jeeves and wooster: series 4 episodes ranked by gayness (I am finally free)
4x1 (Return to New York): bertie wants to marry a painter named gwladys (yes that is her name) and I don't even remember why or how they met or anything. is it even explained?? that whole plot lasts about five minutes before she gets engaged to someone else. also remember a few lists ago when I was like "imagine these disasters trying to raise a child" well now you don't have to imagine because in this episode they briefly kidnap a toddler, which is like. fine because they return it eventually. bertie and jeeves are cringe and fail parents love them tho. 6.9/10 (nice) on the gay scale (sometimes I'm like wtf these people talking about jeeves literally isn't that camp??? but then I watch episodes like this and I'm like oh yeah... he is)
Tumblr media
4x2 (The Once and Future Ex): this episode literally begins with bertie insisting on buying jeeves a birthday present. the whole exchange is very married and very serotonin. it takes place over the fourth of july and they're in america which is like. ew lol but there's a costume party and idk what jeeves dresses up as but he looks fantastic. fashion legend I love you. some people have said they think jeeves allows bertie to suffer too much in this episode so it seems really out of character, which I basically agree with. we all know jeeves is a drama hoe but this was a Lot... 6/10 on gay scale (let's not even act like jeeves' costume isn't dope as hell)
Tumblr media
4x3 (Honoria Glossop Turns Up): so many subplots.. so many.. even more than usual for a show that runs 55 minute episodes... BUT there's another mustache quarrel between bertie and jeeves. bertie literally admits he grows one "to show who the bally master is" and jeeves is like "oh I trust there was never any doubt about that sir 👀" like um??? what exactly is going on here. bertie and jeeves jump off the side of a cruise ship in an act of married stupidity and spend eight months getting back to london. I don't even care that it's weird and slapstick since the potential is There. 8.2/10 on gay scale. my one complaint is why didn't jeeves beat the shit out of the thugs on the boat. (honoria my wife is back and looking more beautiful than ever so +1 point)
Tumblr media
4x4 (The Delayed Arrival): I don't remember what happens in this episode but bertie and jeeves both dress in drag and I'm not even gonna pretend stephen fry doesn't look fantastic. that alone is a solid 7.7/10 on the gay scale (also I think I need to mention that aunt dahlia knocks a man out cold with a vase like lmao queen!)
Tumblr media
4x5 (Trouble at Totleigh Towers): another classic episode, I heard it was originally going to be the last episode but then they just, decided to tack another on one for some reason? I'm not even mad about it or anything, both of them are so good. this episode and the next one put a lot of characters that we haven't seen interact in one big countryhouse and the madness is almost too much to handle. full of vegetarian shaming and fake identity assuming. at the end of the episode they all sing together and it's Nice. all loose ends are tied up. 7/10 on the gay scale (jeeves sings too.. like not how he did in the first episode but he Actually sings with bertie and everyone else and that alone cured my depression)
Tumblr media
4x6 (The Ties That Bind): oh, did I say all loose ends were tied up? just kidding. lets untie them all again. this may or may not be the absolute peak of bertie and jeeves' marriage. sure, it's less bold than past episodes but they're so familiar and comfortable together it makes me do a :'). bertie gets engaged to two women at once, madeline and florence, which is a new record for him. honestly I think madeline and florence should have eloped but whatever. that brinkley bitch returns to cause some trouble and spends the whole episode calling jeeves "reggie" which is meant to be vaguely threatening but also like.. that's my name so. I approve. 9.6/10 on the gay scale (bertie and jeeves have defeated the enemy known as heterosexuality. in fact they are chased widdershins around a church by a group of angry heterosexuals. did they run hand in hand into the sunset? yes. mr wodehouse came to me in a dream and told me this himself)
