### House Hunting

After his mother kicks him out of the apartment, Chase tries to find somewhere new to go. Echo takes him to her house, but her parents don't like him. He then goes to Juan's, but finds 15 people living in a 3 bedroom house was already too crowded. Finally he settles on the old couch under the bridge by the railroad tracks. He stays there for a few weeks before going back to the apartment so he could sneak in to grab some clothes. He slinks up the stairs and uses his old key to open the door. When he looks inside there is no evidence of his mom. Only the furniture and kitchenware are left behind. He goes back outside where he finds Ashley sitting outside her door. Ashley tells him that his mom left a week ago and disappeared with her boyfriend. She also tells him that she hasn't seen her own mom either. Still feeling abandoned, Chase pushes his sadness to the back of his mind and invites Ashley in for dinner.
