Caleb assaults Chick for setting him up
Caleb Calhoun and Chick Hogan's relationship in Bates Motel is antagonistic from the start. Chick first meets Dylan, Caleb's nephew, and tells him that he lives nearby and is looking for his dog. He then approaches Caleb in the forest and offers him a job as a driver for a drug deal, which will pay $25,000. Dylan wants to accept, but Caleb refuses. However, he later changes his mind and agrees to join Dylan for the job.
Upon reaching the drop-off point, Caleb and Dylan are ambushed. They realise that Chick is an informant, and when confronted, Chick feigns ignorance and asks for his money from the delivery. Caleb assaults Chick for setting them up, leaving him battered and bruised, and takes the delivery money. He gives the money to Dylan and tells him that he is leaving town.
Chick survives the assault and continues to play a role in the Bates family's life, particularly in relation to Norman Bates, who is struggling with dissociative identity disorder. Chick discovers that Norman has been storing his mother's body in the basement and is aware of his psychotic episodes. He uses this knowledge to manipulate Norman and ingratiate himself with the family.
Chick eventually kills Caleb, albeit accidentally, in the final season of Bates Motel. While fleeing from Norma, who is trying to shoot him, Caleb ends up in the road and is hit by Chick's car.

Caleb warns Chick to stay away from Dylan
Caleb Calhoun and Chick Hogan's relationship in Bates Motel is a complicated one, with Chick eventually killing Caleb (albeit accidentally).
Chick first meets Dylan, Caleb's nephew, and tells him that he lives nearby and is looking for his dog. Chick then meets Caleb and offers him a job that will pay $25,000.

He discovers that Norman, Dylan's brother, has stolen Norma's (Dylan's mother) body from its grave and is storing it in the basement. Chick manoeuvres to be around Norman by helping him with household chores and even covers for him, telling others that Norma is alive.
Caleb, meanwhile, has left town. When he returns, he seeks out Dylan and tells him about his grandmother's death and that he wants Dylan to have her assets.
