Dipper, Mabel, Soos, and I were watching television.

TV Narrator: The tiger was badly injured in the explosion, but we repaired him with a fist.

Dipper, Mabel, and Soos start cheering and Dipper says that the tiger's a hero. On TV, the tiger punches itself.

TV Narrator: Tiger Fist! ...will return after these messages.

Soos Ramirez: Hey, look. It's that commercial I was telling you guys about.

???: (Voice-over:) Are you completely miserable?

Actor: (While crying:) YES!

???: (Voice-over:) Then you need to meet (In a whisper:) Gideon.

Dipper Pines: Gideon?

Mabel Pines: What makes him so special?

???: (Voice-over:) He's a psychic.

Mabel: Aroo?

???: (Voice-over:) So don't waste your time with other so-called "men of mystery."

The screen showed a clip of Stan coming out of an outhouse and is stamped with the word "FRAUD."

???: (Voice-over:) Learn about tomorrow tonight at Gideon's Tent of Telepathy. (Speeding through subtext for commercial:) Voidwhereprohibited,noC.O.D.'saccepted.CarlaI'vealwayslovedyoubutneverhadthegutstosayit.

Mabel: Wow, I'm getting all curiousy inside!

Stan: (Walks in) Well, don't get too curiousy. Ever since that monster Gideon rolled into town, I've had nothin' but trouble.

{Flashback}

Grunkle Stan was driving in a parking lot. He spoted an open parking spot and attempted to back in, but Gideon's tour bus pulled in first.

Stan: (Makes a fist) Gideon!

{Flashback end}

Mabel: Well, is he really psychic?

Dipper: I think we should go and find out.

Stan: Never! You're forbidden from patronizing the competition. No one that lives under my roof is allowed under that Gideon's roof!

Dipper: Do tents have roofs?

Mabel: I think we just found our loophole... literally! (Holds up a string with a loop in it) Mwop mwop!

Cut back to TV.

???: (Voice-over:) So come down soon, folks. Gideon is expecting you.

{timeskip}

A crowd was entering the Tent of Telepathy. ??? stands at the entrance with a sack.

???: Step right up there, folks. Put your money in Gideon's psychic sack.

Crowd muttered several positive things about the sack's credibility.

Dipper: Whoa, this is like a bizarro version of the Mystery Shack. They even have their own Soos.

Dipper pointed to a maintenance worker who looks very similar to Soos, named Deuce. Soos glared at the lookalike while munching on an empanada.

Mabel: It's starting! It's starting!

Dipper: Let's see what this monster looks like.

Curtains opened and Gideon appeared on the stage.

Gideon: Hello America! My name is Li'l Gideon.

Gideon claped and doves flew out of his hair. The crowd cheered.
