By the time of her release she has lost all her money, so she moves in with her assistant Clare (Kristen Bell) and her preteen daughter who's a member of the Dandelions, a Girl Scout-like troop in which the girls sell brownies. Soon Michelle decides to start her own brownie empire, Michelle's Darlings, in order to make her comeback and take down her enemy Helen (Annie Mumolo) in the process.

Alpha Bitch: Helen is an older version with a girl scout troop, where she bullies them and puts them down, along with the other den-mothers.

Bad Boss: Michelle was this to Claire, even making her whiten her teeth at one point, despite that not being in her job description. Later, Claire has to deal with Dana, who's snobby, vain, and overbearing.

Freudian Excuse: As noted with the abovementioned, much of Michelle's personality and how she treats most everyone is because she was left at an orphanage and kept being returned.
