This guy had info that mistress Gaia did not want him sharing with anyone. He shared some of the info with her competitors and she felt like it was betrayal on his part. She had to teach him a lesson and she did it by torturing him with her chokehold. She was stronger than he thought she was and he could not break free from her chokehold. He had to beg and promise to make up for his mistakes before she let him go free.
