‘Dexter’ season 7 finale spoilers: Why is Hannah so shocked?

Slowly and surely, some more details are coming into focus for the upcoming “Dexter” season 7 finale, including a few promotional photos here and there; and while there are plenty of them that are fairly routine and revolve around everything we have seen on the show’s previews thus far, the one to the left is a little bit more interesting.

Why exactly is Hannah McKay so shocked? The only thing we can think of first and foremost is that she has realized just how bad this situation is for her, and that Dexter is not changing his mind. On the other hand, you could also read it as her maybe realizing that there is another loophole that could set her free, as maybe Dexter retraced his steps and realizing that Deb or Arlene is actually the one behind the water bottle being spiked with anxiety medication. Regardless of the reason, there is clearly something going on here that Yvonne Strahovski’s character was not expecting by any stretch of the imagination.

As for how this will impact the show moving forward, that is a good question and it will be based largely on just how Hannah feels about Dexter now that she is behind bars. Is she going to come for blood? If this is so, we may see a woman who is far more terrible than Dexter could ever hope to be, especially when she has so much revenge on her mind. She tried so hard to think that she had found someone who truly understood her, but it turns out this is not the case.

Then again, it’s also possible that Hannah, if she does ever get out of prison, could just try to start again with Dexter if he helps to clear her name. Remember, this is a woman that slept with him seconds after he nearly put a knife into her heart.
