"The Pickleorette" is a pretty humorous episode. It was especially great to see Gayle return after her absence from season thirteen. I also loved Bob's little predicament throughout, which I won't give away, but it was honestly pretty adorable as well as hilarious. The only weak link for me was the board game plot, which wasn't bad or annoying. It just didn't feel like much was accomplished. Aside from that, "The Pickleorette" delivers an ample number of funny and endearing moments. It doesn't measure up to "The Amazing Rudy" in terms of heart, but I would argue that it does contain more laughs. It's a solid episode. Not the best, but just that good old-fashioned Bob's Burgers-style comfort food.

It's watchable...

Gretchen is a genuinely funny character, but like most supporting characters, she needs to be used in very specific ways. It's not that it's necessarily a bad thing that she's so prominent in this episode, but they leaned in a little too hard and she comes off quite annoying. And of course there is a sappy moral "lesson" thrown in at the end, because that's apparently now required. The end result is that the first episode of the season to have a potentially interesting premise is undone by the rest of its bad qualities.
At least it's watchable, which is more than I can say for the two episodes that came before it. I have watched episodes such as "Burger Boss" more times than I care to admit, but I doubt I'll ever re-watch this one.
