Yes it does,all it takes is a speck of pollen from a non-hybrid plant,and you'll end up with a mutt.

A hybrid plant will not change. It's a product of deliberate breeding. Its seeds will not "come true," however. The seeds carry the DNA from both parents and will revert to one or the other - they will not reproduce the hybrid they came from.
If you want to reproduce the mother plant, the only way is by cloning, i.e. rooting cuttings from the original hybrid.

The hybrid plant that one starts with stays hybrid no matter what it's offspring turn out to be. Seed from a hybrid is usually enviable and those that are are a product of the redistribution of the parents' genes. Whether or not the parents are hybrid.

definitely, the next generation will not be the same, It has to be propagated from cutting to clone it again. Some 2nd generation seeds are not even viable.
