The pair head to Bud Gleeful's car lot for a ride, but are confronted by Lil' Gideon's gang, who have become Bill's enforcers. Gideon shows the key to Mabel's bubble, gloating that soon Mabel will love him. Wendy manages to steal not just the key but a car for her and Dipper to escape in, instigating a chase. Eventually, they crash, but our found by Soos. Unfortunately, Gideon's gang has found them as well. Gideon repeats his belief that Mabel will be his, but Dipper tells him that it doesn't work like that; Even if Gideon likes Mabel, Mabel won't return the feeling because of how evil Gideon is. Recalling his own failed crush on Wendy, Dipper explains that to win someone's love, you have to be someone worth loving. Realizing how uncomfortable Mabel was with the forced nature of their previous relationship, Gideon allows the Mystery Shack crew to leave so he and his gang can rebel against Bill. Dipper, Wendy, and Soos soon make it to the bubble. Undoing the lock with the key, the three enter, ready to take on whatever trap Bill has set.

** The Henchmaniacs commonly do this in the episode. You'll never see the 10 at the same time.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Bill kills Time Baby and the Time Police, Blendin says he has to get "the heck outta time dodge", and disappears to parts unknown. We never see him again in the series.

* MoneyIsNotPower: Preston learns it the hard way when he hopes his wealth will make him useful for Bill Cipher as a horseman of the Apocalipse.

* BloodKnight: At least one of the Discount Autoparts Warriors thinks that "fighting children is boring, but fighting a Chaos God sounds ''fun!''"

* TheCavalryArrivesLate: Time Baby and his army arrive three days after Weirdmageddon has started, and Bill promptly wipes them out. Blendin's the only survivor.

* HatDamage: Ford's WaveMotionGun misses Bill's body, merely punching a hole in his hat. [[SubvertedTrope Except this shows the "hat" is actually part of Bill's]] ''[[BizarreAlienBiology body]]'', so the hole displays meaty, though [[BloodlessCarnage bloodless]], innards before Bill rapidly regenerates.

* ConspicuousCG: The tank Wendy drives.

'''Wendy:''' (''unimpressed'') Nobody is ''every'' gonna call you that.

* AlternateCredits: The opening credits are a nightmarish version of the normal ones.

* TheCavalryArrivesLate: Time Baby and his army arrive three days after the Weirmaggedon has started, and Bill promptly wipes them out. Blendin's the only survivor.

* NotNowKiddo: Pacifica is ignored by her father when she calls him out on embracing Bill's NewWorldOrder. All things considered, it's a pretty good improvement from a bell.

->''"This party never stops! [[TimeCrash Time is dead]] and [[WorldOfChaos meaning has no meaning!]] [[RealityIsOutToLunch Existence is upside down]] and [[TheBadGuyWins I reign supreme!]] Welcome one and all to '''[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt WEIRDMAGEDDON!]]'''"''

* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Preston's attempt to be TheQuisling toward Bill earns him a horribly deformed face. Although Bill isn't so much offended by Preston's treachery as by the fact that [[EntitledBastard Preston presumes that he's personally deserving of Bill's favor]].

* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Preston's attempt to be TheQuisling toward Bill earns him a horribly deformed face, although Bill isn't so much offended by Preston's treachery as by the fact that Preston presumes that he's personally deserving of Bill's favor.

* AssholeVictim: Preston Northwest gets his face horribly disfigured by Bill Cipher, but [[{{Jerkass}} he]] [[AbusiveParents very much]] [[TheSociopath deserved it]].

* AndIMustScream: Mr. Northwest's fate, due to FacialHorror. The image even references the TropeNamer because his mouth disappears when Bill switches the different orifices on his face, and his screams become muffled.

* AbsenteeActor: This is the only episode of the series in which Mabel doesn't appear, aside from a brief, non-speaking cameo in the beginning, due to her playing the role of DamselInDistress.

** When Preston tries to betray the rest of the town and humanity to save his own hide, Bill Cipher rejects his offer with a gruesome spell, to demonstrate that he just doesn't give a damn.

* {{Badass}}: Bill Cipher. He conquers the entire town with his chaos magic and the help of his demonic friends, [[FacialHorror twists and mangles the face]] of [[AssholeVictim Preston Northwest]], [[BadassInDistress immobilizes Stanford Pines]] and [[TakenForGranite turns him into a golden statue/backscratcher]], and he [[CurbStomp completely obliterates]] the [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Time Baby]].

* AbsenteeActor: This is the only episode of the series in which Mabel doesn't appear, due to her playing the role of DamselInDistress.
