Youtube link Release date: September 1, 2008 Run time: 6:03 An opening crawl that recaps the series so far kicks off the season, but it is too fast to be readable. Master Chief tells the Arbiter to slow it down. Afterwords, Master Chief gives advice on how to live in and escape from prison. Eventually, he starts an escape attempt through a Pokemon battle, and encounters Tom Cruise guarding the Arbiter. The Arbiter asks to stay behind as he has a plan. Master Chief agrees and leaves. After the credits, Cortana is shown telling Obama that she informed Master Chief of his destiny.

Trivia

 * When Master Chief explains how to deal with unruly prisoners, he suggests "shoving their head up their ass" (a reference to Hancock) or throwing cooking fat in their face (a reference to Watchmen)
 * When Master Chief suggests using his one phone call, the Joker is shown, referencing a scene from The Dark Knight. The person Master Chief calls is George Costanza (from a Seinfeld episode, "The Susie"), and George's famous answering machine picks up instead
 * Master Chief tells Tom Cruise to "literally fuck his own face," and Tom Cruise says "that's my line!," as that line is spoken by Cruise's character in Tropic Thunder

Episode 3: Master Chief Meets the Network
Youtube link Release date: November 22, 2008 Run time: 8:03 The midseason finale. After a short recap, the votes of the election are counted and Barack Obama is the winner. Back at the "evil lair," however, the King is enraged that Obama won over McCain. He asks the Angry Video Game Nerd, Chris Hansen, and Chad Warden for suggestions to no avail. Jack Thompson points out that he tries to be helpful, but the King responds that Thompson has been disbarred (a real life event) and has outlived his usefulness, prompting the King to shoot him. Hillary Clinton appears to make a deal with the other villains. Meanwhile, Cortana arrives with the Arbiter, who she has freed from jail, and they explain the history of the Network to Master Chief. Founded ten years earlier, the Network included many of the series characters, heroes and villains, until a split five years earlier in which the Arbiter, Cortana, and Obama left the group. Cortana explains that the villains are about to attack the White House. Assassins arrive and kill Joe Biden as Hillary confronts Obama. Master Chief protests Obama's sacrifice and the Arbiter and Cortana try to get him to escape with them. Hillary and Obama have their final confrontation, and Hillary kills Obama.

Trivia

 * The song that plays when the King shoots Thompson is "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap; a popular Youtube fad involves playing the song during dramatic shooting-related death scenes inspired by a Saturday Night Live sketch which was in turn parodying an OC episode
 * This is the first normal episode to not have "sucks at" or "vs" in the title
 * With the death of Jack Thompson, all of the original villains from season 1 have died (though two season 2 villains, Tom Cruise and the King, appear at the very end of season 1)

Episode 4: Master Chief vs the Superweapon
Youtube link Release date: January 17, 2009 Run time: 8:37 Master Chief awakens after knocking himself unconscious 27 seconds earlier and learns the King's superweapon is hidden in a field. He, the Arbiter, and Cortana go there in the Batmobile but find nothing. Meanwhile, the King activates the device, which rises from under the ground and sends a giant laser into the sky. However, no one dies, and Cortana realizes the "weapon" is actually a portal to an unknown dimension. Master Chief and the Arbiter attempt to fight off Hillary Clinton as Cortana enters the portal, but both are defeated and Cortana returns to save them as Hillary escapes. Master Chief says that they must now enter the portal and find where it leads.
