Upon arrival, she finds that the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] is already searching for her. She eludes their patrols and finds her home, where she encounters a wheelchair-bound girl whose appearance is nearly identical to hers. It is then that a [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] approaches, with Halsey on board. Halsey explains via COM that the abducted Spartans were replaced with [[flash cloning|flash-clones]], to cover up the kidnappings. Halsey unsuccessfully attempts to convince Daisy to return to the training program; instead, the confused Spartan draws her weapon and aims it at the clone. She hesitates for a while, and lowers the weapon. As she begins to leave, the clone calls out to her, and gives her a small teddy bear on a chain that Daisy lost when ONI agents abducted her. Daisy returns to UNSC custody, and the clone dies soon after.

Later, during a battle on a war-torn world in the [[Human-Covenant War]], Daisy-023 assists several [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] that had been pinned down by enemy fire. As she assists the Marines in reaching an evacuation point, she encounters [[Ralph-103]], a fellow escapee who is now working as a Marine. As the evacuation [[Pelican]] dropship lands and the Marines board the vessel, Daisy is impaled by [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] rounds. She unsuccessfully attempts to provide covering fire using a [[M6 Series|pistol]]; the Pelican is completely destroyed with [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|Fuel Rod Gun]] fire, killing everyone aboard. Daisy dies soon after from the Needler rounds.

Joseph Chou was inspired by [[Eric Nylund]]'s novel''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach| Halo: The Fall of Reach]] ''which detailed the background of the Spartans. After discussing story ideas with Shinji Aramaki they decided to create a story about a group of Spartans that escape and ultimately one who faces their self. The story was taken to Production I.G for development where it was presented to director Koji Sawai who had worked for Production I.G in the past including work with Mamoru Oshii. I.G President Mitsuhisa Ishikawa chose Sawai for his known ability to portray females in a very strong way with both affection and beauty.

Sawai, who is presently a director for Bee Train Productions Inc., (a former subsidary company of I.G) along with his friend Koichi Mashimo brought in their own team of artists and animators including long time writing collaborator Hiroyuki Kawasaki. Sawai's objective was to bring the studio’s own unique style and flavor with their best staff to the episode and the entire Halo Universe in the time allowed.

While all promotional materials cited Production I.G as the producer of Homecoming, the official video release credits Bee Train to the principal animation work, with studio head Mashimo acting as the executive producer.  He was also given credit as being the director in the promotional materials and by the website.

*According to a series of "trading cards" posted on Facebook as part of a promotional campaign for ''Halo Legends'', the battle in ''Homecoming'' takes place on Harvest. However, the same cards also erroneously claim Harvest is Daisy's homeworld, and have other mistakes, such as spelling Sergeant Hauser's name as "Howser". In addition, the planet is shown to have moons in ''Homecoming'', whereas Harvest has no natural satellites. The site of the battle in the episode also has a number of visual allusions to Daisy's flashbacks of her homeworld, which could imply the scene takes place on Sargasso and would thus date the battle as late as [[2546]]. This is supported by the opening narration, which states that the [[Outer Colonies]] are already gone at the time, implying the episode takes place after 2535. Whatever the case, [[Jeff Easterling]] has stated that [[343 Industries]] have chosen to leave the setting vague for the time being.<ref>[https://twitter.com/GrimBrotherOne/status/1038898982880047104?s=19 ''Twitter: Reply by GrimBrotherOne'']</ref>

*Interestingly, the team assigned to Daisy-023 was Delta Team in the original Japanese dub, however it was changed to Gamma Team in the English dub.
