Wow. What an episode! But without further ado, let's get started.

''NOTE: This review will technically be full of "ado". ''

What's it about? What happens?
Episode 19 of Gravity Falls kicks off with Stan, Dipper, Mabel, Soos, and Wendy getting together to mock one of Gideon's flamboyant TV commercials. While doing so, the chubby child-psychic breaks into a different room with a safe so he can steal the deed to the shack and gain ownership over it. He fails just as quick as he starts, as Stan is simply able to chase him out with a broom. They could've called the cops but...oh wait, that wouldn't help much.

Anyway, we see Dipper finally get fed up with being Grunkle Stan's doormat and it starts to get on his last nerve. Remember kids, it's good to lend a helping -hand to elders, but if your Great Uncle tells you to get rid of a bat in the kitchen, say no.

By this point, Gideon is now at the end of his rope and decides that's it's time to call upon the most powerful secret in his cryptic journal maked ''"2". ''Gideon starts casting the spell needed to summon his great secret weapon, but Soos and Mabel hear the commotion and track it down toward the forest. The hidden duo spot Gideon and see a triangle-shaped being appear before him. The whimsical one-eyed wonder introduces himself as Bill Cipher and eagerly obilges to do Lil' Gideon's dirty work (in exchange for a "small price") and nab the combination to Grunkle Stan's safe by travelling into, brace yourself, his memories! So Mabel, Soos, and a reluctant Dipper venture in Stan's mind in order to beat Bill to the combination and keep the Mystery Shack from being taken over. Mabel summons her two "dreamy" (literally and figuratively) boy-cronies into play as the quintet scatter around and search for clues. Dipper comes across a memory of Grunkle Stan and Soos talking on the porch. Soos asks Stan why he's so hard on Dipper all the time and Stan answers that he's ashamed of the boy's wimpiness. Hearing this, Dipper returns to the rest of the gang and tells them he's throwing in the towel. Soos, Mabel, Xyler and Craz go after Bill (who had tricked them earlier by impersonating Soos and getting the combination, then subsequently losing it) and find the equilateral beast who prepares to smite them on the spot.

Dipper glumly returns to the memory, but finds out that he misheard as it turns out Grunkle Stan was just trying to toughen Dipper up all this time so he'll fight back if and when the world is hard on him. The Stan within the memory reveals that you can do anything you can imagine in a dreamscape. Dipper rushes to his friends and delivers this information and displays laser-vision. After an awesome battle, Bill agrees to leave but not before telling the victors that things aren't over (are they ever?). Stan is saved, and so is the Mystery Shack....'or is it? 'Gideon reappears with the stolen deed and we see his father with a wrecking-ball truck destroying the roof of the shack.

TO BE CONTINUED...(I'm not talking about the review. It really says this at the end of the episode)

Review
I really like this episode. Nothing is better than a flashback, especially one about Grunkle Stan when he was a kid. We learn that Stan was picked on everyday by bullies, and how he wasn't able to stand up for himself. His dad signed him up for wrestling, but that didn't do him much good either. But one day, Stan actually mustered up the courage to stop a man from stealing a lady's purse (by knocking his lights out).

The lesson here is not backing down even when all seems lost, and nothing shows it better than at the climax when the gang is battling Bill.

Anyway, the next episode is called "Gideon Rises". Sounds like the kid is finally getting a booster seat.

Until next time, I'm Izunna Nwogbo.
