"Weirdmageddon 2: Escape From Reality"[1] is the 19th episode of the second season of Gravity Falls and the thirty-ninth episode overall. It premiered on November 23, 2015.[1] This is the second episode in the Weirdmageddon story arc.[2]
Official overview
Dipper, Soos and Wendy must save Mabel from a strange new world, while Bill's forces plan their next move.[1]
Synopsis
The episode begins with Weirdmageddon on Day 4. Manly Dan is turned to stone, and Sprott is seen holding a triangular sign, protesting Bill Cipher's ways of life. He too, is turned to stone and brought to Bill's pyramid fortress.
Bill plays with Ford, in stone, and announces the latest successes, which are turning citizens of Gravity Falls into stone, which are later placed in a chair, while Lazy Susan is the one exception seen, coming to, and then later going back into unconsciousness. He announces his plan to take Weirdmageddon world wide, and the demons make their way toward the edge of Gravity Falls. But, instead of escaping to the rest of the world, they hit a shield and ricochet back toward Bill's Fortress. Intrigued, Bill realizes that only Ford could be able to understand the shield, and begins to plan his next move.
Dipper, Wendy, and Soos enter Mabel's Prison Bubble. After taking a few steps, the bubble begins to fracture and Soos grab Dipper and Wendy, expecting a hard fall. Instead they land on bounce house, surprised that this is Mabel's prison. Xyler and Craz appear, almost running the group over. They ask if they can want a grand tour, and with no other option, they go.
After the tour, they go to the land's court. A person showed memories (Mabel being put with gum, Dipper having no valentine cards, etc). Sometime later, after they pat, they go. The whole Mabelland becomes evil, colors being red and black. They ride Waddles, who is unaffected by this, and gets a needle. Waddles jumps, then the bubble pops.
