History Main / GenderSeparatedEnsembleEpisode

* Like the ''Farscape'' example, ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' split the genders over two different episodes, called "The Girls' Night Out Job" and "The Boys' Night Out Job".

* ''SuperSentai'' has one every year, often involving a female MonsterOfTheWeek who kidnaps the boys on the team or incapacitates them in some way, leaving the girls to rescue them.
* ''DawsonsCreek'' had some episodes like this. One that comes to mind is "Road Trip," where Dawson and Pacey go into the city to hit on girls and Joey and Jen deal with a rumor a jock started about Joey.
* ''TheSarahConnorChronicles'' had the one where John & Derek go to a military school to protect Martin Bledell while Sarah & Cameron stay behind to protect a child also name Martin Bledell.

* Every so often, ''TheSimpsons'' has an episode where Bart and Homer are off together on a caper. As a result, the subplot has Marge and Lisa (and occasionally Maggie) dealing with something else. There doesn't appear to be an episode where this is reversed; if the main plot is about Lisa or Marge, then the guys just sort of hang around.

* When ''KimPossible'' and her {{sidekick}} Ron get TrappedInTVLand with their [[ArchEnemy arch-enemies]], they quickly get divided by gender lines - Kim with Shego, and Ron with Dr. Drakken.

* ''NaturallySadie'': Rain would often be paired up with Sadie's brother Hal or one of the male supporting characters for a 'boy's adventure' while Sadie and Margaret where involved in a female plot.

* Happened in the episode of ''Series/That 70s Show'' when the boys went to Canada (including Leo) while Jackie convinced Donna to come with her to a modelling try-out.

* When ''KimPossible'' and her {{sidekick}} Ron get TrappedInTVLand with their [[ArchEnemy arch-enemies]], they quickly get divided by gender lines - Kim with Shego, and Ron with Dr. Drakken.

* In the '{{'Warehouse 13}}'' episode For the Team, Myka and Claudia go off to hunt an artifact and are joined by (the female) H. G. Wells, while meanwhile Artie and Pete stay back at the Warehouse.

* In the {{''Warehouse 13''}} episode For the Team, Myka and Claudia go off to hunt an artifact and are joined by (the female) H. G. Wells, while meanwhile Artie and Pete stay back at the Warehouse.

* In the ''Warehouse 13'' episode For the Team, Myka and Claudia go off to hunt an artifact and are joined by (the female) H. G. Wells, while meanwhile Artie and Pete stay back at the Warehouse.

* A season one episode of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' has the guys go to a hockey game, and the girls spying on George Stephonalopus.

* ''LizzieMcGuire'', particularly in an episode where Lizzie and Miranda goes to buy bras as the A-plot, whilst Gordo hangs back to help Lizzie's little brother Matt and Mr. [=McGuire=] make a martial arts film as the B-plot.
* ''ThatsSoRaven'': Most of the time, while Raven and Chelsea were off doing some disguise adventure, Eddie was the the occasional big brother figure to Raven's brother Corey or the other son to Raven's Dad.

* ''HannahMontana'': Miley and Lily were almost always together while Oliver often ended up paired with either Jackson or Rico.
* A season one episode of ''{{Friends}}'' has the guys go to a hockey game, and the girls spying on George Stephonalopus.
* There are a few episodes which follow this for ''{{iCarly}}'':

** iCarly: "[=iTake=] On Dingo" started with Spencer, Carly, Sam and Freddie all heading to the Dingo studio because they were ripping off their webshow. Once there, Freddie and Spencer split up to find the frozen severed head of Charles Dingo, whilst Sam and Carly beat up tv writers with a sock full of butter. Their stories came back together in the end, but it probably counts.
* Happened in the episode of ''{{That 70s Show}}'' when the boys went to Canada (including Leo) while Jackie convinced Donna to come with her to a modelling try-out.

* Happens regularly in ''{{Coupling}}'', where pretty much every episode will have a separate discussion by the guys and the girls highlighting the different attitudes and perceptions of the two sexes. This is largely because the cast is composed or two [[PowerTrio Power Trios]] with alpha couple Steve and Susan as the centered egos, each with their own same-sex id and superego friends.

A sometimes SubTrope of ThreeAmigos which are about trios as a whole. See TwoLinesNoWaiting for other kinds of A- and B-plots.

* Happens in the ''{{Community}}'' episode [[Recap/CommunityS2E07AerodynamicsOfGender Aerodynamics of Gender]], except Abed spends the whole episode with the girls. Shirley, Britta, Annie and Abed take a Women Studies class together and take down an [[AlphaBitch evil]] GirlPosse using Abed's supreme observational skills. It backfires when the girls get [[PowerHigh high on power]] and become the new [[AlphaBitch alpha bitches]] of the school. Meanwhile, Jeff and Troy find a hidden garden with a trampoline, which they promise the groundskeeper to keep a secret because trampolines aren't allowed on campus. Pierce realizes that they're hiding something and spends most of the episode trying to figure out what they're up to.

* GirlsNightOutEpisode is specific to girls, this is not.

* ''{{Lizzie McGuire}}'', particularly in an episode where Lizzie and Miranda goes to buy bras as the A-plot, whilst Gordo hangs back to help Lizzie's little brother Matt and Mr. [=McGuire=] make a martial arts film as the B-plot.

* Happens in {{Farscape}} but the gender subplots are separated into two different episodes: "Mental as Anything" for the guys and "Bringing Home the Beacon" for the girls.
