Wynne is pinned and publicly humiliated in the building lobby while Lance and bystanders struggle to control the scene. A young boy, Henry, speaks up—calling out “Daddy” and “Aunt Lane”—as neighbors accuse Wynne of scheming and mock her with nicknames like “Madam Pig” and “silly piglet.” The confrontation turns physical: someone threatens slaps, another struggles to hold Wynne down, and an argument escalates into a dangerous bluff. A person produces a gun and snarls, “Perhaps I can go home if I shoot the hero’s head off,” leaving everyone frozen in a tense standoff.
