The episode Cash of the Titans is meant to the ending. It was actually the 40th episode, and it ends with Nick and Audrey walking away holding hands, Elsie and Craven going on a date, and Randy even gets a kiss from Monique.

If the series did get renewed for a season. I could see Cameron winters kaiju defense robots responding to other mutations where godzilla is not. this could get the team feeling down when more nations are not wanting godzilla around when the kdr line has less collateral damage. Only Japan had not KDR on their soil, as they have Mecha Kong. Maybe the series ending with Cameron trying to take over the world with a more established frontline with the cyberflies and kdr along with any stray kaiju outside of monster island. The heat team could use the established kaiju auxillery abilities to take down Camerons robot soldiers with some military assistance against his bunker. the ending having winters face his crimes in jail while the world utilizing the creatures for medicine and other bio tech.

One great thing about this show is that, despite Zilla Jr. technically being aligned with humanity, the show NEVER at any point forgets that he is a wild card and dangerous, and that willingly associating with a kaiju is a huge risk, none of that "kaiju are our big puppy-dog friends and protectors" crap that poisoned the latter half of Showa-era kaiju content.

Here's a Hot Take. The episode S.C.A.L.E. is a better version of Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019). I mean it has ecoterrorists unleash the familiar monsters (restricted to an island). Plus, it uses the found footage trope in a humorous and entertaining way. Plus, the ecoterrorists actually get punished in the end and are framed as being in the wrong 100%.

34:06 Man, I'm so happy that you got part 2 of the review, but I had to do a double take when you tried to pronounce 'Gens Du Marais'. I'd go easy on you regarding the matter, but the problem is that the term has been pronounced on-screen, not just by George but by Monique once. I don't speak French fluently, but the g in 'gens' is pronounced like a j, like in 'join'. So it should be pronounced as 'jong doo Mah-ray'. Monique even says that on-screen that 'gens du marais' means 'people of the swamp'. Gens = people, du = of, marais = swamp. As to that clip of George's speech pattern, I know that he has a thick Cajun(?) accent (at least I think it's an attempt at Cajun, I could be wrong; maybe Acadian?), but it's more than intelligible. He said, 'He [Dimanche] overfished the bayou, leaving the Gens du Marais [his people] hungry. He used the waters like a dump'.

Side note; it is weird that Godzilla has switched to green blood from red. But the show was getting around the censors by not showing red blood. Otherwise the episode would have been pulled from air. At the time at least shows geared towards kids were not allowed to show red blood if it's from a wound. Quite a few shows and videogames got around using that loophole.
