Character arc

Dr. Keller was born and raised in

Asuran beam grazing the tower before the city can escape from the Asurans. She talks with McKay and tells him that he could save her life with Replicator nanites that once infected her.[6][7]

She is one of many people affected by nightmares in Atlantis after Colonel

Michael. When she gets back to Atlantis, she is the one who discovers that Teyla is pregnant.[1] After finding the clone of Beckett, she realises that Michael made an injection to keep his cells from deteriorating. When she is unable to find a band-aid measure, she places him in stasis to give her and a team enough time to solve the problem.[9] Two months later, she was able to wake up Beckett's clone from the stasis pod, after she found the solution from Michael's database from M2S-445. Unfortunately, she is exposed to a compound that would turn her into a Hive Ship, and threatened the base. Cloned Beckett is able to find a cure and stops the process before the IOA considers killing her.[10] Later on, she finds a gene therapy from Michael's database that would eliminate the Wraith's dependence on feeding on humans.[11]

Genii mine with him and Carter.[12] In an alternate timeline, she develops a romantic interest in McKay after they both leave the Atlantis Project, although later in this time line she dies from complications which are caused by repeated exposure to the Hoffan Drug which causes Rodney to set out to correct the error and send Sheppard back to his timeline which essentially destroys the alternate timeline.[13] In the proper timeline, McKay admits to her that he loves her, and has for some time.[14] Ronon also reveals a romantic interest in Keller.[15] However, when Dr. Keller realizes his intentions, she tells Ronon that she is interested in someone else.[16] Later on a trip back to Earth, McKay and Dr. Keller are among the people locked down in a facility while they are on a date together. After McKay revives her from a hypothermic shock, McKay and Dr. Keller share a passionate kiss. Then Dr. Keller openly professes her love for McKay and says that she has "loved him for some time now".[17]
