[[caption-width-right:350:''"Linda, there are animal anuses all over my walls!"'']]

Linda forces Bob to accept putting Gayle's paintings in the walls, even though she is making a series of animal anus paintings, but it develops when Bob and the chairwoman of Art Crawl, Edith fight over his right to have those paintings in the first place. Meanwhile, Louise tries to make money during the art crawl by selling homemade paintings.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Louise's actions and words towards the twins and Devon Michin make it looks like she is their pimp.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Edith isn't a fan of the Belcher kids but she still accepts Tina and Gene into her art class because according to her "the store is open to anyone who respects art."

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Linda doesn't confess to the vandalism until after Bob is facing arrest for retaliating. Had she said something sooner, the entire second act could've been avoided.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Gayle seems to have some sort of disorder that makes very hard for her to socialize properly or deal with certain things; Gene and Louise even think she should be a mental patient. It is somewhat confirmed as she is better in her next appearance and mentions changing meds.

* ForcedCreativity: Louise does this twice. First with her siblings but when they fail to reach her standards, she gets the Pesto Twins and another classmate named Devon Michin as her artists. She treats them like slaves while pocketing all the money.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Louise's actions and words towards the twins and her new associate make it looks like she is their pimp.

** Implied with Devin [=McJim=], the red-headed kid who Louise forces to make paintings alongside Andy and Ollie; unlike the twins, Devin is nowhere to be seen during [[SomethingWeForgot the ending]], implying he eventually got tired of painting and went home.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Devin [=McJim=], the third kid Louise gets to make paintings for her, completely vanishes during the ending with no in-story explanation.

** Even though Harold really needs the water, Edith refuses to accept Bob's water.

* YouDoNotWantToKnow: Louise offers to help settle her father's debt with some of the money she made selling Andy and Ollie's paintings. When Bob asks her where she got all that money, Louise just tells him he doesn't want to know.
