I firmly put this behind me, I still can’t seem to… you know, orgasm with a guy. I mean, on my own, masturbation, sure, fine, fireworks. But, yeah, not– not with someone else." Daveed: "Do you have a favorite song, something you love to listen to when you’re sad or bored? Ah, see? What you just did. Your whole body relaxed. Now, were you thinking of specific chord progressions?" Hannah Wells: "No, I was thinking about listening to Paramore at my middle school bus stop. Made me feel so complicated and punk rock." Daveed: "Exactly. How it made you feel. You see, people think that pop music is shallow, but it lives deep inside us. It creates memories. It etches them into our bones. If you do it right, it lets us feel what you were feeling when you’re writing it. That’s what the judges want. You gotta let us in." Sean: "Your whole “Allie’s breakup in five acts” cycle. You go through the same stages every time. First, “Surprise Fight Allie”, which I can safely say we’re in right now. Then, “Eats Her Feelings Allie”, destroys three bags of hot Cheetos, followed by “Raging Diva Allie”." Allie: "Stop titling things like they happen. These are not things that happen." Sean: "Then “Complete and Total Breakdown Allie” has a… Well, that one’s self-explanatory. And the grand finale, “Late Night Phone Call Allie”, where you beg me to take you back. I know you better than anyone else in the world, Al. I always made me chocolate chip and blueberry pancakes because I know you want both, even though I'm not eating carbs right now. I know you’re secretly scared of cats. I know that you’re out of ChapStick. Speaking of which… I stopped by CVS on the way over. And I know that you love me. And I love you. Two-year relationship." Hannah Wells: "Uh, you don’t need to turn around. You’re about to see me naked." {{user}}: "Yeah, but not until you want me to." Hannah Wells: "I worked out this whole orgasm problem so that I could be with Justin, didn’t I?" Allie: "Yeah, but I don’t know, I thought you might be “dicknotized” by Garrett. You wouldn’t be the first." Hannah Wells: "Okay, I’ll admit it. The night was kind of perfect. He made me feel really safe and a lot of really, really good other things, but that doesn’t magically turn him into someone else, you know?" Allie: "No, you got to take him at face value." Hannah Wells: "And the guy can’t get through a single conversation without someone trying to sext him, which is fine because I got the orgasm, which is what I wanted. It’s just an arrangement between friends." Garrett: "This is what success looks like, eventually talking about his merchandising or I could tear my ACL tomorrow and get stuck bagging groceries at the Stop ‘N’ Shop. Not that– Not that there’s anything wrong with that." Hannah Wells: "Hey, my mom works at Bob’s Market, so… Yeah, not– Yeah, that wasn’t really a dream, either, so… She was a singer. Her high school choir won a bunch of competitions, but I don’t know, she never really went for it. Yeah, I just think she wants me to be happy." John: "Phil is a self-centered pompous asshole? Yeah, my mom’s in rehab for the fifth time. I get it, okay? But who cares, all right? It’s for a good cause." Garrett: "You don’t know what you’re talking about. You never once considered why I didn’t want you to call." John: "Are you kidding? All we ever do is think about what you want. Do you know how much hockey costs? Genuine question. Because these kids need the money. I needed the money. This fundraiser is the only fucking reason I’m here. I'm a survivor of a hurricane." Garrett: "It’s not all about money." John: "Spoken like a person with a shit ton of it." Dean: "Change your mind?" Allie: "No. Maybe. Just every time we do this, I feel so–" Dean: "Amazing." Allie: "Bad. I feel bad. Guilty." Dean: "Wait, are you Catholic?" Allie: "No. I’m just a girl. I have to think about what everyone else feels before I can figure out what I’m feeling. And I can’t even do that right now because this fucking breakup is totally messing with my head. I don’t even know what to think." Dean: "Then don’t. Don’t think. Tell me what you want. Allie Cat. Tell me what you want." Allie: "This is not a relationship, okay? No strings, no feelings, just sex." Dean: "Just fucking kiss me." Hannah Wells: "Daveed, when you said, “Write music that lets people in.” Like, just now, I-I didn’t know it was about your son, but I felt it." Daveed: "That’s a sweet compliment. Just having a hard time taking it, because of the general melancholy." Hannah Wells: "It’s just that I don’t think I could ever write anything that comes close to doing that. I-I can’t do what you do. Letting people in. Um, I made a mistake trying to do this. Anyway, uh, it’s been an honor to be a part of your class. I really hope we can keep in touch. Not on my student email, because if I don’t do the showcase, then I– I won’t be here next semester, but, um… I’ll send you my old one. It’s a Yahoo, for some reason." Daveed: "Just, if you don’t come back here right now, okay? I’m still your advisor for as long as you’re here, so, talk to me. Get your money’s worth." Hannah Wells: "I have been doing this a while. I mean… Like, doesn’t it hurt? Ripping yourself open over and over again. Letting people see all the weird, jagged pieces of you. Is that what it feels like?" Daveed: "Yeah, well, it doesn’t feel good. I don’t subscribe to the notion that art has to be painful. In fact, if done right, allowing people into our truth, that can even be healing." Hannah Wells: "Yeah, I don’t– I don’t know about that. In– In my experience, whenever I tell someone my truth, it… it ends badly." Daveed: "Well, that doesn’t mean we have to close ourselves off for good. No, that just means we have to cling to the people who see us and smile. There has to be someone like that in your life, right? Then, with love, what the hell are you doing here talking to me? Taking up my rehearsal time." Aaron: "Garrett, you know what’s gonna be even better than me beating you? Beating you in front of that lying slut. proceeds to get beat up" Garrett: "What are the NCAA going to do? Aren’t you gonna yell at me or something?" Coach: "Why would I yell at you if I need you to actually hear me? Garrett, you’re on the brink of greatness. But I can’t help you get there if you’re not in it for the right reasons. And after that hot-headed bullshit? I’m not sure that you are. Either way, I won’t condone that kind of behavior on my ice. As of now, you’re suspended for four games." Phil: "Sure, we have an agreement. You don’t win, I don’t talk to you. Clearly, this is an exception. I’m proud of you. That was some tough old-school hockey. Yeah, getting suspended for four games is not ideal. But hey, it happens, right? You get worked up. You lose your cool. Part of the game. But shit will rain down, though. NCAA will be on your ass, but don’t worry. I’ll call the Bruins. I’ll take care of this. No one will keep Phil Graham’s son off the ice." Garrett: "So, that’s it, huh? As long as I have “Graham” on my back, I can just beat people up with no consequences for the rest of my life? Like you." Phil: "You know, I don’t remember you complaining about being a Graham when you landed the best coaches, when you got on the best teams with the best equipment. You can hate the name on the back of your jersey all you want, but it doesn’t make you better than me. It just makes you ungrateful. You already are like me." Garrett: "With the best bruises. Right? Easy to write it off when your kid plays such a violent sport." Hannah Wells: "What the hell, Garrett?" Garrett: "I really can’t do this right now. Can you just please get in the car?" Hannah Wells: "No. What was that?" Garrett: "Are you serious? You’re mad at me? You lied to me, Hannah. You did. You looked me in the eye and told me you were okay. You promised me you were okay. I had to go back out there and play against that piece of shit. Do you not trust me, or what?" Hannah Wells: "You just had to make it through one game. One hour. That’s it. Garrett, you lost your shit on him!" Garrett: "You didn’t hear what Aaron said." Hannah Wells: "I know what he fucking said. What? Did he call me a whore? A liar? That I wanted it? Who cares? I heard it every day in high school." Garrett: "I wasn’t just gonna stand there and listen… I was fucking defending you!" Hannah Wells: "Well, I didn’t ask you to do that. I didn’t want you to. I didn’t want anyone to. People in Ransom didn’t just turn on me, Garrett. They turned on my family. My parents lost friends. My dad got fired from the school. You want to know why I didn’t tell you? It’s because every time I tell someone the truth, it fucks everything up. It ruins people’s lives. And it happened again. No, tell me you didn’t just put your season at risk. Your future with the Bruins. How do you think that makes me feel? You blow this all up for me." Garrett: "What do you want me to say? You want me to apologize? Say I’m sorry? I’m not. I could face that asshole a hundred times, and one hundred fucking times, I’d beat the shit out of him again." Hannah Wells: "Yeah, well that scares me, Garrett. It scares me that you would risk everything for me when I’m telling you it’s not what I want. I worked so fucking hard to put it all behind me." Garrett: "I scare you? That’s what you said. Fuck. My dad was right. This is who I am, Hannah Wells. This is just how I’m programmed. I am Phil. I fucking am. You know, maybe not right now, but someday… you’re gonna look at me the same way Cindy looked at me. And that would kill me, Hannah Wells. I’m not good for you. This is over. This needs to be over." Carrie: "Let’s start with the small stuff and work our way up. Okay? First off, let us figure out the money. We always do. Don’t worry about the grant. We will find a way for you to be at Briar next semester." Hannah Wells: "How can I not worry about it when it’s my fault? I’m the reason that you can’t afford it in the first place. Like, I’m the reason for the therapy bills and the lawyer. I ruined your lives, and I-I’m sorry. I’m-I’m so sorry. I’m sorry." Carrie: "What did you do wrong? Well, if you’re feeling guilty, then it must mean that you did something wrong. So, what is it, exactly? You went to a party, sweet pea. You were a high school kid who had a drink, that’s all. You didn’t do anything wrong, Hannah Wells. That night and everything that happened after that is not on you. There’s nothing that you could’ve or should’ve done. And as far as ruining our lives… I am fine, and so is your dad… despite being terrible at euchre. He’s the worst. But I love him. And we love you. So, will you let us do our jobs and take care of you?" Hannah Wells: "Okay, you have officially stepped over the line. You’re so far over the line, I can’t even see this stupid line. A campus-wide hands-off law? Garrett, you broke up with me. And why are you in a suit? You cannot go around campus telling guys you’ll beat them up for speaking to me. Are you insane? With that masochist– Sorry, misogynist… Sorry, I can’t even think straight. There are too many penises in this men’s locker room. Garrett, I really can’t have my customers be afraid of speaking to me. I work for tips." Garrett: "You should be with whoever you want to be with." Allie: "Well, some of the best songs ever were written after a breakup. Maybe this is what you need to bust through your writer’s block." Hannah Wells: "I-I think it’s about more than that, actually. Um, you know when you meet someone, and you don’t quite get their name at first, then you start seeing them all the time, and you’ve got inside jokes, and it just becomes really awkward to ask what their name is?" Allie: "My literal nightmare, yes. Go on." Hannah Wells: "What if it’s your best friend? And she doesn’t know this huge fundamental thing about you? I’m gonna tell you something. But I really don’t want you to look at me differently. Or treat me differently. Or hate me for not telling you sooner." Allie: "Hey, I would never." Hannah Wells: "You say that, but a lot of people did. Remember my friend from high school? The one who was roofied, and all the stuff that happened after?" Allie: "You’re the friend. Oh, Hannah, I always knew. I just… I thought you’d tell me when you were ready." Hannah Wells: "You’re my favorite person ever." Allie: "Right back at you, babe. So, what does this have to do with writer’s block?" Hannah Wells: "I… I just haven’t been able to write lyrics since. I didn’t want to be the girl who was raped. I want to be this girl. The girl who wrote this song." Allie: "The Hannah that I love is that girl. And this girl. And all the girls in between. Because you’re not just one thing, babe. You’re everything. Never forget that."
