So let’s say the government guys didn’t show up this episode, there was no conflict, and Stan was able to be right there at the portal when his brother came in without Soos or the twins there. (Like how he probably originally thought it would all happen)
…
What was he planning to do after he got his brother back? Was he gonna drag his brother upstairs and introduce him and the twins? Was he gonna make his brother stay in the basement and hide from Dipper and Mabel so they wouldn’t be able to ask questions? (That one might be hard considering the damage the portal caused). Was he gonna take his brother out of town to do stuff or make him wear a disguise of some kind? Will we ever even know? Will it even matter what he WOULD have done? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!
