Jenna and Angela were speaking about the episode Hot Girl, where Katy Moore was introduced to the audience. The duo began addressing the fan theory about the character, as Jenna was heard saying:

“There is a lot of chatter of people thinking that maybe Jim purposely wanted Katie to call him at work through Pam.”

Angela responded by saying that Jim’s actions were possibly aimed at making Pam jealous. Fischer then recalled that she saw a draft for the scene where Jim was supposed to be talking on the phone and Katy would be in front of him, following which he would say that his cell phone battery had died, telling Moore to call him at work.

Jenna said that Katy Moore then contacts reception, and the call gets “clipped off.” However, Fischer also mentioned that she does not believe the fact that Jim was trying to pretend that his cell phone was not working, and Kinsey responds by saying that none of the characters in the episode were doing anything “manipulative” as a result of jealousy.

Jim and Katy’s relationship did not exist for a long time on the show. The duo met when Katy arrived in Jim’s office, and they separated at the booze cruise after Jim realized that Moore could never take Pam’s position in his life.
