"She was your first girlfriend and you didn't get any closure! Dipper, that's awful! If I hadn't gotten to say good-bye to Mermando -"
Heck, she DID get to say good-bye, and she STILL wanted to erase her failed summer romance memories by the end of the season!
" - I'd be so upset, too. I wish I could bring her back right now -"
But she can't do that. She can't snatch anybody out of time. Just like she couldn't stop herself from being snatched out of time the last time she was here to attempt (and by extension, fail) to be a superhero.
" - I can't bring her here, but I can do this," she says, pulling out her stickerbook. How that fit under her turtleneck is a mystery nobody is in any state to question, let alone answer, as Mabel rifles through and selects the perfect sticker - a luminous, neon blue-green frog giving a thumbs-up, with the caption "It'll (probably) be okay!"
She breathes her intention into the sticker, and holds it out. "I can help you calm down, do you want to calm down?"
She'd slap a mood-altering sticker on an enemy in the heat of the moment, no question - but Dipper has the right to ask for help, not just have a shot of seratonin foisted upon him.
