Aleria is the fifth episode of the second season of Halo. It premiered on February 29, 2024, on Paramount+.
In the aftermath of defeat, the survivors struggle to pick up the pieces. On the desolate planet of Aleria, John grapples with an unprecedented loss. Soren and Laera search for their missing son. Makee must tread carefully as the Arbiter grows impatient.
The battle on Reach continues as John struggles to regain consciousness. He lurches up, shouting for Vannak, while Soren and Riz struggle to fight against the fleet. They seek shelter and John sees Halsey hiding. She knows this isn't over, pointing out the ship that's coming back. Soren, Riz, and John return fire when suddenly, it all stops. Soren taunts them and a moment later a Jiralhanae Chieftain Brute crashes through the ceiling. Soren knew he shouldn't have said anything; John tells him to shut up. Riz and Soren defeat the Brute, with Soren taking credit for the kill. A ship arrives with Laera at the helm. Riz grabs Halsey as another wave of grunts and jackals arrive. Kwan wields a machine gun that holds off the forces as Soren and Riz get John inside the shift. Riz can't leave Vannak and runs to him, guns firing, against John's shouts. He watches her disappear into the smoke. A few moments later, she emerges carrying Vannak's corpse on her shoulders. Bullets and explosions circulate around her. An artillery fire strikes her in the back, knocking her down. Kwan and Laera drag her body inside. The ship takes off and John watches FLEETCOM fall, Riz's unconscious body, and Halsey rush to his side. He hallucinates Cortana talking to him, but can only hear Riz. He thinks about Makee and the connection.
John flatlines and flashes back to his treatment after the Battle on High Charity. Cortana begs Parangosky to save John. It all depends on what Cortana will do for her.
Makee watches Reach burns as she leaves its airspace. She's emotional for a moment before turning to the Arbiter, praising him for the great victory. He calls it no victory as they only secured one of the stolen Keystones. He was denied once again by the Blessed One. There is a time and place for every part of the Great Journey, but he's growing tired of her gift and prophecy. The Demon's death is his only redemption. He thinks she protects him, but she feigns no concern for the Demon. She serves a high purpose, as does the Arbiter. He does not want her preaches, reminding her she only lives by his grace. She begs him to take her life if it offends him. He snarls over her and she rolls her eyes before offering Cortana's vessel. It may tell them where the location of the next Keystone is; if she can open it.
John awakens on the ship several feet from where Riz is intubated. He rips off his heart monitor so he can crawl to her side. Halsey watches the scene unfold. He sits on her bedside and asks Halsey if she'll live. She needs tools to perform surgery on Riz. John feels he used Riz's sense of having to prove herself to push her too far, that's why she went back against her better judgement. Halsey reminds him that Spartans don't leave Spartans behind. He blunts says that hat she went back for wasn't a Spartan, because he was already dead. Halsey reiterates that Riz made a choice. He doesn't believe Spartans make choices. She told them where to go, what to think, who to kill, and they did that every time, without question. They followed orders like a machine. He's not a human, because real people have lives. They have families and possibilities. He forces Halsey to look at Riz and tell him what she sees. If that's a woman or a piece of equipment that she leaves on the battlefield, dump, and forget. Halsey merely stares at him so he releases her to sit on a chain. The ONI left them down there to die with no evac or armor. He asks if they've made contact with any of the other teams, with Kai, but there's no way of telling anything. He's been comatose for two days. He wants to go back for the survivors on Reach as he believes they need him. They don't need him and he realizes they're all dead. She feels his fever. John told them what would happen, he told Ackerson, but they didn't listen. They knew already and did nothing. He could have stopped it from happening if he just had his armor. Halsey reminds him Reach was a plan and they need to remain invisible. He picks up on her usage of the term "we" which she claims has always been the case.
Makee tries to open Cortana's vessel by speaking to her. She commands Cortana to emerge in the name of the gods. Cortana points out the little button she could have pressed. Cortana's fascinated by the Covenant ship. Makee corrects that they are aboard a Covenant command vessel owned by the Zealot, Var'Gatani, the former supreme commander of the First Fleet of Solemn Accord, the Arbiter. Makee asks what Cortana is. She explains she's is the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world. Makee wants to know what Cortana is to Master Chief. She says they work together. She knows that John remembers Makee, who wants to see his memories of the Ring. Cortana refuses as it doesn't belong to her. She speaks Shangheili back to Makee. She reminds Cortana that they both are in danger of being useless. Cortana merely disappears.
John wakes up to Kwan standing over him. He sits up as Soren greets him. He's been out for three days. Laera has tried contacting the station but there's no noise. They're planning to land in Aleria, a planet they'll be orbiting soon, and one that Kessler is on. Kwan leads John to another room where Vannak's corpse rests. Kwan stays with him every night. John starts to leave, a move that Kwan questions, as this is his friend. John coolly says it's just a body and his friend isn't there.
