Didn't they conclude his story in the debut episode? Him not only becoming human again but taking on a more handsome form was a perfectly fine ending, all this does is revert him back to his original form.

But uh... Yeah, not sure how many times I need to say this but the overarching plot of the 2012 was not a good one. It's a better show than the FW cartoon and generally has better ideas but that doesn't mean it doesn't have major problems.

Timothy never returning to human form despite Don promising to help is really just one of several disappointing/unresolved plotlines in that show. Remember how nearly every villain of the week was teased to come back but few ever did (at least not in serious ways)? Or how Dregg turned out be a robot with no explanation for how or why? Or how Shredder somehow needed to mutated to fix nerve pinches? Or how they ended up Karai turning good too quickly so they needed to literally give her a brain parasite to stall for time?

The 2012 show has good individual episodes, that does not mean the larger narrative they're a part of is good. The show's overall plot can kind of be thought as a candy cane and coffee bean hamburger, things I like individually but won't work mashed together.
