Several months later, after having back-alley reconstructive surgery to fix the damage Matt did, Cherry has a consultation at McNamara/Troy to have more reconstrutive work done, since the cheap one she got left her in such a state of disfigurement that she was fired from her bartending job for 'scaring the customers away.' She then demands the doctors do the surgery for free since Matt is Dr. This caused Cherry and a group of friends to later retaliate against Matt by chasing Matt down from his high school, beating him up, and then urinating on him. Matt then violently assaults Cherry leaving her with facial damage. Cherry does not understand Matt's behavior as she got the impression that Matt was a trans admirer and aware of Cherry's pre-op status. Matt becomes angry after it is revealed that Cherry still has a penis and is pre-op. They begin to have sex but this is stopped as Matt pulls off Cherry's underwear. They later go into a back room at the club to be alone together. Soon after, Cherry approaches Matt asking for a drink.

Matt originally came to the bar exploring the idea that he might be attracted to trans women. It is unclear whether the character is supposed to be Cherry. Although Willam Belli, the actor, can be seen (uncredited and with no speaking lines) in the episode 'Joan Rivers' in group therapy, there is little explanation as to the character's relocation. Cherry Peck is a trans woman who was first introduced to the show when meeting Matt at a bar.
