MOTHER GOTHEL
Well I was still on set when I had that conversation with Chase
I was in my trailer, getting ready for a scene
But then I got the messages and it felt like I had gotten punched in the face
All hell broke lose at that point

CHEWBACCA
Oh sweetie... 😞

MOTHER GOTHEL
I had to leave in the middle of shooting
I didn't tell anyone
I just left
It broke me
And you know what happens when I feel like that

CHEWBACCA
Oh no
Lana please don't tell me you had a drink

MOTHER GOTHEL
No

CHEWBACCA
Thank goodness
I literally stopped breathing for a second there

MOTHER GOTHEL
But I almost did
I went to the bar near the set
The one the cast usually goes to after shootings
And I sat there for a long time
My phone was blowing up with messages
I didn't answer anyone
Except Robert
I told him where I was
He freaked out and said he'd come get me
A few minutes later he bolted into the bar like a lunatic and made me leave
I swear Marjani if he hadn't come to get me I would've had that drink

CHEWBACCA
Thank God for Robert

MOTHER GOTHEL
Then he made me get into his car
And I sat there bawling for half an hour

CHEWBACCA
What did he say??

MOTHER GOTHEL
Nothing at first
He just let me have a good cry
Which I'm so, so thankful for
And after a while I could speak again
So he asked me what had happened
And I told him everything

CHEWBACCA
Everything?

MOTHER GOTHEL
Yeah
My shitty ex husband and his threats, Nolan's custody agreement... all of it

CHEWBACCA
Then what?

MOTHER GOTHEL
I don't know, we just sat in his car for a while and we talked
Obviously he cursed out Chase almost as much as you and I do
He said he'd hook me up with his army of lawyers if it ever came to it

CHEWBACCA
Doesn't he have a kid too? What was his custody battle like?

MOTHER GOTHEL
Not much of a battle tbh
Unlike Chase, his ex-wife doesn't want to keep his daughter away from him
It was mostly about proving to the court that he could stay sober
Which he did
And they gave him shared custody

CHEWBACCA
You guys have more in common than I thought

MOTHER GOTHEL
Yeah I guess
Still pretty fucking tragic if you ask me

CHEWBACCA
What do you mean?

MOTHER GOTHEL
Robert's an all around amazing person
I just hate that we bonded over the fact that we're both ex-addicts
It's so pathetic

CHEWBACCA
That's because you still haven't made peace with your past

MOTHER GOTHEL
Gosh I hate it when you get philosophical

CHEWBACCA
Because I'm always right? 😏

MOTHER GOTHEL
Meeeh 🙄

CHEWBACCA
I'll tell you one thing though
You know I worry a lot about you
But now that Robert's around, it feels like I don't have to worry as much
