OK, OK, OK, I forgot to spend all day rewatching that episode, sorry. :-)

However...

Bob could still be Gerard's friend, who *is* a veterinarian, who *does* live
around those parts, but is NOT the Dr. Lydecker who runs the clinic.  (As I
said, brother, father, etc.)  A friend of mine just said to me last night that
he recalled the scene where the receptionist at the clinic is aksed to identify
the man in the picture.  According to his recollection, her answer is cut
short, or she is not allowed to finish, and/or her inflection indicated
something on the order of "No, that's not *Dr.* Lydecker..." [but... ???].

It's little things like that, you know.
