I wanna talk about this scene.
First let me just say that this shouldn’t be another reason to be mad at Ford, because he doesn’t realize he’s doing this (yet) but this still should be pointed out.
Ford told Stan that at the end of the Summer, the Mystery Shack is done. This is bad enough for Stan, seeing as the Shack is the first and only successful money maker of his life. But I think we’re forgetting someone who this will also effect.
Soos
The Mystery Shack is, and has been, Soos’s life for at least a decade. It seems to currently be the only source of income for Soos and his grandma. So what’s he gonna do when Ford forces the Shack to be closed? Will he and his grandma be homeless like Stan will probably be?
And also, how and when is Stan gonna tell Soos?
If he tells Soos next time he sees him, Soos is gonna get really upset and emotional, and he’d likely tell the kids, and that’s just gonna create family drama for the Pines family because Dipper and Mabel aren’t going to be really happy with their Grunkle Ford if they know he’s gonna kick out their Grunkle Stan. And they would try to find some way to stop him from doing it (I’m pretty sure neither of the Grunkles are gonna tell the kids about this because they don’t want them to interfere).
However, if Stan tells Soos at the end of the Summer, right before or as the the Shack gets closed, Soos will still be upset of course, but that really isn’t fair to Soos because he could have spent his last few weeks there getting closure and enjoying his last moments.
And I came up with this awefull scenario: What if Stan fired Soos to encourage him to get a new job before the Shack is closed? Like Stan’s way of trying to ease Soos away from the Shack to make it easier for the man-child to have it taken away from him.
Basicaly Ford is about to tear Soos’s world apart and he doesn’t even realize it.
