At the Gravity Falls Prison, Gideon sat in his cell as he sulked. He had it all. Power, Fame, and the Pines out of the way. What went wrong? His impatience? His eagerness? His blind love for Mabel? Either way, he wants vengeance on Mabel's family for what happened that ruined his life.

"The Pines made widdle ol' Me, Gideon Gleeful, a bigger joke than anybody in the world ever could! Mark my words, you'll pay for everything! You cost me my car, schoolwork, love life, money, job and my home... overall my life!" Gideon moped.

"Then that makes two of us." A voice was heard as the sink went off by itself, stunning Gideon, the water soon turned into Lawrence, casually leaning on the sink.

"Who the hell are you?!" Gideon said, frightened.

"Let's just say I'm a kindred spirit..." Lawrence smirked.

"Well, leave me alone, pal, I'm thinking." Gideon said.

"But I can guess what's on your mind, though. Those damn Pines, huh?" Lawrence quipped. "What if I told you that I've got the answer?"

"Yeah? What's your sign?" Gideon said.

"I want the Pines humiliated too, Gideon, that's why I looked for you." Lawrence smirked devilishly. "Oh, yeah. I know all about you, like the fact that Dipper Pines won't let you win poor Mabel's heart? That doesn't seem right or fair to me." Gideon was suspicious, but he heard him out. "Look, I want Pines out of the way, you want Pines out of the way. Together, he doesn't stand a chance in hell. I'm putting together a crew to take down the Pines so we can get whatever we want, do whatever we want, and whenever the fuck we want. Interested?"

Gideon was suspicious, but for now, he'll take up on this deal.

"I'm listening..." Gideon said, interested.

"But first, we're gonna have to get out of this dump, I'll help you escape, but you gotta listen to me..." Lawrence smiled.

Outside the Northwest Mansion, the Pines stopped at the Gate, Ford was hoping it wasn't too late.

"Alright. If we can just get this potion away from her, maybe I'll explain everything to the Northwests." Ford said.

"I don't know about that, dude." Soos said. "I mean they wanted us out of their party for a reason 2 nights ago."

"The man wants his privacy. I can respect that." Stan shrugs as he swings rope over gate. "Well, everyone over the fence."

"Stanley, is this really necessary? We could talk to them, right? I was well known back in the day as a brilliant scientist before..." Ford said.

"Before you got screwed up in the head," Stan said, offending Ford with that comment as he climbed the walls.

As soon as everyone else climbed the wall, they headed to the Northwest Mansion Front Door as quickly as they could. Ford banged on the door violently, like some murderer was chasing him and he was running for dear life.

"Northwest!" Ford said. "We need to talk to your wife!"

Preston answered the door with a stern attitude on his face, saying, "Pines, surely you had something to do with it."

"Nothing...?"

"Well, maybe I gave him the potion."

"That's all I needed to know!"

"It's been a while since I've been to this dimension, okay?!" Ford shouted, annoyed. "Now where's your wife?" He then thought, "He wasn't Bill, I made sure of that by asking a series of questions, I didn't know the boy could turn into water!"

"She was about to call you!" A voice said. They all turned their attention and saw one of the Child clones of Priscilla Northwest looking innocently at the Pines. Everyone was stunned to see her like this.

"What happened to Mom?!" Pacifica shrieked.

Ford felt a feeling of dread swarm his body as he said, "I forgot, it was experimental! I was all set to try to put the final touches to it, but me and Fiddleford got caught up with the portal and I locked it away in the mountain laboratory."

"What does that mean?" Dipper asks.

"It means the chemical is working too well, it's creating younger copies of her repeatedly." Ford said.

"No shit." Preston said, annoyed. "There's 30 of child versions of Priscilla in my house. I've already got a daughter to raise to perfection, sir."

"They must be set up as a way to distract you." Stan said, skeptical. "So Lawrence could get to Pacifica easier!"

"So is Lawrence a big jerk?" Child Priscilla #1 asks, concerned.

"A big creepy jerk!" Mabel said as Waddles landed next to her. The Child Northwest clone was surprised.

"Did that pig just fly?" Child Priscilla #1 said, surprised. "That's pretty cool!

"Thanks." Mabel smiled. Pacifica walked up to the younger clone of her Mother as the latter looked a little surprised.

"And who are you?" Child Priscilla asks.

"My name is Mabel!" Mabel smiled.

"That sounds like a fat old lady's name!" Child Priscilla #24 laughed.

Mabel glared, taking offense with that comment. Yep, she and Pacifica really are related. The original Priscilla walked up to all of the Pines with a confused and annoyed look on her face, saying, "I was about to call the Pines Boy to try to help out with fixing this problem!"

"Okay, just fill us up on context, Pacifica gave us the main details about this Lawrence guy, so, it wouldn't hurt to know more about this Off-Brand Hydro-Man." Wendy shrugged.

"He's one of the most misbehaved children in Gravity Falls." Priscilla said, cringing. "He and his family come from a long line of Miltary Members who served in wars."

"I think I may have been sent to Vietnam for a couple months..." Stan thought to himself.

"They're only the 2nd most famous family in Oregon," Preston said. "Glad they're not rich. But they haven't spoken to anyone other than their peers since Lawrence sent to military school because of his behavior."

"Behavior?" Soos asks. "So it wasn't just being him a jealous yandere?"

"What's a yandere?" Ford asks.

"We have much to discuss..." Soos nods, patting Ford on the back.

"No, he was a bully who acted like he could do whatever he wanted and acted entitled to do what he wanted to people." Preston said, scornfully. "At first, we thought he could be a good friend for Pacifica, considering befriending a NAVY family would heighten our reputation to Nationwide Standards. Bigger than Disney combined!"

"So they weren't as good as you thought?" Child Priscillas #1 and 24 asks.

"Unfortunately, their parents didn't keep their son on a leash, and he turned out to be a punk!" Priscilla said. "Don't take our word for it. Ask his friends, if they still remember the jerkass."

"And now, he seems to be using us as a way to lure Pacifica as bait!" Preston said. "But we can't have 30 Clones of my Wife roaming around in my mansion."

"We actually wanna meet the Pines, Ma'am, can we play with them?" Child Priscilla asks.

Priscilla looks at her younger selves. She then looks back to the Pines.

"Alright, girls, you can go play with them, but some of you need to get to know my daughter." Priscilla said as the rest of the Child Priscillas came downstairs. "I mean, our daughter."

"You have a daughter?" Child Priscilla #17 asks.

"No way!" Child Priscilla #30 smiled.

"This is fun!" Child Priscilla #4 said.

"Well, me and Stanley will talk to the Klerkson family, Preston will come with us." Ford said, adjusting his glasses.

"We take our car!" Preston said, sternly. "I can't seen in that Hovel!"

"HOVEL?!" Stan said, taking offense with a furious roar. "My car has been more reliable than you were at that part!"

"You obviously never knew what one's legacy could value!" Preston said, leaving them behind.

"Oh, that's fine, hambone," Soos said. "I'm great with kids!

"Just make sure they all behave." Preston said as he and his butler got in the car with Stan and Ford.
