How does Hanna season 2, episode 4, “Welcome Mia” open?
Episode 4 begins with Marissa struggling to get out bed, bruised up, and with a few injuries. John rings Marissa up and tells her that they have caught Hanna. He arranges a pick-up point so Marissa can go to The Meadows. Marissa pairs a tracking device in her lipstick with her phone and then drives her car into a tree.
Can I see her
Jules tells Sandy that she wants to arrange a party after curfew at The Meadows. Sandy distracts a man from a van while Jules steals alcohol — we learn that Leo planned the girls to steal the alcohol so they learn about disobedience. John meets Marissa and tells her she looks exhausted. Her injuries can now be explained. Marissa is emotionally manipulating John so he can see Hanna. John shows Marissa the footage of Hanna taking on the guards and he’s excited because this is the type of assassin they wanted — he wants Hanna back in the program.

Marissa visits Hanna; Hanna immediately jolts up and Marissa makes out like they haven’t seen each other for a while and then states she crashed her car. Marissa tells Hanna that she knows she killed Sonia because she was a threat. And then Marissa asks for Hanna’s cooperation — “Do you trust me?”.
Tracking
The man that Marissa called visits the tree she crashed into and he finds her phone buried in the ground. He pairs with the lipstick capsule so now she knows where she is. Hanna tells Clara that she wanted to help her but that was obviously a mistake. She also wants Clara to show her around — “Maybe I want to stay here too”. Clara shows her around The Meadows.
Please leave with me

Marissa left Hanna a note with a location to meet at 10 pm to escape.
A new life
The assassins are introduced to Hanna by John. He talks about their future — “When you have finished your service with us, you’ll be given a new life”. John makes out that they can one day fall in love, maybe have a family. Hanna season 2, episode 4 continues with the sinister outlook at this new facility. John tells Marissa that Hanna fits right in. Marissa says she no longer needs to be here but John wants to welcome her back to help out. Marissa wants to know who is behind the operation and who is paying for it. John remains mute on it so Marissa asks if he can arrange a car so she can leave. Sandy tells Jules that “this” time she looks different — “Kind of sad like she lost everything she loved”. Hanna asks Clara how the curfew works — she’s prepping for the escape plan.
She wants to me leave tonight

Leo congratulates the girls for getting the booze — “Face and trigger”.
