Shanny Gold sat before the large phone screen as it played the livestream, pretending to watch it, while Benjamin had the milkshake set aside on his desk as he perused his emails, occasionally watching the show.

Back at the filming location, Shannon and the cast members had concluded their interactive segment. Percy glanced at the time, ready to pick the last lucky viewer, when he suddenly heard something in his in-ear monitors.
After receiving an affirmative nod from Carlos, he turned to the cameras and told the audience, "The show's success wouldn't have been possible without the strong support of you guys. We'd like to thank everyone once again for their love and support of Sixth Sense.
"As we approach the end of the program, we're ready to connect with a few special viewers."
Amid his introduction, the livestream soon connected to a video call. Everyone was rather confused when they saw a traffic officer on the call. Sitting beside him was a young married couple holding their kid.
The couple looked earnestly into the camera, a hint of hesitance evident on their faces.
The traffic officer, Will Quinnell, introduced himself before briefing everyone about their requests. "Thanks to the connection made by the Seastone Police Precinct, we hope to enlist the help of the show's team to help this couple and their child find their benefactor."
As Will spoke, he immediately played a video from his patrol.
In the video, a traffic officer was blocked by a car driving in the opposite direction. The driver was visibly frantic, claiming that the child in the back seat had gone into sudden shock and urgently needed to be rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
It happened to be rush hour at that time, so the road was jammed with traffic. After learning about the urgent situation, the traffic officer immediately reported it to the traffic department, cleared a path ahead, and escorted the car.
Everyone sensed that something was off at that point, and the viewers' first reaction was that the mother had cheated. Since the driver said he was the father, and the mother admitted it, who was that man holding the child in the video call?
The livestream audience collectively made up a dramatic plot.
"I think the child belongs to the mother and the driver. They were secretly on a date with their child, but he unexpectedly experienced a sudden shock."
"The two frantically sent the kid to the hospital and accidentally spewed the truth. To their surprise, the so-called father of the child came and wanted to thank the lifesaver."
"To avoid revealing their infidelity, the mother and the driver faked the disappearance so the father wouldn't know his existence!"
