I think Bill Cipher's wheel is some kind of prophecy, where all ten characters will have to work together to accomplish something huge. Dipper, Mabel, Grunkle Stan, Soos and Wendy were friends all along. McGucket, Robbie, and Pacifica became closer friends with the Pines within the last 5 episodes. And now Stanley(?) came out of the portal. Assuming he's friendly, the odd one out is Gideon.

As I was writing this, I came up with a theory that they might create a reverse Star Wars scenario. So Bud Gleeful, who had originally been blissfully ignorant of the evil in his family, somehow manages to convert his son to the good side.

Bottom line, for this theory to work, Gideon has to be redeemed somehow. He could just be there when everything is ending or whatever, and just decide to help out so the world ends.

He doesn't need to redeem himself. Could just be like Team Rocket in the Pokemon movies.
