The Traitors

- Previously on "The Traitors"... - Cody.

- ...the faithful successfully banished their first traitor...

- I am a traitor. - Yes!

- Who's actually got a traitor out.

- ...but the treacherous two quickly found a replacement.

- Oh, my God. Arie actually took the bait.

Can I murder the first person?

This is a whole new game for me.

I voted for you, Rachel.

- The faithful suffered another blow when Rachel was banished.

- I've been backstabbed by each and every one of you.

I'm faithful. Good luck.

- And at the end draws near, and with so much at stake,

Your prize pot -- $168,800.

Have Christian's actions drawn suspicions

towards the traitors...

- I was recruited to be a traitor.

- What? - I clearly said no.

- What are you talking about? What are you doing?

- What if he was already a traitor?

- ...threatening their chance to steal all the money?

He's playing it to loose.

- I know our plan's going to work.

We got this in the bag.

Ohhh. - Dude.

Oh, today was the most stressful day as a traitor.

I messed up. - Talking too damn much.

- I thought about it all night. I was like,

"I don't think I should do it. I don't know if I should do it.

Should I tell them?" And then I was like,

"it. I'm just going to do it."

- Yeah. Yeah. - But you know what's wild is,

it never got brought up at the round table.

- Christian had slipped up in the morning,

saying that he received a letter,

and I really hated

that because the whole day was damage control.

- Thankfully, Kate got under Rachel's skin.

She was just like, "Y'all are getting screwed by Kate. Kate."

And I was just like, "Yes, yes, yes."

- Christian is a little bit reckless,

and it could lead to us being uncovered, as well.

- And, honestly, what gives me the most anxiety

is Stephenie.

Yeah.

- She's pretty on it, actually. - She's on it.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. - She's pretty on it.

- But, as of right now, this is how I see it.

We murder Stephenie.

I think that's just --

there's no decision in that to me.

I mean, that's just as clear as day.

- I'm trying to not show the disdain in my face

that I'm feeling at this moment

because, one, I don't want Stephenie to get murdered,

and, two, Christian's salivating at the thought of murdering her.

- Unless y'all have a different choice

and want to run through the pros and cons of it,

it is an obvious decision. - Let's just run through just --

- Okay. - Kate.

- We keep her? - Yes.

- Great shield. - Andie.

Andie.

- No, - Not even necessary.

Not necessary. Quentin?

One of the reasons we could murder Quentin...

- Mm-hmm. - ...that puts suspicion on Kate.

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.

- Okay, so let's -- let's do the math here.

Murder Quentin or Stephenie.

Kate's to blame. We banish Kate tomorrow.

- Yeah. - Let's go.

- Behaviors dictate my actions a lot of the times,

and Christian's behavior is definitely weighing heavy

on the actions that I plan on taking.

- Oh, we're his first ones. - First ones. First ones.

Oh. - I know.

Fire's going.

I'm so glad I can spend some time with you.

- I know. We never get to talk,

'cause he's always, like, right there.

- Well, you're my girl, so... - Arie, I got you.

I'm telling you. I'm telling you I got you.

- I know. I'm -- same. Same. - Look at me.

- Look at me. - The same.

I got you.

Christian's a liability.

- Like, last night, I was like,

"Does he always talk that brutally about everyone?"

- Yes. - Oh, my God.

Yes, that's where I'm like...

Christian has brought a lot of suspicion on hisself

with this harebrained scheme to announce

that he was the recruit, and he declined it.

If we don't give them a traitor at this banishment,

they're going to have to start

looking inward... - Yeah.

- ...and there's no suspicion on me.

There's been very little on you. - On me, yeah.

- You got to think it through, though.

I don't want to --

- Oh. - Ah.

- Hey, guys. - Kate.

- Still here. - Yep.

- The fabulous Kate. - Hi.

Frankly, I cannot believe I'm still here,

despite my best efforts, I've tried to get murdered,

I've thrown money over hillsides.

Who knew that sucking was actually a winning strategy?

It's pretty down to the wire. - Yeah, yeah.

If we don't get one out tonight,

we might as well just all go home.

Just give it up.

- I mean, I was certain about Rachel.

- I know. - I feel like she would've been

a great traitor. - Mm-hmm.

- She would've been a great traitor.

- Yeah. - That was my argument.

- Yeah. - I believed it.

Obviously, wrong.

So what...?

Who could be murdered?

- Andie, Christian, Quentin, and Stephenie.

- I was thinking either you or Christian

because if Christian got the letter --

- Yeah, but -- yeah, but, no, because that's my --

one of my points.

Where is the letter? Show me the letter, Christian.

I would've laminated it

and worn it as a necklace. - I would've somersaulted

into this room to say, "Guess what, guys?"

Yeah.

Goodness.

- No! - Yes!

Oh.

- I'm just super stoked to see Cirie and Arie

'cause, honestly, I don't know what I would do

without either of them.

And I see Kate, and I'm like...

She's been the number one suspect.

Like, we need to just get it over with.

Just be done.

You're getting a hug whether you want one or not.

I want one. I want one.

I thought you were murdered for sure.

Oh, my God.

- Y'all, I literally brought this

because I thought I was going today,

and I was like, "It's my protection."

Oh, my gosh.

- This morning when I woke up, I put my kid's

ultrasound in my pocket because I was like,

"I need safety coming into this breakfast," and I was saved.

So wasn't murdered last night. I just feel so relieved.

Y'all.

- Wait. - Look.

- What happened? - Three times in a row.

- Three times. - You've gotten the shield

that many times? - In a row.

You are the shield master.

- Come in. - Come in.

Let's go. Ah.

I am freaking out.

Me, too.

- My heart is going -- - I know.

We've all experienced the same --

Who's left? Who's left?

- Quentin and Stephenie. - Stephenie.

I'm feeling really good.

One day away from winning this money.

But I had to put a lot of, like, fake stress on this morning,

which even fake stress puts real stress into your mind.

- I feel nauseous. - I-I do feel like I have to --

- I just don't even know what to think anymore.

- I don't even make eye contact with Christian.

I'm trying to just look at my empty plate.

I don't know what to do.

I need to get my act together

because I can't be like this all day.

- So it's between... - Quentin and Stephenie.

- I don't think Stephenie's walking through that door.

This is wild.

I just lost my appetite.

Oh.

- Ugh, I'm going to scream. I'm gonna die.

Oh!

Oh.

- Ugh, I'm going to scream. I'm gonna die.

- Oh! - Ah!

Hello-o-o-o.

Wow.

I am greeted with open arms.

You know, everyone is -- or they seem happy, you know, to see me.

You never really know 'cause somebody in here is lying.

They took a shot at who? - Steph.

- At Stephenie. - Stephenie.

- I have the shield, too. - Oh, wow.

Oh, you had the shield. Wow.

You keep getting that shield. - I know.

- Wait. - Yep.
