Bob covers for Dr. Frank Walburn (Roger Perry, who was Tom Blaine in Gidget Gets Married).  His secretary is Miss Brennan, who was one of Carol's possible fill-ins, and I have to say that Teri Garr looks more stunning than ever (a combination of her hair and her outfits), and she of course takes the "dumb blonde" character to a whole other level.  But the episode is mostly about Jerry's crush on Emily, and the Patchett and Tarses script handles this with the class and gentle humor I've come to expect from this series.
