If he's walking toward his dugout when a teammate yells to him to go and touch the plate, and the runner then turns and goes toward the plate to touch it, the catcher must tag him to get the out; an appeal touch of home is not good enough. However, a "wild goose chase" isn't permitted. In other words, if the runner attempt to return and touch the plate, he can't start running all over the place to avoid the catcher trying to tag him for the out.

That part is also true in FED, unless he was forced home in which case you can get the out by (intentionally) touching the base.
