This is Ford’s long-simmering nightmare come true. It’s Ford’s fault that Bill was let into our world in the first place. Ford contacted Bill as a way to try to help him with his research, and Bill manipulated Ford into opening a gateway between their worlds. Ford has felt for the last thirty years a profound sense of panicked guilt about being the one to potentially unleash Bill and has made it his Moby Dick-Captain Ahab like mission to take Bill down. So he’s been waiting for this for a long time. In a perverse way he might be a bit excited about it because if it means that he can finally take Bill down once and for all, it will be the grand triumph of his life and his career. But as we’ve seen in his life and in his career, things don’t always go as planned. For Dipper this is an absolute nightmare. Dipper loves the paranormal and the mysterious more than the ordinary life he’s living. Something like Weirdmageddon can almost seem like the dark answer to what Dipper had always wanted, which is a crazy world where magic and mystery were all around, and him and some others were acting as heroes. But when he actually gets it, it’s not as fun as he predicted.

There’s definitely a fatherly relationship between Soos and Stan. I mean, as you guys saw in “Blendin’s Game,” Soos is a guy who never really had a big family, and Stan, as we learned in “A Tale of Two Stans,” is a guy who had an awful relationship with his own family, you know, never really got that family life, and so they both kind of found each other accidentally. I imagine probably in the first week of having this little kid work for him, Stan–you know, even though he acted like a gruff jerk, was secretly happy to kinda have someone who looked up to him for once in his life, and Soos was happy to have someone who would listen to him and tell him what to do, some kind of father figure. And even though Stan is the worst possible father figure, his heart’s in the right place and Soos is somebody who only sees your heart. He sees the best in everyone.
