Finn had been wracked with guilt ever since the wedding, even with Rachel trying to reassure him at the time that what happened wasn't his fault. Keilani passed by his shared office with Mr. Shue, and when she saw Finn with a frustrated look on his face and staring motionless at his computer, she poked her head through the door. "Hey!" She greeted. "You alright in here?"
As Keilani sat down in the seat in front of his desk, Finn silently debated on whether to tell her about what had happened a few weeks before. After a few seconds, he sighed and confessed, "I kissed Ms. Pillsbury."
Keilani cringed. "Ew."
"I know, I know! She was just panicking over wedding planning, and we had gotten super close during Diva Week planning everything out and judging, and I just didn't know what to do!"
"And you thought kissing Ms. Pillsbury was the best solution?"
Finn groaned loudly and hid his head in his hands. He hated thinking about the absolutely idiotic mistake he had made, but he knew he had to talk about it with someone otherwise he might explode with guilt. "I don't know what to do..." He eventually said. "I feel like I need to talk to Ms. Pillsbury, especially since she ran out on the wedding last week. But I don't know if I should tell Mr. Shue or not."
It was a tricky situation, and both of them knew it. Finn already blamed himself for the ruined wedding that previous week, and he was terrified that if Mr. Shue and Ms. Pillsbury broke up entirely, Finn's mistake would be the reason behind it.
"You've apologized for it as much as you could," Keilani eventually said to him. She was unsure if her advice would work or was even helpful, but she knew that Finn just needed some idea about what to do. "But for right now, I'd just give Ms. Pillsbury her space. You know it can take a really long time for her to process things. And when she finally seems ready to talk about it, then you guys can talk. Although, it seems like you both regret what happened."
"Should I tell him though?" Finn asked. "Should I tell Mr. Shue that I kissed his fiancé?"
Keilani thought about the question, unsure how to respond at first. Then, she carefully answered, "Mr. Shue's going to find out at some point. If it's not you, then it'll inevitably be Ms. Pillsbury because we both know she wouldn't keep that sort of thing a secret. You've got to decide whether you want to be the one to break the news."

Nobody was sure whether Glee club would be happening that week after what happened at the wedding, so when Mr. Shue showed up at their regular meeting time, they were all thrilled that to see what they'd be doing that week. Although he tried his best not to show it, Mr. Shue had been struggling since that weekend when he was left at the altar. However, he tried to pull himself together to come up with an assignment for the Glee club that week.
