The episode begins with the twins eating Corncornos inside Stan's car. Stan is honking the horn and Mery was listening to music from her earphones in the passenger seat while Mabel attached nachos from her chip bag to her ears.
Mabel: Ha-ha! Nacho earrings. I'm hilarious!
Stan: That's debatable. Aw, come on, what's with all this traffic? And why is it all... Covered wagons?
Mery's eyes widened after hearing that.
Mery: ( beep ).
Stan: Oh no! No! No! ( Pushes gas pedal ) Not today! Not today!
A few women gasp in the presence of him nearly running them over. Stan backs up, and began to drive the car backwards.
Dipper: Grunkle Stan, Mery, what's going on?
Mery: The death of happiness.
Stan: We gotta get outta here. Before it's too late! ( Sees that his car is trapped between a group of covered wagons ) They've circled the wagons! We're trapped! Nooooooooo!
Mabel: ( looks outside her window and sees a cow ) I've got a good feeling about today.
The twins, Stan, and Mery get out of the car and walk around an old fashioned looking main street.
Dipper: Man. Look at the town.
Dipper holds a post card up for a second. When he lowers it, the town is a sepia shade, but it is just due to a pane of dirty glass.
Worker: ( walking by, holding one end of the pane of dirty glass ) Dirty glass. We got dirty glass! Dirty glass.
Stan: Ah, boy. It's Pioneer Day. Every year these yahoos dress up like idiots to celebrate the day Gravity falls was founded.
Toby Determined: Welcome to 1863!
Mery: I will break you, little man!
Toby screamed and runs away, then he crashes into a barrel.
Stan: That's my girl. ( He said with a proud smile )
Cuts to a view of people doing various activities, panning right. People doing candle dipping.
Mabel: Wow! Look! Candle dipping!
People doing gold panning. Old Man McGucket, who is also gold panning, can be heard in the background, saying " Gold! "
Dipper: Whoa, gold panning!
Mery: It's nice seeing McGucket havin' fun.
Priest: ( To a man and a woodpecker: ) I now pronounce you man and wife
The woodpecker pecks her husband's hand.
Woodpecker guy: I do!
Mabel: What chu talking 'bout?
Dipper: Oh yeah. I remember this. ( Takes the journal out ) In Gravity Falls it used to be legal to marry woodpeckers.
Mery: Oh. It's still legal. ( She said blankly )
Woodpecker guy: Very legal. ( Walks away as the announcer speaks up )
Announcer: Come one and all for the opening ceremonies!
Mabel: Grunkle Stan, Mery, you coming?
Mery: Sorry, guys, but no. I rather just go be somewhere else...
Stan: Just remember if you come back to the shack talking like these people, you're dead to us.
Dipper: There's a carpetbagger in the turnip cellar!
Mery starts walking away from the Pines family with a blank expression. Mery walked far away enough from the crowd as they gather for the opening ceremonies, but she could still see Pacifica on stage talking. Mery sighed sadly but then someone covered her eyes from behind.
Bill: Guess who...
Mery: Soos? ( She said jokingly )
Bill uncovers her eyes and walked in front of her.
Bill: Do I look or sound like a 22 year old man?
Mery: Mmmaaayybe. ( She said playfully )
Bill: Why you... Come here!
Mery laughed as Bill pulled her into a hug.
Bill: So, what's got ya blue?
Mery: Don't worry about it... It's probably nothing... ( She said with a sad smile )
Bill knew something was obviously bothering Mery, but he didn't push her.

What do you think what it is about Pioneer Day is bothering Mery?
Till next time my agents of mischief 😜
