[There’s a lot here to pull apart, so the response takes some time to come back to him. It’s hard because Dipper’s instinct is to be cagey about it, but he explicitly sent these messages out because he owed them an explanation. It’s hard to weigh between keeping his family’s business on the down low verses being honest with his friends. Being honest and risking backlash.]

Bill needed into Grunkle Ford’s mind for something specific, when he’s in your mind, he doesn’t have a physical form and he’s technically vulnerable. We had a device that could erase memories, but it didn’t work on Ford because of a metal plate in his head. So ...Grunkle Stan impersonated him instead, tricked Bill into his mind and then we had to. We had to erase them both.
