The IT Crowd season 2 episode 6, "Men Without Women," centers around the IT department at Reynholm Industries once again. In this episode, Jen is tasked with organizing the upcoming company event but is struggling to find suitable entertainment. After consulting with Roy and Moss, they decide to hire a stripper for the event.

The decision to hire a stripper proves to be disastrous as they mistakenly hire a group of male strippers instead of a female one. Meanwhile, Roy finds himself in a predicament when he inadvertently lies to an attractive woman he met at the event about his occupation. She believes he is a member of management, and Roy doesn't dare to correct her as he has become smitten with her.

Moss, on the other hand, finds himself attending the event with a group of middle-aged men who are part of a networking group for single men. Moss is thrilled to be surrounded by like-minded individuals until he realizes they are all desperately seeking women. As he tries to extract himself from the situation, Moss gets in over his head and finds himself in a compromising position.
