* For context, Dan and Chris would find Elise's lab and see a glass of "juice". Chris wants to drink it but Dan warns Chris that it might be poisonous, so Dan decides to give the "juice" a test by drinking it first. Unfortunately, said "juice" turns out to be SuperSerum put in a glass of water, a fact that Elise warns Dan about; Elise then tells Dan that the serum was in its testing stages and that his transformations are triggered by anger -- and since Dan is ''[[HairTriggerTemper always]]'' angry, he has no control over his powers, much to Chris's horror; Elise puts a watch on Dan to prevent him from involuntarily shape-shifting and then tells him ''not'' to abuse his power whenever he goes on his revenge quests, and Dan reluctantly agrees with her.

** This might result in a sequel episode where Dan gets his name cleared, allowing Dan and Hortense to be able to get back together, but it would result in a terrorist organization of radical feminists plotting to murder Dan simply for being a man who refuses to be a feminist and Hortense for being a “traitor” to womankind. To balance things out, a militia of moderate feminists will show up as the [[HeroOfAnotherStory heroes]] who help the anti-hero Dan and hero Hortense fend off the radical feminists.

* '''Sexual Harrassment''' - A spoof of the #[=MeToo=] movement. Dan tries to flirt with a woman, but someone calls Dan out as a pervert, and an internet article claims that Dan is a sexual predator. Hortence would make a return from "The Wedding", revealing that she dumped Jeremiah Burger, who's revealed to be a ''real'' sexual predator, revealing that he molested Hortence. She would believe that Dan is innocent and while he's a jerk that ruined her wedding, he could never sexually harrass a woman, and apologizes for the ordeal, revealing that Dan was right all along. However, Dan and Hortence would not hook up as a couple, with the former fearing more ridicule from sensitive people.

[[WMG: Elise knew Dr. Pullem was a SuperVillain.]]
It's been shown a few times that Elise works for some shadowy government spy outfit. It's entirely plausible that this organization had developed a dossier on Dr. Pullem, but didn't have the evidence to move against him. Elise, seeing that Dr. Pullem was Dan's dentist, and that Dan had a convenient grudge against him, lied about Pullem drilling a new cavity in Dan's mouth. This gave Dan the fuel he needed to really get after Pullem, and take down his supervillainy. A little bit of Magnificent Bastardry, and Elise kills two birds with one stone; helps Dan get his revenge, and puts an indirect stop to Pullem's schemes.

Not just any girl, but Dan's first girlfriend. This little tale takes place before Dan was the Dan we know today, even before he knew Chris. This takes place in highschool. Teddy and Dan were juniors (That's important later) and had been going out for since mid-sophomore year. Just before the end of junior year, Teddy broke up with Dan and started going out with one of Dan's friends. Dan had to watch them all of senior year, and grew very cold. His other friends left him, [[JerkAss seeing what he was becoming,]] and Dan went on alone. Dan met Chris in college, and, when asked about his other friends, said that he had a friend named Ted. Chris never met Teddy or as we know him, Ted. Dan has always had Ted on his revenge list, In fact, Ted was the first name on the list. Dan will eventually take his vengeance on the girl that scorned him, but that episode won't happen for a very long time.

The only reason Elise put's up with Dan is because his cockamamy revenge schemes to take down major criminals or prevent major disasters from time to time. Elise is there to provoke Dan into chasing certain bad guys, or to keep him from causing periphery damage, but more or less Dan is super-valuable to the quasi-government agency because he does their job without pay.

Just an idea I had.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Dan is the reason Chris is frequently unemployed or underemployed.]]
I can only imagine the rap sheet Chris has from constantly being Dan's accomplice. Elise doesn't exactly help. She convinces Chris to rob a bank, sabotages his golf game with his boss and puts his former boss in a coma. Of course, Chris probably has a few convictions for reckless driving ("You've run over dozens of cyclists." New Mexico) and leaving the scene of an accident (Chris drives away after hitting a cyclist in the Werewolf and hits a bunch of cars in the Dentist.), so maybe it's not all Dan's fault.

\n[[WMG: The Road Runner is an actor in their universe.]]
In New Mexico, when Chris runs over a road runner and Dan suggests it is the Road Runner. Chris says that it doesn't look like the Road Runner. Dan counters that they use a lot of makeup. Chris never argues further. His issue is never that the Road Runner is from a cartoon, just that this road runner doesn't look like that road runner. It would explain why it's so easy to buy explosives in their world.

Debunking the Grunkle Stan theory



to:

*This has been quite obviously jossed with later episodes of Dan Vs, and even more so with season 2 of Gravity Falls, especially the episode [[spoiler:Tale of Two Stans.]]
**While Dan's parent(s) are implied to be absolutely nightmarish, everything Stan does is really [[spoiler:for his family,]] including [[spoiler:sacrificing himself to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu give the felling blow to the Big Bad.]]]]
*The show and other canon work gave a description of Stan's love life. Since [[spoiler:his arrival in Gravity Falls brought new purpose in his life in the form of rescuing his brother, and that happened when he was about 28-30 years old, it's safe to assume that his three unsuccessful relationships all happened when he lived in other parts of America during his ten years on the road. He was married to a woman named Marilyn who divorced him after 6 hours and knowing him for about a day. While that was technically enough to, you know, he found out that the marriage was so Marilyn could scam him, and he almost surely would have broken off all contact.]] Basically, even if Stan Pines did have a biological son there is almost no way he could have lived with or near him.
*Stan arrived in Gravity Falls in 1982. Gravity Falls the show takes place in 2012. Dan Vs. almost surely also happened in-universe at the same time the show happened. This would mean that Dan, 27 in 2011, was born in 1983 or 1984.
*Once CharacterDevelopment sets in, it's clear Stan is really making an effort to be a decent guardian. This is most prominent in Scary-oke. Due to force of habit from previous lifestyle choices and lifelong goals, he's not the best but he's trying. [[spoiler:It's implied, confirmed by WordOfGod that the things his father did were actually child abuse and neglect, and took his ToughLove too far because he thought those things were okay to do.]]
*Also they don't look alike at all. And Dan has never been shown to have any sort of [[AmbiguouslyJewish Jewish background or heritage, unlike Stan.]]
*On the other hand, the idea of Dan being related to the Pines, having grown up in Gravity Falls, or living in the same universe is not out of the question.
