Since Season 2 won’t be back until Summer, I figured I’d compile a list of possibilities that I theorize could happen in the second half of the season:

- Stanley Pines, having been trapped in another dimension for three decades, starts out weary of Mabel and having lost trust in Grunkle Stan at first, but grows attached to his (possibly) granddaughter and even begins finding faith in his twin brother once more as the half progresses.

- If there’s another Dippifica episode, they’ll be getting to know each other a bit more, and Pacifica could even try to comfort Dipper about what happened at the end of Not What He Seems.

- McGucket and the Stans will reminisce on the good ol’ days before Bill came in to make everything a living hell for ‘em, leading to a somber fallout.

- If the “Bipper has Returned” theory is true and Bill IS using Dipper’s body again, there will be an episode with the real Dipper trapped in the mindscape, or Bill’s dimension, after being turned to wood, and trying to either warn his friends and family (which won’t be easy as Bill learned his lesson about possession in Sock Opera, which was to not greatly injure or wear out the vessel you’ve stolen and to be much more discreet and subtle with what you do in said vessel) or find a way back into the physical world.

- Wendy will play a more prominent role in the second half, either trying to keep cool on this but having a Heroic BSOD when she finds out what’s been happening that day or feeling dejected and left out since the events of NWHS (really, though, who would blame her?) and being forced to make a deal with Bill.

- Speaking of Bill Cipher, the purpose of the long-theorized wheel will be revealed, obviously.

- Gideon, having broken out of prison with his legion of criminals, will have no choice but to help our heroes face off against Bill… but only because Gideon wants to exact his revenge on Gravity Falls.

- I know I’m gonna have a ton of people jumping at my throat for saying this, but Dipper will still have SOME romantic interest in Wendy. … What? Can you really blame me for saying that?

And finally, but most tragically…

- …Bill, having been defeated by the souls symbolized on his wheel, is forced to retreat to the mindscape; however in a move parallel to the original Mystery Twins’ fate, Dipper will be trapped in the mindscape with him, which will lead to either a third season or a movie where everyone gets together to rescue Dipper and stop Bill once and for all.

And those are what I think could happen in Season 2B of Gravity Falls. Now, keep in mind, I may be proven wrong on a lot of these when 2B comes along (in fact, I might even be wrong on every single one), but it’s still a long time before the hiatus ends, and I thought I’d throw my 2 cents in on what I could see happening come the next 11 episode.
