Added DiffLines:

*LimitedWardrobe: Pretty much the only episode where Gayle averts this; depicting her in a pink shirt instead of her usual purple shirt. She also lets her hair down, and overall these changes make her look a lot more like her sister (with the pink shirt being closer to Linda's red shirt). This is all intentional, as it makes it much more plausible that a drugged-up Bob would confuse Gayle for Linda.

While still tripping on anesthetic after a trip to the dentist, Bob mistakes his sister-in-law Gayle for Linda and kisses her. Gayle becomes convinced they are now having an affair, and while Linda tells Bob to keep it going to give Gayle an ego boost, Bob tries to set her up with the family's playboy dentist Dr. Yap.

Meanwhile, Tina tries to make Dr. Yap fall for her using the techniques of the Prince of Persuasia, and Louise and Gene compete for a jawbreaker in several crazy contests.
