In the video, Daniel helped Tylor, who was living on the streets. He was heard saying, "Shaun Weiss and his team put a lot of effort into trying to get him into a hospital last night, and I thought it worked. His dad told me it worked, but it turns out he kind of backed out."

Later, Daniel took Chase to a nearby pizza place, where they enjoyed a meal together. While there, they also FaceTimed with fellow Ned's Declassified alum Devon Werkheiser.

Daniel also found accommodations at a hotel amid the busy holiday season. "It's a holiday season, it's raining out, I just wanted him to have at least basic accommodation," Lee says in the video.

Further, Daniel was heard saying, "I'm gonna come back and try and talk about getting the situation squared away, so we can do the rehab and whatever we need to okay?" An emotional Tylor was later seen hugging Daniel and expressing gratitude.

Lee stated that he had spoken to Chase's mum and dad, putting Chase on a phone call with his father. In the caption of the video, Lee wrote "Tylor Chase and Cookie reunite with Ned on FaceTime. Well fed and safe from the rain. Hotel secured! One step closer to long term treatment. PS: Tylor wants to livestream video games. Who can help?"

He also added that he didn't give the former child star money because Chase's mother warned him that it "might be dangerous" to do so.
