The character of Alice was introduced to the story of The Big Bang Theory in season 5 as the “hot girl” who had arrived in the comic book store. The gang wonders why a beautiful girl like her is spending her time in a comic book store, only to find out that she is also a comic reader, as she tries (flirtatiously) to gain the rare comic book in Leonard's hands.

Alice and Leonard go on a couple of dates and the two grow quite close to each other and have an intimate moment by the end of the episode. While Leonard did kiss Alice earlier, the character felt guilty and decided to come clean with the girl. After knowing that Leonard had a girlfriend who was in India at the time, Alice kicked Leonard out of her house and ended their relationship.
