When Ginger finds out about this, she feels sorry for her. In "Trouble in Gal-Pal Land", Miranda is left friendless when she and Courtney have a temporary falling-out; Macie states that it's because nobody likes her.

Apart from her viciousness, Miranda's trademark are her sniping, sarcastic comments.
