Ali is the seventeen-year-old who begins to stalk House during episodes 3.3 and 3.4. [ Informed Consent and Lines in the Sand ] She comes to the clinic with her father who has a cold. She beings to call the clinic obsessively to talk to House and shows up in random places. She sends him a Fresno calendar (from when her and her father recently visited California) so he can count down the six months until she turns 18. Cuddy forces House to send her away once and for all and when Ali begins crying House realizes that she actually has a spore in her brain from an earthquake while she was in California. He realizes this because one of the symptoms is milky tears. House is disappointed because this means that the hot seventeen-year-old never actually liked him because loss of inhibitions is also a symptom of her spore .
