SPOILER
I think that Jeeves/Howard/Chas has been handling Dupree very sensitively, but I agree he is not the one for Dupree to 'experiment' with. There is too much potential for pain on both sides.
I have to be honest, I haven't picked up on any attraction between Ennis and Dupree, but perhaps I'e not been very perceptive (or my memory is letting me down again). Ennis may have subconsciously admired Dupree's looks, but I don't for one moment believe that he has entertained any ideas about doing anything about it.
I feel for Dupree, it's like a rug has been pulled from under him. I think that Ennis is a good person for him to talk to (who's have thought that Ennis would ever have a conversation like that!!)
I agree about the fireworks last night. I couldn't see anything, but it was like the D-Day landings round where I live.

Oh and Charles Dance - leaves me cold!
