We left off with chief and the cadets rolling on after narrowly missing a sticky grenade.

What the…..look out!

A bug in the windshield this is not. Lasky hits a Jackal with the Hog. Okay, now I’m SO glad we got to see the Jackals closer up. The Jackals in the series look like the Halo 4 style, not the classic trilogy. I’m fine with that. I suspect 343 wants we viewers to get a little used to the new look before the game, so they dropped them in here. I actually don’t mind the look too much. They do look more fierce and almost dinosaur like. I know some  have compared them to mini Godzillas from one of the recent movies. Hell, I did. But I meant it more as a cool thing, not a detraction as others have.

Anyway…

In the next sequence we see Master Chief act quickly and tend to Sully with some medical foam. Sadly, Chyler’s been hit and needs medical attention. Unfortunately, Chief used up all the foam on Sully.

Okay, so I called it did I not? Last week I said Chyler had to die and yep, looks like she’s on the way to doing just that. I mean, she’s got this huge needle sticking out of her abdomen, there’s no life saving foam, they’re in the middle of a war zone.

If you read the article where I speculated on this, I mentioned along the lines that this was a necessary plot line. Chyler dying forces Lasky to become a military man for life. He has noone left that he loves. His relationship with his mother is not that of mother and son, but more Officer to Enlisted. Not much love there.

Orenski notices that the enemy forces seem to be withdrawing. Chief states that their now being “hunted.” Now if you watched the previews for this episode last week, you know what this means. If not you were/are for one hell of a surprise…
