Biography[]

Alison first appeared in the episode "Stupid Girl. Malcolm had a crush on Alison, but his hyper intelligence was confusing to her. Acting dumb like Reese, he managed to calm down and relax to win her over. Alison and Malcolm went to the dance together. While on their way drinking, Stevie and Lois bust them in the act. They subsequently broke up, after which Reese began dating Alison.

In Malcolm Holds His Tongue, Malcolm and Stevie witnesses Reese and Alison arguing. He wishes to accompany her to a concert, but unfortunately his driver's license has been suspended due to his public defender refusing to use the insanity defense given his past issues with the law. Thus Alison made her ultimatum clear to Reese: Ether he finds a driver or she'll dump him. He attempts to get Hal and Lois to help him out and chauffer them to the concert. They gave Reese a resounding NO and pointing out that he needs to find someone else to chauffer him and Alison. He ultimately turns to Craig and bribes him with a large cinnamon roll to chauffer them there. On that night, they learn Craig has intentionally drives past the concert. Reese and Alison demand he stops the car at once. They points out that he missed the drop off spot for them to go to the concert. Craig tries to convince them of other fun activities and revealing his own plans for his night. He wants to start off by going on a hayride, then go to dinner at an Italian restaurant and end it with a bonfire at the beach. Reese is angered over what Craig has done to him and Alison. He exclaims that Craig has just ruined his and Alison's date because of it. He snaps in anger, pulls the car over and yells at both her and Reese for ruining his night that he had been planning for 34 years. Craig tells the two off they're not going to the concert, but rather a hayride, dinner and a bonfire at the beach. He mentions they're going to enjoy this whether they like it or not. Fed up with Craig's tirades, Alison pepper-sprays his eyes with a can of mace. She is angry, shocked and humiliated when she hears him complain to Reese about her being nice and liking him. Alison immediately unbuckles her seatbelt and exits the car. Reese tries to follow her out, but she positions the can of mace in front of him and threatening to pepper spray his eyes next if he doesn't allow her to go her own way. Seeing how angry Alison is with him, he nervously tells her that he'll see her at school tomorrow. She slams the door in front of Reese and attend the concert alone.
