The whole "Not What He Seems" episode is gonna be all about finding more about Stan's past - and maybe family -  and busting him out of jail. We might learn that Gideon is older than he looks (The "Growing up is optional" cipher - made by Bill, of course). The aphocalypse will only happen on the last part to make it a double ep...

But, when it happens, I bet we will find Stanley (in person) who might share his body/persona with Bill ("Is he me? Am I him?" cipher, made by the author - probably Stanley. If not him, then McGucket will remember Bill getting to his mind and getting him insane!).

One way or another, Bill will appear and try to enslave humanity. The symbol characters may either stop or help him by accident:

Pine Tree - Dipper

Shooting Star - Mabel

Question Mark - Soos

Crescent Moon - Grunkle Stan

Ice - Wendy (Always near ice. Cool character - pun unintended)

Llama - Pacifica (The llama painting at her mansion)

Broken Heart - Robbie

Glasses - Stanley (His glasses on the carpet room nightstand)

Six-Fingered Hand - Old Man McGucket (Author of at least one of the books)

Five-Point Star - Gideon
