I don’t remember the end of the first book off the top of my head, even though I re-read all the books last year. It’s definitely not the best one. Probably not the worst, either. All of the books are at least some good, dumb fun, if not high literature. And you pretty much nailed it: It is monster-of-the-week-with-overarching-plot-slowly-revealed. The monster of the week aspect is mostly phased out for the overarching stuff later on. The 18th book just came out. I should get on that while most of them are still fresh in my mind.
