Next, our actors sat next to Doug and Patricia, a local couple who offered Jeremy some sweet advice for his first date: "Give her a nice impression. Don't go wild, be yourself, be calm, and you know, do your thing."

This budding friendship took a nasty turn, however, when Doug noticed Jeremy drugging Brigitte's drink. Immediately he sprang into action, "Can I say something to you?" he shouted. "You dropped something in that drink."

Jeremy denied it but Doug persisted, even to his wife's dismay. Doug was so sure of what he saw he kept telling his wife to "shut up."

But did he tell Brigitte what he saw when she returned?

We were surprised to find that Doug, along with most other patrons, remained quiet until Brigitte started to act sick from the fake drug. As soon as he saw her act faint, Doug reacted, telling Brigitte authoritatively, "Throw that wine away.… Are you OK?"

We let Doug in on our experiment, and he had some advice of his own.

"The right thing for this whole country is if something is wrong, speak up. React and protect your neighbors and let your neighbors protect you. C'mon America …We are the best, let's live it that way," he said.
