Facing a donk lead on a two-way straight board

Paul witnessed the Hand of the Week while playing NL1000 6-max at one of the anonymous tables of MPN (formerly known as Microgaming network).

In a blind vs blind situation the turn brings a two-way straight, and the big blind is facing a strong donk lead by the small blind.

What happens then and how to play in a situation like this explains Internet in the below video:
