It's hard to figure what was happening without seeing the code.
The pyplot interface is just a state on the object-oriented, more
general, one; this way you get to quickly call the "current" figure or
axes, but it's nothing more magic than this.
I suggest using the object-oriented api and keeping the objects you
need in your code, it makes things much clearer.

That doesn't look right, as it's written.

The first "instance" is the same as last, from what you wrote you got
a figure, then its axes, then again this axes' figure that is of
course the same object you started with.

There clearly is the plt.close() call at the end.

What do you mean by "isolate all plots" there?

When I had to generate many image files I felt more natural keep the
Figure instance in the loop that called savefig(), I only changed the
plot in the "central" axes thus keeping the common layout to all
images.
