The next day, Ford calls for a family meeting and shows the Twins a picture of Bill. To his surprise, the kids are more than familiar with the triangle demon. Ford finds Bill's increased activity very concerning, and determines that they need to prepare themselves. Dipper asks what Ford's history with Bill is, but the Author dodges the question by listing their defenses; He knows of a spell to 'Bill-Proof' the Shack, but the last component is unicorn hair, and unicorns only give their hair to the pure of heart. Mabel, self-proclaimed pureheart and lover of all things girly, eagerly leaps at the chance to go unicorn-hunting. Ford gives her Journal 1 for help, but doesn't like her chances. He's met unicorns, and knows they can be frustrating. Since Bill-proofing the Shack might be out, the next best thing is to Bill-proof their minds, and takes Dipper down to his private study, in the floor between the main Shack and Portal lab.

** Celestabellebethabelle is a combined parody of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess Celestia]] (a benevolent ruler of Equestria, who is a figure of wisdom and authority and possibly a TricksterMentor) and Amalthea aka ''WesternAnimation/TheLastUnicorn''. As befits the cynicism of ''Gravity Falls'', Celestabellebethabelle pretends to be wise and able to look into humans' hearts just to torment people and get out of them asking her for favors. In the DVD commentary, Alex Hirsch admits that Celestabellebethabelle is basically Almathea without any of her redeeming qualities.

Mabel and friends go on a binge of do-goodering, and when they get back to Celestabellebethabelle, she tells them…that Mabel is still not pure of heart and that doing good deeds to make yourself look good doesn't mean anything. Mabel is crushed, whereupon Wendy decides that it's time for the 'Wendy way'; take the hair by force. After getting some pixie dust from a gnome, the other girls knock out Celestabellebethabelle, but are stopped by Mabel, who doesn't like their methods. Celestabellebethabelle wakes up, denounces the girls, claiming Mabel will never be pure of heart as she wallows in pity…and two more unicorns show up, revealing she lied about being the last of her kind and annoyed that "C-Beth" is pulling the 'pure of heart scam'.

Ford's investigation of Gravity Falls had hit a wall. He couldn't figure out what was causing the town's weirdness. One day, he found an ancient cave painting about a being with answers. In spite of the warnings not to, the desperate Ford read the inscription aloud. Nothing happened, but when Ford slept Bill Cipher appeared in his dreams. Bill claimed to be a muse, who chose one mind once a century to guide. Won over by Bill's smooth talk, Ford gave the triangle permission to enter his mind whenever. Together, the two designed the Universe Portal. But after the incident with [=McGucket=], Ford became suspicious. He confronted Bill over the Portal's true destination. Bill dropped his friendly facade and revealed that when the Portal opened, "The people of your world are gonna learn how to party!" Realizing he'd been tricked, Ford shut the Portal down and hid the Journals so no one could complete Bill's work…a plan that came to naught when Stan used the Portal to save Ford. All Bill needs now to finish his plan is the tiny Rift in order to merge Earth with the nightmare realm he comes from.
