Rise of the Governor[]

"Chaos Theory"[]

Having followed Philip Blake's group for fifty miles outside of Atlanta, Cher, along with Sonny, under orders from their leader, Tommy, decided to attempt and take the Peach Orchard Villa from Philip's group after conducting a few days of scouting and recon on the house. Cher and Sonny are then ordered to find Brian and Penny Blake and hold them hostage with a .38 Police Special while a deal is struck between Tommy and Philip. After the deal was made that would allow Philip and his group to leave unharmed, Tommy orders his men to betray them and hunt down Philip's group to kill them. During the hunting, both Cher and Sonny are captured by Philip Blake and Nick Parsons. Near the end of the hunt Penny Blake is killed by one of Cher and Sonny's allies. This leads Philip to slowly torture Cher and Sonny for days in a barn while specifically raping her until Nick discovers his secret. The almost unrecognizable Cher requests that Nick put both of her and Sonny out of their misery, to which Nick complies.
