She first appears in "Basketball".

Biography[]

She is presumed to be around the same age as Claire since Jay described her as being "slow" when they were growing up. When she was younger, she thought a balloon was her friend and named it "Balloon Da Carlyle". She was known to pet two different class rabbits to death.

She doesn't like Jay and he calls her "a slimy grease bucket".

In "Basketball", she was caught on the news while buying cheap lumber which contains a chemical making people sick for her father's company, Closets, Closets, Closets, Closets.

In "In Your Head", her father passed away. He had sent his ashes to Jay with a note saying, "Follow the path". So Claire set up a lunch date with Shirl to find out the meaning behind the note.

There, the two promised to leave their fathers' feud behind them although Shirl claimed to know nothing about the note. She also helped Claire track down the pineapple shaped doorknobs she was looking for.

When Claire got back to her office, she and Jay found ketchup stains on Pritchett's Closets & Blinds's proposal for Belmont Garden, 15 minutes after Jay was told that Shirl's newly acquired company, Closets, Closets, Closets, Closets was bidding against them for it. They assumed that Shirl had rifled through Claire's bag while she was in the bathroom and the ketchup stain was from the french fries she had for lunch.

Margaret then told them that all the pineapple shaped doorknobs had been bought up by Shirl.

They planned to get back at Shirl by stealing her head designer, Lazlo, from her company. But Shirl caught them in act and revealed that she didn't go through Claire's bag, that she doesn't eat ketchup with her fries, that she and Lazlo had been sleeping with each other, and that she bought all the doorknobs just to gift them to Claire.

A betrayed Shirl then promised to get back at Claire and Jay.
