Roy and Moss are working late at the office when Jen comes in excited about her upcoming 30th birthday. As Jen's aunt Irma is coming to visit, she asks Roy and Moss to act normal around her and not talk about any sensitive topics. After Jen leaves, Moss reveals to Roy that "Aunt Irma" is a term that women use to refer to their menstrual cycle and that Jen is likely on her period.

The next day, Jen's Aunt Irma arrives and causes chaos for the IT department. She is loud and demanding, insisting on using her outdated laptop and needing constant attention. Meanwhile, Roy and Moss are dealing with technical issues with the company's emergency phone system. When Jen tries to ask for their help, they are unable to focus and keep getting sidetracked by Aunt Irma's antics.

As the day progresses, Aunt Irma's behavior becomes more erratic and she begins to act out. She goes into a rage when she finds out that Jen had promised her cake for her visit but forgot to buy one. Jen, Roy, and Moss try to distract her by taking her out for a drink, but things go wrong when Aunt Irma gets drunk and starts singing loudly in the pub. They are eventually kicked out, but Aunt Irma continues to cause havoc back at the office by eating everyone's lunch and even breaking one of the computer monitors.

Roy and Moss finally manage to fix the phone system and call the emergency services to report the broken monitor. However, Aunt Irma steps in and takes over the call, telling the operator that there is a fire in the building. The fire brigade arrives and proceeds to break down the office door with an axe, causing chaos and destroying the IT department.

In the aftermath, Jen tries to blame Aunt Irma for the chaos, but Roy and Moss take responsibility for not being able to focus on their work. Aunt Irma eventually leaves, but not before giving Jen some unconventional birthday gifts.

Overall, "Aunt Irma Visits" is a hilarious episode that showcases the absurdity of office life and the challenges of dealing with difficult family members. The episode also touches on themes of gender, menstruation, and the expectations placed on women to hide their bodily functions. With its witty writing and stellar performances by the cast, this episode is sure to leave audiences laughing out loud.
