Shows always leave a cliffhanger at the end in case they decide to return to the show. Though the road trip thingy wouldn't be classified as a proper cliffhanger, The Limax episode left a great cliffhanger, although since writers didn't want to continue with the Limax plot, they instead bummed out that there will be A limax war in the future in which Max loses his arm. Not always, some shows will set it up an ending that is finalised so no one can pick up the franchise later on, like killing off a major character or flashing forward to 20 years in the future where they're living happily ever after. Granted that happens less with cartoons and more with live action shows.
