The Traitors

Previously on "The Traitors"...

Aah!

...the players took on a mission from hell.

- Oh, maggots! - Oh, Jesus.

- That is up! -

The faithful laid another trap for the traitors.

It’s a shield.

- I got it. - Trishelle, keep it secret.

Don’t tell anybody.

And Phaedra and Parvati came under fire...

- Why? - I have, like, a million reasons.

Your eye starts to freak out a little bit.

I’ve never heard anybody say that.

I feel Parvati could well be a mistress of murder.

I had a conversation with Parvati

that completely shifted my view.

You’ve changed your mind about Parvati,

who you were so passionate about.

...before another traitor was banished.

I am not...

a faithful. I’m a traitor.

Tonight, you must select one faithful

and offer them an ultimatum...

...join you or die.

Who would you like to issue this ultimatum to?

Kate.

But will Kate switch to the dark side?

I hate this place.

What the

You sly fox.

Hello, Kate.

Tonight, I have an ultimatum for you.

Join me as a traitor,

or else I will have to murder you.

You’re smart. You’re clever.

I think you’ll make a crazy-cool killer with me.

So what is your answer?

I accept.

Awesome.

Great choice.

I didn’t want to leave you here to die.

I mean, she’s not really giving me a choice here.

But I do love a dramatic cloak.

And I do love a VIP club. And I do love knowing secrets.

So I guess I’m a traitor now. It might be fun.

Follow me, because we’ve got to murder someone.

Who?

Only thing that’s surprising me right now,

it’s just Phaedra as the only traitor left.

I’m kind of, like, disappointed.

So you've spent a lot of time up here.

Yes, I’ve been here quite a bit.

This is my home away from home, my penthouse.

- I love it. - Thanks.

Was it just you, Dan, and Parvati the whole time?

- Yes. - Who was recruited? You?

- Parvati. - No!

It started you and Dan? - Oh, God, yeah.

It was like eating dry melba toast with no butter,

no jam, no nothing. - That is totally the vibe I got.

- Totally the vibe. - Uh-huh.

So what is our strategy going forward?

You don’t have a plan? I just got here.

You’ve been a traitor for a while now, the whole time.

Well, what do you think?

Well, um, Kevin’s pretty annoying sometimes.

Kevin.

It could look a little bit suspicious,

since he did vote for me tonight

and had his brilliant eye-twitching argument.

Oh, I want to murder him just for that.

Me too. But he’s a follower, and he’s following a dictator--

Peter.

I know.

Peter puts the dick in dictator. -

All the bullshit he pulled tonight.

Like, that was so crazy.

He thought he was so clever.

- Yeah, we got to get rid of him. - He’s not as smart as he thinks.

But we gotta make sure we don’t misfire,

because if they have a shield, it’ll be another Bergie.

Peter-- I think he might have the shield.

He’s always gunning for the shield.

So... - What about Trishelle?

Hmm.

She was made a fool tonight at the round table,

and she’s like, "But I still have my bullet points."

Oh, my God, throw your notebook away...

- Yeah. - ...with your little funny hats.

Now she’s going to have a vendetta.

She wants to prove her point. - Yeah.

So is it Trishelle or Kevin?

They deserve it.

- Natural-born killer. I love it. - I mean...

- Yeah. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. - Yeah.

- Okay. Let’s do it. - This is the best thing I’ve done

since I’ve been in the castle.

The turret definitely suits Kate.

She appears to be right at home,

so I am glad she is feeling very comfortable in her surroundings.

Signed, sealed, delivered. You’re dead.

This is fun. - Let’s go.

Hoods up. - Okay.

The first day on the job is always the worst.

You’re learning everything. - I think you're great.

We’re going to be a killing duo.

It’s only my first murder.

I just became a traitor five minutes ago.

But I feel like I’m going to be good at this.

I will burn this castle to the ground.

With the traitors now a diabolical duo,

they have committed their sixth murder.

This morning, surviving players are heading to breakfast.

But one player won’t make it,

and only the traitors know who that is.

- We’re first. Oh. - Oh.

Here we were about to make a grand entrance.

I have just woken up a traitor, and I am not prepared for this.

I’m not a good liar. Definitely don’t like lying to my friends.

So peaceful. - I've never been first to breakfast.

It’s nice. The only way I’m going to get through this

is to remain in my truth--

I’m still a faithful.

Peter is a traitor still to the faithfuls. He lied.

You know what’s weird? That we caught a traitor

but nobody was happy and celebrating,

like when we caught Dan. - You said that.

And again, here’s Peter

cutting deals with people that are traitors.

And then he took me in the kitchen afterwards,

and he was like, "Listen, I knew Parvati was a traitor.

You’re on to me." I don’t love that.

- Was that knock? - Yeah.

- Hey! - Come and have a seat. - Thank you

to the powers that be for giving me another day. - We're happy to see you.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Peter-- he’s a liar.

Yeah. Kate, you called it when you called him out and said,

"Wait, so one minute it’s 100% Parvati,

the next minute, he was protecting Parvati."

And then she ends up being a traitor.

I just think your credibility just goes out the window at that point.

I don’t believe anything.

He’s playing the game. It’s no hard feelings.

But doing too much.

Peter-- he’s rubbing me the wrong way.

He doesn’t listen to anybody else, and he’s not consistent.

He’s all over the place. He’s always hiding in the dark.

Smoke and mirrors, the politricks, the booby traps.

And it’s one thing to think like a traitor,

but it’s another thing to play like a traitor.

Come in.

- Hey. Oh! - Oh! Good morning.

I was not expecting to be here. It’s great to see you guys.

- Yay! - Yay! - M.J.!

- Hi. Hi. - Good morning. - Hi.

This game is getting to me.

I am extremely shocked to still be alive,

but I’m definitely very grateful to be here.

I am just hoping to see, like, my team-- Trishelle,

John, and Kevin-- walk through those doors.

Wow. Okay. Another day.

- Um, are you good? - Pardon?

There’s, like, something amiss.

Yeah, I'm good.

M.J., stop calling me out.

Okay. Because the light in Kate’s face

is not totally there. - Yeah, I'm good.

Shut up, M.J.

I’m tired. Give me the coffee. Get off my back.

I’m freaking out. I have got to get my shit together.

I am a faithful. Peter is a traitor.

I am a faithful.

This is why I don’t smoke marijuana.

I get paranoid, and I think everything I say is, like, wrong.

"Pass the eggs." I’m like, "Did I say that like a traitor,

or did I say that like a faithful?"

If I were still a faithful, would I be eating the salmon?

I don’t know.

- Oh! - We made it.

I’m feeling so good walking into breakfast this morning

because I’m happy to have made it this far.

But it’s getting down to the wire.

Like, we have work to do.

So John, Phaedra, Trishelle, Kevin?

Uh-oh.

That’s a girl knock.

- Yay! - Good morning.

Wow!

- Good morning. - Good morning. - What a pretty outfit.
