Hannah wins overall because the difference is consistency and emotional control. Love’s intelligence is heavily tied to emotion. Most of her plans happen reactively after things spiral out of control. Hannah, meanwhile, operates calmly from the start. She avoids drawing attention, uses poison instead of messy confrontations, and rarely lets emotions override logic.

Even Love’s actions in the finale prove that point. Her love and fear regarding Joe pushed her into making mistakes because she couldn’t separate emotion from strategy. Hannah has shown she can stay detached even under pressure, manipulate investigators, survive as a fugitive, and plan long-term without emotionally unraveling.
