Once they were dressed, Etta sat on his bed as he answered the door. She was speechless and ashamed that she allowed Keith to fuck her against a hotel door. She knew Kendall had emerged mid-way through the sex, but they didn't stop. She felt guilty for corrupting him and even more guilty that his mother might have heard them.

"Mom…" he said as he opened the door to his mother. She was wearing a confused and cautious look on her face. "Are you okay?" he asked hoping his mother wasn't going to ask questions. He knew he looked guilty and his face was flushed. His room smelled of sex and sin, but he didn't mind it. It was something he didn't want to admit, but he had wanted to hook up with Etta for a while, but he was never the type of guy to actually do it. He was a guy and all, but he respected a girl too much to actually treat her like an object.

"Y-Yeah…" Mrs. Knight trailed off with a hint of relief in her voice that it was Kendall and not Keith as she stared back and forth between Kendall and the girl that had just told her that her son is sick with split personality. "I was just going to tell you that I'm a little tired and I'm going to lie down for a nap. I was just checking on you to make sure you're okay."

"I'm fine, mom…" Kendall said in a slightly agitated tone and Mrs. Knight gave a nod.

"Okay…well, I'll talk to you later tonight. Bye…" she said as she left and Kendall leaned against the door with his eyes closed.

"Etta…" he finally said after about a minute of silence. "I don't know what just happened. I mean…I don't know how it happened. I would never use you in such a way…I…"

"Kendall stop…I'm not angry. I'm just…please let's not talk about it, now…"

"I don't want to feel like I violated you or something. When we caught eyes…there was a look in yours…I didn't know what you were thinking and…"

"Kendall, it's not you…I…just want to tell you so much about your case…" Etta said, but she regretted calling his situation a case.

"So…I'm just a…a case study?" Kendall said in a disappointed tone.

"That's not what I meant, Kendall. I just…I want to help you and tell you everything, but you have to be prepared. You're not."

"Help me be prepared. I can take it…I know it." Kendall said as he walked closer to her and gripped her hand. "I trust you, Etta."

"Kendall…" Etta said as before there was a knock at the door. Kendall let out a sigh before he walked to the door and opened it. Kelly was standing there. "Hey, Kelly." Etta said to her cousin as Kelly stepped into Kendall's room.

"Hey." Kelly said before she turned to Kendall. "We have rehearsal tonight. Gustavo wants you guys in the studio in about an hour."

"Okay…" Kendall said as he nodded. "I'll just tell my mom that we'll be in rehearsal."

"Kelly…" Etta said and Kelly turned to her cousin. "do you think I could come? I'm going to call Dr. Mulligan to ask him something, but I wanted to go to the rehearsal."

"I don't see why you can't. I'll let Gustavo know, he'll be upset about it, but I can handle him." Kelly said with a wink. "Well, I should tell the rest of the guys. I'll see you in an hour." Kelly said as she left and Kendall stared at Etta.

"Kendall…I'm going to give Dr. Mulligan a call. It's time I let you in on your progress. I'll be in the lobby. Tell Kelly I'll be there, okay?" she asked and he nodded as she left his room and reached for her phone in her bag.

Kendall leaned against the door and closed his eyes. He couldn't believe he and Etta had sex and it just seemed awkward and unsettling because he didn't even remember how it started. It frustrated him because he wanted her to just tell him. He knew there was something she was hiding, but he didn't know what it was, and it worried him. How bad was it?

Meanwhile, in the lobby, Etta was about to call Dr. Mulligan. She had to let him know she was planning on telling Kendall everything about his dissociative identity disorder. She had to because hiding it from him wasn't helping. Maybe if he knew he had Keith and Kendra as alter personalities, he could control them, but Etta knew it would be a risky move.

"Dr. Mulligan's office. Dr. Mulligan speaking." he said as he answered the phone.

"Hi, Dr. Mulligan. It's Etta. I need your advice and your permission to do something concerning Kendall. His mother is here and I told her about his disorder. I don't know how, but Keith appeared and…something happened. I'm only disclosing this information with you only because it lends a hand to Kendall's case. While, he was Keith…I lost control and slept with him. During sex, Kendall came back and now, he's asking questions and I have to tell him."

"I wouldn't advise that, Etta. Look, if you can wait until tomorrow…I might be able to help you in letting him know of his disorder. I think that when we tell him, it would be in a controlled environment in case he turns into one of his alters and lose control."

"But, he's very curious and he's impatient. I keep telling him that I'll tell him, and I think he's getting frustrated. Please…I'll handle it if Keith or Kendra appears, but I have to tell him tonight." Etta said hearing a long sigh coming from the professor.

"I'm still torn about this decision, Etta. Do you think you can do it in a subtle way in which it seems like a suggestion? Maybe you could hint at it or something."

"I don't know…I'll try." Etta said seeing Kelly and the guys coming off the elevator. "I have to. I'll let you know if I need you for anything."

"Okay and good luck, Etta." Dr. Mulligan said as he hung up. Etta walked towards the guys seeing Carlos and James having a playful argument over who cheated during a video game in which they was playing against each other. The van was running late because of an accident and was stuck in traffic. Kelly was glad that Gustavo wouldn't be angry at the guys and if he was, she would put him in his place and tell him not to be angry. Kendall felt his phone vibrate and he saw he had a text from his mother. He excused himself as he dialed her number and called her. Logan was staring at Etta with a curious look on his face.

"Etta?" he asked as he pulled her aside allowing James and Carlos to argue some more. "I know you can't tell me everything, but…James, Carlos, and I were talking and…we would like to be included in on his situation. I've been doing some research on dissociative identity disorder and I know there's certain things that can trigger his alter personalities. And in doing so, there could be a possible way to merge Kendall, Keith, and Kendra into one person." he said and Etta now knew why they called Logan the smart one.

"Actually, I was thinking of doing that tonight…do you want to help me? I will warn you, this is really, really risky. We could lose Kendall for a while, but I'm positive that we won't. It's time to move forward with this. I told Dr. Mulligan about my plan, and, of course, he doesn't agree with it, but I think it has to be done."

"Okay." Logan said before they heard Kelly telling them the van was here to pick them up. Kendall got off the phone with his mother and Etta waited with caution.

"Mom's staying in tonight, but will be happy to see all of you tomorrow." Kendall said with a smile and everybody felt a quiet relief that it was Kendall.
