This episode has me standing by the idea that there is an undercurrent about how you can’t go home again, no matter how much you want to.  Particularly with that ending.  If there was a symbol to Genndy returning to the Spear story, it’s the shambling revenant Neanderthal seeing the love of his past life and his T-Rex friend but not being the Spear they remember.

There's definitely a sense of that. I still find myself asking if bringing Spear back in this fashion was warranted at all and that's not ideal 3-4 episodes deep. I mean a rotting, zombified main character with exposed brain matter is definitely a choice.

OTOH, this was the best episode of the bunch and the world is still interesting, but it's gonna take a lot of work to justify it's own existence. I'll watch either way as a fan of the art style,  animation and world building and there's more than enough garbage getting produced these days to the point where complaining about an animated show that might be a little past it's prime seems a bit superfluous.

Yeah, seems to be slowly coming back up though.

If there’s a recurring theme in this season, well, two themes, they are frustrations and nostalgia.  Everyone pines for something more familiar, more known but there’s no going back to that, no matter how much they want to.  And that’s frustrating for just about everyone, trying to be something familiar but clearly failing.  Genndy’s frustrations are in every episode, his creative frustrations at having to reheat the nachos, and his personal frustrations at not being allowed to move forward with his ideas being turned down by Sony at every single turn while they make hundreds of millions, if not billions off of Japanese creatives who face no such stiff-arming.
