I'm sure many will watch this episode with mixed feelings, but I appreciate it for not following a cookie-cutter pattern of other shows.
In the last episode we see Demon Chieftain walking across the sea coming upon the liberated Colossaeus. This episode opens with Spear and the gang coming ashore to Mira's home. What happens to the crew of the Colossaeus is never shown, we don't know if Demon Chieftain slaughtered them or just walked by.
Most of this episode is quite light, just Spear and Fang settling in with Mira's people. We do see some back story of Spear when his father lost his life fighting a pride of saber-tooth tigers and Mira being captured into slavery. When the Demon Chieftain finally shows up, I actually thought they were going to leave on a cliffhanger leading into season three, but I was wrong.
Demon Chieftain shows his great power in fighting Spear and Fang, even shape-shifting into a giant snake and cornering them on a mountain top. Demon Chieftain flames Fang and Spear, and Spear lunges at Demon Chieftain, sending both plunging to the bottom of the mountain. Demon Chieftain is injured, but just about when he was going to attack a giant hand emerges from the ground and drags Chieftain back to hell. I'm not sure if Chieftain was taken because he failed and was punished, or succeeded in killing Spear and thus the pact was complete and he then had to give up the soul he sold for revenge.
And that was it, the entire fight. Spear is then seen in the village as a crispy critter, and the healer indicates Spear will not make it. Mira, seeing a series of paintings Spear made in his hut, decides to continue Spear's bloodline and mounts him. Yes, she has sex with an almost-dead Spear, whose manhood apparently survived the burning intact enough to still function.
The last scene is Fang and her children now grown up, with Mira next to them and Spear's daughter atop of one. The end.
As of this review, a season three has not been announced. But seeing Primal won the 2021 Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Series, I would be shocked if it did not continue. The next season will probably focus on Spear's daughter, but we never did see Spear die. There was no funeral or grave, so maybe he is still alive. And the Chieftain could even return. Overall a great ride, and I hope it does not end.
