I skipped Headhunters because it would've been largely unchanged save for some minor dialogue changes and scene skips since it's quite a Dipper centeric episode and Mabel doesn't have the full episode knowledge. (Also, Dipper's gotta have some of that glory too.)
I'll just say that Mabel thinks Dipper's sneeze is the most adorable thing in the world and that she angrily insulted Blubs and Durly for not doing anything and arm wrestled with some bikers.

"The tiger was badly injured in the explosion. But we repaired him...with a fist!" Said an announcer on TV before the words 'Tiger Fist' appeared on the screen.
Seeing this, the twins and Soos cheered before a commercial started playing, starting with a few pigeons flying into the air.
"Hey, look! It's that commercial I was telling you guys about." Said Soos pointing at the screen.
It was about Gideon. A self proclaimed psychic who was making fun of Stan in his commerical while advertising that his abilities will make you happy.
All in all, Mabel wasn't impressed.
"Man, I haven't seen that much shamelessness before even from Stan." Said Mabel cheerfully as she wore a red flannel shirt with a black undershirt and black leggings as well as her shooting star necklace.
As if on que, Stan entered the room.with a deep frown on his face.
"Oh, he's more than shameless." Stan said as he entered the living room. "Ever since that monster Gideon rolled into town, I've had nothing but trouble."
"Can't you just sue him for a lot of money for using your face without permission?" Asked Mabel raising a brow.
"You can do that?" Asked Stan in surprise and Mabel nodded quickly.
Immediately, Stan began only seeing money as he imagined himself bankrupting Gideon. He was so immersed in his thoughts, he didn't notice Dipper calling for him.
"-kle Stan, GRUNKLE STAN!" Yelled Dipper before Stan finally woke up from his trance. "Before you try to ruin Gideon financially, Is he actually a psychic?"
Stan paused before bursting into laughter.
"Oh, oh. Oh no. Him?" Said Stan wiping a tear while laughing as he walked away. "Hahahaha!"
Dipper and Mabel stared at him with an odd look before he was completely out of hearing range.
"We should go and check." Said Dipper cheerfully.
"I don't know, Dipper. I have a major bad feeling about this Gideon." Replied Mabel with a frown as she tried to remember Gideon and only coming out with alarms in her head
Dipper frowned for a second before a thought popped into his head.
"Wait. Bad feeling?" Said Dipper before his twin raised a brow. "You don't think maybe Gideon has something to do with your lost memories?"
Mabel went silent, uncomfortable talking about this particular subject with her twin. Something he quickly misunderstood despite being right.
"Now we HAVE to go and find out. C'mon!"
Before Mabel could protest, Dipper dragged her with him as he began running to Gideon's tent of telepathy with Soos following right after. And none of them heard the end of the commercial.
"So come down here, folks. Gideon's expecting ya."

"Step right up there, folks. Put your money in Gideon's psychic sack!" Said a man outside Gideon's tent of telepathy, holding a sack much like one Stan uses to scam people of their money.
The twins and Soos ignored that and headed inside the tent to see that it looked much like the mystery shack, but slightly different.
"Whoa, this is like a bizarro version of the Mystery Shack. They even have their own Soos." Said Dipper pointing towards a worker that looked too much like Soos with a name tag that says 'Deuce'.
Soos immediately began glaring at his lookalike and Mabel was having it.
"There can only be ONE, my dark pupil." Whispered Mabel in her best evil voice leaning over Soos's shoulder. "Slay him."
Soos nodded with a serious expression glaring at Deuce before Dipper cut in.
"Mabel, stop whispering evil thoughts into Soos's ear." He said nonchalantly, causing Mabel to blow a raspberry before the whole group sat down in their seats.
And a few moments later, the show started and soon they saw the face of Gideon.
"Let's see what this monster looks like." Said Dipper calmly as he waited for the curtains to open.
And when they did, they couldn't hide their surprise.
"Hello America! My name is Li'l Gideon." It was a tiny, chubby white haired 10 year old.
Mabel knew he was a threat, but that wasn't able to stop her from bursting into laughter at the anticlimactic appearance.
Everyone turned to Mabel in awkward silence, causing her to stop laughing.
"Pfft, sorry sorry." She apologized holding in her laughter.
"I don't blame you for laughing. That's Stan's mortal enemy?" Dipper whispered among the awkwardness before Gideon broke the ice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is such a gift to have you here tonight!...such a gift. I have a vision. I predict you will soon all say, 'aww'."
The moment he finished his sentence he made a cute face which caused most of the audience to say "Aww".
"What? I'm not impres-" Dipper couldn't finish one sentence before Mabel broke into laughter once more.
"S-sorry, sorry, pfft. Hahaha!" She said in between laughs. "I-i'll just go." She said as she got up.
But before she could leave the tent, Gideon cut in and stopped her.
"Now hold on there, there's nothing wrong with having a kindered spirit." He said cheerfully. "How about you come up and play us a little song on the piano for us?"
Mabel shrugged before getting up and walking to the piano just off stage. Mabel immediately began playing a cheery song on the piano without any que from Gideon, surprising him with the fact that she can play the piano and play it so well. She could faintly hear him say "enchanting, utterly enchanting."
Mabel quickly realized she got carried away and it might've been a mistake to attract this much attention with Gideon around and decided to leave asap.
"Sorry, everyone. That's all the time I got. Don't wait for next time cause I'm a one hit wonder or whatever. Byeee!"
And with that, she left Soos and Dipper to watch the rest of the show as she waited outside.

The next day, at the mystery shack
"So all he did was just say some very obvious things about the audience?" Asked Mabel raising a brow. "That's lame."
"Yeah, it was like predicting what you'll wear tomorrow." Said Dipper cheerfully. "I sense something...and black leggings!"
The twins immediately broke into laughter at the joke.
"Seriously, though, you have at least 14 pairs in your wardrobe." Said Dipper with a smile.
"I'll make it 15." Replied Mabel with a cheeky smile, half joking.
As the twins joked around in the shack, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"I'll get it." Said Mabel dashing to the door and opening to it reveal the visitor.
"Howdy!" It was Gideon "Mabel, right?"
"Oh, it's you."
"I know we haven't formally met, but after yesterday's performance, I just couldn't get your laugh out of my head." Said Gideon happily.
"I'm...flattered?" Replied Mabel not know how she should feel about this.
"Who's at the door?" Yelled Stan from inside the shack.
"No one, Grunkle Stan!" Mabel yelled back.
"I appreciate your discretion. Now, Stan's no fan of mine. I don't know how a lemon so sour could be related to a peach so sweet."
Mabel could only frown as she was quite fond of Stan. She contemplated kicking Gideon into the ground, but the fact that he was ten would leave a bitter taste in her mouth.
"What do you say we step away from here and chat a bit more? Perhaps in my dressing room?" Asked Gideon with a smile.
Mabel quickly flashed a bright smile. "Really?"
"Yup." Said Gideon proudly.
There was only one thing she could do when offered a visit to a complete stranger's dressing room.
SLAM*
Slam the door in their face without hesitation,. leaving them completely flabbergasted by what just happened.
"Who was that?" Asked Dipper curiously.
"Gideon. He was offering a visit to his dressing room." Replied Mabel calmly as she wiped hands with each other. "No way I'm doing that."
"You think he's fallen in love with you?" Asked Dipper raising a brow.
"I hope not." Shrugged Mabel with a frown. "That would be uncomfortable."
Gideon had, in fact, fallen in love with Mabel.
