Ali gets a job at the Sharma and Sharma sweet factory and befriends [[Lisa Dingle]] ([[Jane Cox]]). When Lisa learns her daughter, [[Belle Dingle|Belle]] ([[Eden Taylor-Draper]]), is seeing Sean, she asks Ali to keep him away. Ali struggles to pay the rent and asks Nicola for an extension, which is refused. Ali and Ruby begin drifting apart and things worsen when Ruby suggests moving back to Hotten. Ruby eventually admits having some savings that she planned to use to move away but Ali accuses her of trying to run away but Ruby insists she wants to stay with Ali and her family and asks Ali to divorce Dan but she makes excuses not to. When Sean asks Ali to read his school project, she reveals that she cannot read or write, admitting that she rarely went to school and the teachers didn't help. Ali is asked to cover for Lisa when she has to collect Samson from school because he is ill and accidentally sends a customer the wrong order. Initially, she blames Lisa but when Lisa is suspended, Ali admits to [[Jai Sharma|Jai]] ([[Chris Bisson]]) and [[Nikhil Sharma]] ([[Rik Makarem]]) that she [[Literacy#Illiteracy|cannot read]]. They insist she attends an adult literacy course if she wants to keep her job and all goes well until Ali notices another child wearing Sean's trainers and demands he return them. When he refuses, she knocks him over and is removing them herself but is stopped by the staff. The child's parents decline to press charges but the staff ban Ali from the school grounds, so Ruby takes over as Ali's teacher.

Ali accepts it reluctantly and is pleased when Rachel moves into Tenant's Cottage in the village. She, Ruby and the children live quietly for a while until Declan's sister, [[Megan Macey]] ([[Gaynor Faye]]), takes a shine to the cottage and gives them notice to quit as she plans to live there with her son, [[Robbie Lawson (Emmerdale)|Robbie Lawson]] (Jamie Shelton). When Declan learns of this, he is not pleased and tells Megan to withdraw the notice to quit but she and Zak Dingle go to measure up. Ali visits Declan and tells him what has happened and they return to the cottage, just in time to see Rachel
