I never watched that show, but that seems like a good comparison! I guess it's all a good lesson in the end to be careful when trusting in someone else's life experiences.

And I don't think Gideon was deceiving Dipper. He is acting out of love, but now for the right reasons. When you look back at past episodes, his love for Mabel has always been (one of) his overarching motivations. In his first episode the only reason he went after Dipper was because he saw him as an obstacvle to Mabel. And in this latest episode, his main job was to basically be the keeper of her bubble because he wants her to love him.

Even though his conversion to the good side was quick, it was still very genuine. I think the way Dipper described things for him managed to overwrite what Bill had done/was going to do for him. With Dipper's way, he's more likely to truly earn Mabel's love, and that's what matters now. He wants to help Dipper because it'll make him look better to Mabel, and Dipper will tell Mabel what Gideon did.

And same here for Ford. I need my adorable nerd back. (Also, is it just me, or did him being turned to gold seem very Han-Solo-getting-frozen-in-carbonite-like? And Ford and Dipper in general have that whole Jedi-master/Padawan vibe going... XD)
