yknow what i didn't realize until like literally yesterday? that the reason Bill put Mabel in the prison bubble was to fulfill the verbal contract he made with her when he was possessing Blandin (give Bill the rift and he'll make a "time bubble" for her).

i always figured it was just so he could prevent her from meddling once weirdmageddon started, since she would be important in being able to stop it, but when i think about it like why did he have to be so nice to her? he could've just petrified her and put her in the sad human statue chair.
