ABC’s hidden-camera social experiment series, What Would You Do?, returns with a new episode this Wednesday, January 15th at 10:22 PM. Host John Quiñones continues to observe the choices everyday people make when confronted with ethically challenging situations. This week’s episode presents a series of scenarios designed to test the moral compass of unsuspecting bystanders.

One scenario revolves around a stolen lottery ticket. The show sets the stage for a seemingly ordinary individual to swipe a winning ticket and observes whether those nearby will intervene. Another scenario places witnesses in the uncomfortable position of observing a father encouraging his son to resort to violence. Will anyone step in to de-escalate the situation, or will they remain silent observers? And, in a slightly lighter but still potentially harmful scenario, a dangerous prank unfolds at a mini golf course, prompting the question: will anyone try to stop the potentially injurious behavior?
