Based on the preview for episode 9, I fully expect the final two episodes to revolve around resurrecting Pablo.

I think Pablo will definitely be back. In what way or shape, who knows. But based on the preview for the next episode, I think the last two episodes will revolve around trying to bring him back to life.

You can pry the term dumpster fire from my cold, dead, smoldering dumpster hands.

We're talking about a franchise in which Ash himself cobbled together a fully functioning robotic hand out of chain mail armor while stranded in 1300 AD. In a single afternoon.

I don't think they ever did anything as high tech as painting out his hand, I think they just did what they did in the films: put a flat plate over his hand and pull the sleeve down around it.
