I personally think we'll see Gideon return (or in episode 32) - with the likelihood of Stan going to prison, it'd be cool to see them come to terms and escape together. I'm not sure what's going to happen to the twins in this episode - maybe they discover the portal while Stan is being interrogated. There's still the massive hole of an apocalypse mid-season - but I think the imminent threat is either the return of Bill or whatever he's been 'working on'. The best ideas so far is that the imminent threat isn't the apocolypse and McGucket is wrong about the threat, or the apocoplypse isn't a "world blow up thing" but rather something that destroys most things but not all, leaving survivors, or that they stop / slow down / postpone the apocolypse.

I'm thinking either postponing or another type of imminent danger. Notice in the second promo how they show the scene where McGucker claims it's the end times. I think that this scene, like the one where Dipper said McGucker was the author, was put in because they find out later it isn't the end times, but McGucket labels it as so, so putting it in doesn't lie about the episode content but makes people think it's the end times.
