After Paul Rader is framed for murder, the Rader family spends three and a half weeks on the run living from hotel to hotel eating fast food, ultimately moving to a small Iowa town. When they finally arrive in town, they take on different names and tell everyone that they are victims of Hurricane Katrina and that this is their fourth move since the hurricane. They also claim that their last stay was in Philadelphia before moving again. After moving in, Paul gets a job at the local coffee shop because it has a wireless signal for his PDA, which he can use prove his innocence, and Henry, the oldest son, gets the family in a bit of trouble when it is discovered that he has been keeping contact with his girlfriend from back home.

| Angela: Remember how long it took us to find the Jarvises? Seven years and they had six kids.
Raj: Yeah, but you weren't on it for the first six and a half.
Angela: Next time you kiss my ass, you're fired.
Raj: Yes, ma'am. | Henry: Paul: So where are we all from?
Lily: Philadelphia
Henry: Philadelphia
Hannah: Philadelphia
Tommy: Maryland |

| Henry: We're from New Orleans.
Hannah: Victims of Katrina.
Hurricane Katrina was one of the most damaging hurricanes to hit the United States. Katrina caused severe damage to the Gulf Coast of the United States in August 2005. New Orleans was known for being one of the locations most devastated by the hurricane. The city was severely flooded, with several of its levees breaking, and many of its residents evacuated the city, with many of those choosing not to return.
Claiming to be victims of Katrina would most likely engender sympathy and understanding of their lack of material possessions and records for the Raders, but the fact that the hurricane was more than a year earlier may work against the effectiveness of this as a cover story. |
