After spreading some flyers that announced a $1,000 reward for anyone with information about a car spotted by some camera near Twin Pines Inn the night of Beth's murder, Mary was approached at her glinic by an individual who introduced himself as Mad Dog, who claimed he have saw said car in a junkyard in the Green; immediately the girl called Luke Fox and asked Mad Dog to tell him the same thing since they believe said car belong to Beth's killer.

Personality
- "You're the one thing I did right."
- —Catherine Hamilton-Kane to Mary Hamilton[src]
Mary is very excitable, talkative, friendly, and kind of a social butterfly; she is described as her step-sister Kate Kane's polar opposite[17] and one of Kate trainers dubbed her as "Girl Who Talks Too Much".[3] Despite coming off as a ditzy socialite, Mary is a very kind-hearted individual who will go to any length to help those she loves and the people in need, such as Gotham's underserved communities.[5] Due to the bond she shares with her step-sister Kate, Mary is one of the few individuals who can talk her around,[7] also, even when the two of them argue or when Mary is resentful toward Kate, she was also extremely quick to forgive her.[6]
Because of their differences however, Mary and Kate were never really close, much to Mary's dismay, though she still tried to be friendly and supportive of her step-sister. As a result though, Mary harbored some resentment towards Kate for dismissing and only seeing her as a replacement for the latter's biological sister, Beth. Mary even lashed out at Luke Fox over how Kate still favored a serial killer to her despite all her best efforts to be a good sister[9] and began questioning Kate's love for their family after she refused to talk to Mary since she had "work to do" when their parents were about to divorce.[4]
Mary is also quite empathetic and sensitive; she was horrified after discovering that her mother had manipulated the DNA test on Beth's alleged skull fragments in order to gave Jacob and Kate closure,[9] having a very hard time forgiving Catherine for this deception. Mary felt great sorrow when her mother and adoptive father were about to divorce,[4] and was devastated for being unable to reach and act more sisterly with Kate. Also, despite her animosity towards Alice, after meeting her doppelgänger she realised she was nothing like her and quickly became friends with her.[2]
Mary has often proven to be quite an assertive, inquisitive, and free-spirited girl, not bothering about being politically correct when questioning Sophie Moore's sexuality[7] or discussing her past relationship with Kate and the impact it had on her.[5][10]
After her mother's death Mary matured a lot, taking full charge of her step-father's trial and choosing to shut down all of her social media accounts, also deciding to close her clinic feeling she couldn't be a good doctor as she was unable to save her own mother;[6] however she eventually managed to overcome her grief, deciding to continue her path and keep both her clinic[14] and her social media accounts[1] open.
