Halo Season 1, Episode 6: 8 “Allegiance” Easter Eggs And References You Missed

The eighth episode of Halo Season 1, “Allegiance,” has arrived, and it’s a doozy. As the penultimate episode of the season, it sets some pretty major things in motion leading into next week’s finale. Just when it seemed like things might be getting on track for Master Chief to stand on his own against Halsey, everything has been thrown into a blender.

Warning: The following contains major spoilers for Halo Season 1, Episode 8–“Allegiance.” If you’ve yet to watch the episode, you should stop reading now.

First, we should talk about the most important part of this episode, and it’s that Master Chief and Makee hook up, which is honestly a pretty shocking moment. Not an Easter egg at all, but definitely one of those head-scratching events that feels wildly out of character, but makes you want to care about both of these characters on a deeper level.

But you’re here for the Easter eggs and references. Well, thankfully, there were plenty. Whether it was vague nods to Fall of Reach, planets getting glassed by the Covenant, or a big change from the game’s lore about Halsey’s connection to Halo.

Take a look below at the eight things we found in this episode while you prepare for the Season 1 finale of Halo.
