I definitely take The Ties That Bind as a forever kinda thing, particularly with Jeeves destroying Bertie's section in the club book. One doesn't violate the sacred trust of the Junior Ganymede lightly! The implication was certainly that Bertie would never need another valet and that Jeeves was signing on permanently.
THIS! This so much. I mean, Jeeves has always done his level best to stay within Bertie's atmosphere. Even when they had that unfortunate misunderstanding re: the banjolele, Jeeves went with Chuffy. And you will never, ever convince me that Jeeves didn't know that Bertie wasn't going to rent that cottage from Chuffy and manoeuvre his way into that situation so that he could stay around Bertie. Plus, even while he was Chuffy's servant, he spent more time with Bertie than with anyone else. (Sorry, I think I'm infesting this thread with my own head canon... I'll just biff off toward the lurker shadows now...)
