What you see here is what is called Substantivierung - An adjective is elevated to a substantive -
das Peinliche
("the embarrassing") is used as a substantive in the sentence (after all, it is the object of the sentence) and thus has to be upper-cased.
The -s suffix is used in your example because of the "etwas" which enforces mixed declension.
