**Adding to that, when Bill possesses a person, their eyes become slited and yellow. So when Ford was looking at Stan's eyes, it wasn't just for paranoia, he was making sure his brother wasn't being puppeted.

* Considering what we later learn Pacifica's parents did to her when it comes to bells, she must have been internally screaming with Durland constantly ringing a bell so close to her.

* Ford offering Dipper an apprenticeship might ''seem'' like it was a great offer... until you realize [[NoSocialSkills the]] [[IWorkAlone type of person Ford is]]. If he'd followed through with his plans and drove both Mabel and Stan[[note]]And by extension, Soos and Wendy. After all, Ford wouldn't probably want them in his house, now would he?[[/note]] away, then there'd be no one to restrain Dippers's obsession with research or Ford's influence on him. This could've easily turned Dipper from someone who could balance between knowledge and friendship into Ford at his worst -- a self-absorbed, know-it-all shut-in who only cares about his research and his own perceived brilliance -- thus driving away any remaining friends who'd still want to approach him. After all, what Ford didn't realize is that Dipper, for all his obsession with his journals and research, still treasures his family and friends and never saw Mabel as "suffocating" his potential.
* So what would've happened if Mabel didn't take the Rift by accident and Dipper and Ford managed to seal the Rift as planned? Well, assuming that Ford drove Stanley and his employees away from his home and Dipper stayed with Ford as his apprentice, the Pines twins would've been torn apart from each other. Mabel would've fallen into a deep depression because Dipper chose Ford over her, Stanley would've probably been arrested yet again due to a failed scamming attempt, and Ford would've eventually made Dipper into a copy of himself. In other words, had the Rift sealing gone exactly as planned, ''Gravity Falls'' would have ended on a [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet note]]: The Rift is sealed and Bill will never invade Gravity Falls, but history repeats itself--a close relationship between twins is broken apart because one chose ambition over family. Mabel's carelessness actually stopped the cycle from repeating.

* It has since been established that Time Baby rules future Earth with an iron fist. But when Bill Cipher kills him, the people of the year 207̃012 have essentially won their freedom. In other words, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Bill inadvertently saved all of humanity]].
