Plot
Wheels visits his birth father after he runs away from home. Meanwhile, the police find Shane, who has disappeared after taking drugs at a rock concert.
Main Plot
Wheels finds the place Mike is staying at and enters, and finds Mike's room. When he opens the door to Wheels, he's caught off guard, and tells Wheels to wait downstairs for him. Mike makes Wheels call his grandparents, while he goes to the other room, where their instruments are set up. On the phone, Wheels just tells them to tell Joey he's alright, and hangs up. He then lies to Mike, saying that his grandparents said he could stay. Mike goes back upstairs and Wheels plays on the bass onstage, later being yelled at by Mike's band mate who walks in. Wheels's grandmother goes to the school and has Joey tell her where Wheels is, then she drives up there and barges into the room they're all in. Mike and his fiancee are arguing with Wheels's grandmother when he stands up, walks out and says he doesn't want to live with her. She then expresses her pain and how her husband and herself just want to help Derek, and she starts to cry. Derek goes over to her, and hugs her, and he agrees to go home and return to school.
