Embarrassing public episode
I believe the answer is:
scene
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">embarrassing public episode</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for scene that I've seen before include "Location; outburst" , "Landscape; part of act" , "Picture" , "Landscape; part of play" , "Section of a stage work" .)
