From Jonathan's tireless band teacher to a devoted Chicana arts organizer, this season focuses on community leaders who give everything to their loved ones, but not as much to themselves. While we recommend watching every last and gorgeous minute of the series' fourth installation, there are especially memorable, emotional moments that you won't want to miss. It's definitely hard to pick out our absolute favorite episodes, but we've managed to pull it off. So without further ado, here's our definitive list of the best episodes from season four of Queer Eye!

Episode 1: Without Further Ado

Here, Jonathan visits his former high school music teacher, Kathi Dooley, in Quincy, IL. As the person who runs the high school music departments in all of Quincy, Ms. Dooley doesn't take much time for herself since she's usually at school until late at night, and she gets her basic outfits from home shopping channels. The Fab Five come in and zhuzh up Ms. Dooley for an annual fundraiser at Oktoberfest, implementing long-lasting changes to her style and environment along the way. Anyway, this is an inspiring addition to season four that sheds a light on how hard public school teachers work. Plus, Jonathan gets to pay tribute to the woman who accepted and celebrated his talent way back when.

Episode 2: Disabled But Not Really

A Kansas City resident, Wesley Hamilton became paralyzed from the waist down after getting shot at age 24. Now, he's a father and leads an organization called Disabled But Not Really. The best part of the episode is how Wesley constantly radiates with positivity as the Queer Eye crew helps prep him for an event for his nonprofit. While he acknowledges that life with a wheelchair can be difficult, he also mentions how it's changed him for the better in other ways. The episode doesn't shy away from intense emotional moments, especially in a scene where Karamo sets up a talk between Wesley and the man who shot him.

Episode 5: On Golden Kenny

Kenny Yarnevich's gentle story is one that's worthy of a poignant indie drama. The single 64-year-old has lived in the same house pretty much his entire life and now must get ready for a family reunion. Experiencing the loss of his parents and dog over the years, Kenny has lived alone for a while and kept everything as his folks had it. While he saw himself as a failure, the Fab Five remind Kenny how involved he has been in his Croatian and church community. Kenny also has an affable childlike wonder that makes this episode especially sweet beyond his touching backstory. Plus, puppies! (For more puppy content, you'll want to see the Fab Five's recent doggie makeover.)

Episode 6: A Tale of Two Cultures

Deanna Munoz is a second generation Mexican-American with a heart of gold, emerging as a hardworking mother and true community leader. While she doesn't speak Spanish and worries about not being able to cook Mexican food, she's very proud of her Chicana heritage, organizing a Latino Arts Festival in Kansas City every year. Still, Deanna feels insecure about how others perceive her — that she isn't Mexican or American enough wherever she goes. The Fab Five help her pull together a professional presence so that she can pursue her dream of working on a Latino arts foundation. And the dream happens — Bobby sets up a space across city hall for her to lead the organization.
