Overview
''When someone tampers with Mabel's life-size wax statue, she and Dipper set out to find the culprit. Meanwhile, Grunkle Stan mourns over the loss of his wax doppelganger.''

Synopsis
It's night at the Mystery Shack. Dipper and Mabel are watching a show called Duck-tective. Soos runs in and want to show Dipper and Mabel what he found while he was cleaning. He takes them to see a secret door hidden behind the wallpaper. They open it and discover a secret wax museum. Mabel is admiring how lifelike they are. Dipper points out one that he thinks isn't so lifelike. It's actually Grunkle Stan, which scares Dipper, Mabel and Soos and they run screaming.

End Credits
Mable is trying to decide which sweater to wear, the purple one or the yellow one with the llama. She asks Dipper which sweater she should pick and, unbeknownst to her, the wax head of Larry King peeks at her through the heat vent and suggests the one with the llama. Mabel thinks she heard Dipper and thanks him and leaves to change, while Dipper looks at the camera in confusion.
