Sterling is actually Bob's distant cousin, whom he decided to visit to get away from his troubles. But when he visited the restaurant, he was told that Teddy forced Bob to help him take care of his senile grandmother which (Because of a series of wacky incidents) ended up with Bob and Teddy stuck there for months with no way to contact home (An episode for another day). Archer a few days later after leaving Bob's city, ran into the KGB in which he won the fight but suffered a head wound, he then thought he literally was Bob, returned to the restaurant and took over his life, with [[TheDitz Linda]] none the wiser. The kids knew he wasn't their father which scared them (Louise not so much) this made Gene and Tina very uncomfortable and nervous, thinking that this doppleganger most likely killed their father, that they refused to talk. Louise joined in too but just to creep people out. Once Archer!Bob left, Linda finally realized he wasn't really Bob, but she couldn't accept the fact that the real Bob was most likely dead, and refused to admit that to the police. So she made up a story about Bob being a step-dad marrying her around the same time Archer!Bob arrived.

Just like Gene looks like his dad at his age, Louise probably takes after her mother as far as her physical appearance is concerned. There are really only so many ways that her hair can meet under her hat, after all, and it looks like it probably comes together in the same way as Linda's. Other than Louise having a hat and pigtails, they're pretty similar looking.

It doesn't seem to bother him to much as he never mentioned him before even relating to the topic of Linda's parents, likely one of his parents died when he was very young and the other parent died a few years after college or so (or even during and Bob dropped out to deal with grief).

[[WMG: The ''Bob's Burgers'' series was just a figment of Archer's imagination]]
* If Archer had only known Linda and the kids, married Linda and worked at the restaurant long enough to have grown tired of the 18-hour shifts, then odds are all the crazy stuff that's happened in ''Bob's Burgers'' might just be a mix of sleep deprivation and PTSD all occurring in Archer's head.

[[WMG: Tina is the author, writing of her childhood]]
Evidence in favor of the thesis:
* Most episodes are framed by events specific to Tina: Her last Halloween, her last Fireside Girl event, her various crushes, etc.
* Tina is the character who gives voice to observations that go unheard, because she is only thinking these things years later.
* The characters of Tina's one and a half sisters are especially distorted because she is projecting back onto their childhoods attributes they will only really have years later.
