He Walks in Rags, He Strikes Like Fire - Episode 5

At a busy street, Willa Stone—rich, confident, and public—formally proposes to a beggar: "I'm willing to be your wife, Mr. Langley." Witnesses erupt with disbelief and ridicule, while the beggar insists he doesn't accept handouts and fears the offer is a setup. Willa brings up that he once protected a bullied beggar girl and nearly got beaten, forcing his past into the open. The episode cuts between the mocked girl scavenging for food and the crowd's jeers. A passerby quietly offers him a morsel, and he hesitates—his answer and the public's judgment remain unresolved.
