I have a couple of small-scale thoughts/theories that might not really amount to anything (they may have been talked about before but I don't really care to look):

Stanford and his brother - Looking at the timeline we have here on the wiki, I'm wondering if Stanford came to Gravity Falls  because his brother was there, but also to forget about Carla "Hotpants" McCorkle. I was originally going to suggest that the brothers came to Gravity Falls together but it doesn't seem to work out, especially after the listening to that police audio where Stan says that he got into this mess "30 years ago", so Stan probably didn't go with his brother at first. However, "30 years" could be a broad statement for say, 34 or 36 years or something, so I don't know. I'm probably wrong, but I'm just putting it out there.

Dipper -  I wonder if Dipper and Pacifica will starting hanging out (or going out) after this. Dipper has had his relationship with Stan and Mabel change very quickly after the events of "Not What He Seems", and he's probably going to feel more distant from them than before. Dipper needs to go to someone to talk about this, and it just might be Pacifica--he certainly won't talk to Stan and Mabel about it (though he really should, he probably won't, at least not yet). I'm probably stretching for this next one, but hanging out with Pacifica also might be seen as a way to get back at Mabel for choosing Stan over him. Though I don't think Dipper would be as petty as this, it would be interesting to see if Dipper hanging out with Mabel's "former" rival (I'm not exactly sure where Mabel and Pacifica's relationship stands as of now, so they still may not exactly get along) would get to Mabel. Dipper and Mabel's relationship will heal, I'm sure, because it has been strong for so long and they really do love each other (also, if it never did, man that would be depressing).

Of course, this is all speculation. Even with the valid evidence, until we really see it validated on the screen, I try to take every theory with a grain of salt. I'm always a bit hesitant to guess what will happen in the show next, mainly because I feel like that's spoiling some of the fun for me. But it never hurts to dream up some ideas about where a show might go. To bad we won't know where it will end up until summer.
