Mabel runs downstairs, putting on her purple cat sweater when the doorbell rang. "Coming!"

She opened it, revealing Norman. "Hey Norman. How do I look?" She pulls her sweater down to show it to him in its full glory.

Norman shrugged. "Shiny."

Mabel scoffs. "You always know what to say!"

They held hands and walked off into the woods.

Back in the house, Dipper and Lucianna watched as they left. Dipper lays against Stan's chair as he held up the video camera. "Soos is right. We don't have any real evidence.

[footage in the camera showing Mabel and Norman playing hopscotch but Norman falls down before even taking a step]

"Maybe you're being too paranoid. Norman seems like a nice guy, despite falling every two seconds..." Lucianna says as she sits at the small table nearby, reading the pages of the journal.

Dipper plays another video. "I guess I can be kind of paranoid sometimes, and...-."

[Footage shows Mabel and Norman putting an arm around each other, however, Norman's hand falls off onto the ground. He carefully picks it up and places it back on his wrist]

"WAIT WHAT?!" Dipper exclaims.

Just as Lucianna was about to read a page filled with red and panicked writing about a triangle, she looks up at Dipper's cry.

"What is it Dipper? Find something?" She stands up and walks over to Dipper.

Dipper rewinds the footage for his older sister. After watching what had unveiled, Lucianna places a shaky hand over her mouth. "Oh my god. You were right!..."

"I-I was right?! Oh my-." Dipper stories to stand but accidentally causes the chair to fall backwards.

"Dipper!" Lucianna grabs his arm and picks him up.

"No time! We gotta go save Mabel!" Lucianna drags him out the door with her.

"Oh my god, oh my god! W-we should tell Grunkle Stan. Grunkle Stan! Grunkle Stan!" Dipper shouts as his feet began working and running alongside his sister so she didn't have to drag him along anymore.

"And here we have 'rock that looks like a face' rock. The rock that looks like a face." Stan presents to the tourists.

A tourist raises his hand. "Does it look like a rock?"

"No, it looks like a face."

Another tourist speaks up. "Is it a face?"

"It's a rock that Looks like a face." Stan grits his teeth in anger, trying to compose himself.

"Over here! Grunkle Stan!" Dipper pants and jumps to try and get his uncle's attention.
