Ep 1. Safe

In season 2 of HANNA, the action-packed thriller series returns with the episode named "Safe". The storyline picks up from the first season's cliffhanger ending, where Hanna reunites with her mother, Marissa. The first episode of the new season begins with Hanna and Marissa escaping the facility in Romania where Hanna was raised and trained as a killing machine. They are now on the run and want to start anew.

As they travel to another location, Marissa warns Hanna that they need to change their identities constantly for their safety. They decide to take new names and identities to begin their new lives. Hanna becomes Mia Wolff, and Marissa transforms herself into Marie Wolff. They travel to a small village in Poland, where they plan to rent a house and hide there until it is safe.

In the meantime, we are introduced to a new character called Terri Miller, a CIA agent who is investigating the rogue program, Utrax, that had created and trained Hanna. Miller's character is intense, determined, and has a personal vendetta with the agency. She continues to dig deep into the Utrax program and the people behind it. Her story is shown parallel to Hanna and Marissa's journey, adding an additional layer of tension to the plot.

As Hanna and Marissa settle into their new life, they keep a low profile in town, speaking limited Polish and keeping to themselves. But Hanna struggles to adapt to the new lifestyle as she was trained to be a killer and has trouble fitting into normalcy. She feels bored and lonely and starts to wander around the city to explore. One night, she goes to a club, and her sharp instincts kick in when she senses danger. She observes a group of women being manipulated and forced into something against their will. She intervenes and helps one of the girls escape.

Hanna's actions expose her true identity to the man running the illegal operation, who labels her a liability and pursues her. This encounter triggers a chain of events leading to a thrilling chase sequence through the streets of Warsaw. The scene is visually stunning, and the action is visceral, adding to the adrenaline rush of the episode.

"Safe" is a great season opener. It sets the tone and stakes for the rest of the season, balancing action, character development, and plot progression. The episode leaves viewers wanting more as we see the journey ahead for Hanna and Marissa, and is sure to captivate both old and new fans of the show.
