Post an interview with Sheldon, she was offered the job as his assistant on the spot. Shortly after that, she met the other two members of his tribe, namely Johnny Galecki's Leonard Hofstadter and Kunal Nayyar's Raj Koothrappali. To the viewers, it becomes abundantly apparent that Alex has a soft corner for Galecki's Leonard, which would go on to set up an intriguing storyline between the pair, even though at this point, Leonard was seeing Kaley Cuoco's Penny. In her second appearance, the viewers saw Alex expressing her feelings towards Leonard in her own way by saying that she's sure that Leonard gets hit on all the time as he is "cute and funny”. Even then, it becomes clear that Leonard has no idea that Alex is making advances towards him, up until when the latter asks him out for dinner. One thing leads to another and it ends with Sheldon Cooper getting a whiff regarding Alex's feelings towards his friend. Upon learning about the same, Alex gets reprimanded for making inappropriate advances towards Hofstader. A snippet from that very exchange can be found below.

To this date, Harshman hasn't spoken about her Big Bang exit. Margo Harshman's age at the time of her Big Bang Theory exit was all of 27 years old.
