Biography[]

In the first episode, Alan and his friends pick on Sam, Neal, and Bill, and they threaten to beat them up outside of school. Seeing that Sam is having a tough time against his bullies, Lindsay intervenes to defend the Geeks. She scares the bullies off by intimidating them if they have the guts to hurt a girl or not.

Alan later crushes Sam's twinkies, but Sam snitches on him, causing Alan to be even angrier. Despite that, Bill tries to stand up for Sam, to which Alan threatens to beat him up as well within the locker room.

In gym class, Coach Fredricks hosts a dodgeball game for his students to participate in. The gym students play dodgeball, which Alan and his friends are happy about as they can attack Sam and Bill. Alan aims for Sam the whole game. Once Alan has him isolated, he throws his ball, but Sam catches it, eliminating Alan from the game, much to everyone's surprise. Nevertheless, Sam gets bombarded by a bunch of dodgeballs from the other bullies on Alan's team, eliminating Sam from the game.

Alan threatens to beat up Sam and Bill again. When Sam and Bill both seek advice from Harris on how to avoid this, Harris says that he would earn his respect, if the Geeks fight Alan. Neal finds the idea ridiculous; however, as he walks away, he bumps into Alan, who threatens to fight him as well.

Neal, Bill, and Colin later go to Alan's turf, and wait for him and Sam. Missing a member, Sam does not appear (who is busy with asking out Cindy Sanders to the Homecoming dance), and when Alan shows up, they say that they plan to fight him. When Alan shows up alone, the kids state that they plan to fight him. Alan agrees to his opponents' demand, believing that it will be a piece of cake for him. Recklessly, Alan gets cocky by underestimating his victims. Colin, Neal, and Bill all form their effective teamwork to knock Alan down to the ground, and they tear up his shirt, much to Alan's annoyance. Alan gets up from the ground, and he flees from the battle, losing to his victims.

In "Tricks and Treats", on Halloween, Alan and his friends arrive and ambush Sam, Neal, Bill, and Harris, as they are trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. Alan says that now, he has his friends, so it's a fair fight. He offers them the chance to hand over their candy and be spared of their wrath. Harris quickly agrees; however, the other three don't. Alan and his friends proceed to beat them up and run off with their candy.

In "Tests and Breasts", Coach Fredricks educates his students on the illustration of the fetus and the female human body in health class. While Sam disrupts the class by talking to his Geek friends about the porn video that Daniel gave him from earlier, Sam's coach interrupts Sam by telling him to get up and identify the female body's vulva area to the students. Sam nervously gets up to misidentify the female body's vulva area, and Alan and the other bullies make fun of him. Sam's coach tells Sam to return to his seat, and that he and his friends will serve a few hours of detention after school for disrupting the class.

In the episode "I'm with the Band", Coach Fredricks makes an announcement to his students that the next time they are in gym class, they will have to take a shower in a public bathroom after gym class is over, due to the physical education department requiring them to do so to improve the body hygiene of the students at school. Failing to lie to the coach about being sick the 4th time, Sam is forced by the coach to enter the locker room to get naked, but Alan and the other bullies steal his towel from him and they unintentionally kick him out from the locker room to the school hallway. Hilariously, Sam sprints without any clothes on from the school hallway to the outside of the school, while random students are witnessing him and they cheer him on, instead of laughing at him. Sam manages to get back inside of the school's gym, but he ends up bumping on a giant soft ball, gaining attention from his coach and another teacher.

After school, Alan, riding on his bike, taunts Sam for his embarrassment in front of the faculty members and students alike. Fortunately for Sam, Cindy rides on a car with her cheerleading friends and jock friends, passing by Sam and the other Geeks. They root for Sam for getting naked (unintentionally) as a symbol of rebelling against school rules, much to the disappointment of Alan, who departs the scene.

In the episode "The Diary", in Coach Fredricks' office, Coach Fredricks is furious at his students for pulling off prank calls on him. The coach forces the Geeks, Alan, and a random student to get each turns to read the script with Bill's insults on it, which was written by the coach himself, to determine who prank-called him on the hotline. Alan seems to enjoy the thrill of reading Bill's insults in front of the coach, and he cracks up.

In "Chokin' and Tokin'", in the school's cafeteria, Alan sabotages Bill's sandwich by placing peanuts, which Bill is extremely allergic to, in it. Later on, Bill begins to experience sickness, and he is rushed to the hospital, shocking and worrying Alan. Alan is coerced by his parent to apologize to Bill, who is in a coma, in the recovery room. It is later revealed that Alan used to admire Sam, Bill, and Neal back in the 5th grade, and he wanted to be their friend. However, they didn't let him play with them, and it hurt Alan's feelings badly. Alan is also scared that he will end up in juvenile detention center, if Bill dies from the peanuts. Suddenly, Bill wakes up from his coma, and he heard everything from Alan, who insults him to make Bill forget what he said to him. Although, Bill offers to invite Alan to the Sci-Fi convention center to meet George Takei. Alan changes the subject by apologizing to Bill, and Bill easily forgives him.

Near Sam's home at 10:00 am, Alan is shown riding his bike to prepare to make amends with the Geeks by attempting to be friends with them, but he hesitates and he departs. Regardless, Alan quits bullying the Geeks from now on.
