- Previously on "The Traitors"...
- People are gonna die. - Oh, God.
- An all-star cast arrived at my castle
deep in the dark Scottish Highlands.
- Oh, my God, y'all, it's real.
- Oh! - Oh!
- And the Traitors were chosen.
If you feel my hand on your shoulder, you are...
a Traitor.
- I get to lie, deceive, and kill people.
- But one was a Secret Traitor,
and nobody will know their identity,
not even you.
The first mission caused the group
to make some grave decisions.
- "The players with a coffin in their grave
will be up for murder tonight." - Oh, my God.
- And nine players were unprotected from murder.
Take a long look at those coffins,
because one of you will be in them tonight.
- Man.
- Porsha, you just told me I said, let's get a Housewife.
Who said that? - She said that he yelled out,
put it in a Housewife's grave.
- Oh. You misheard me.
I did not say he said it today.
I want to sort of throw a little bit of gas
on Michael's fire.
- The Secret Traitor's role was revealed.
They will decide which players
are on the short list for murder.
You must select who to murder only from this list.
- "You must murder one of the following players tonight."
You, Ian,
Mark, and Eric.
- Who would want me out? - And for what reason?
- The Secret Traitor
could potentially really mess up our game.
I'm thinking Colton. - Imagine if it's Michael.
Look at this handwriting, though.
- That definitely could be Yam Yam.
- I need to know
who the Secret Traitor is.
Reveal yourself. Where are you?
Sir or ma'am, where are you? I don't like it.
So one thing we can sort of cross off the list
is that none of these three people are the Secret Traitor.
- Ian, Mark, or Eric—not. - Yes.
- Such a waste that I was on the list.
- Right. - I know. It's too bad.
It's too bad, 'cause we only get three.
- Yeah.
- Anyway, it's the first murder.
Let's go over the positives of killing
Ian...
Mark, or Eric.
- Well, let's go in order. - OK.
- So start with Ian. - Ian.
- He's smart. He's capable of causing some damage.
- Yeah, Ian would be great 'cause he is a gamer.
And we could take one of the gamers out.
The positives of murdering Mark...
Random? - Yeah, random.
- It's random. - Yeah.
- And it puts everybody on edge because it's like,
well, if they took Mark and he's so nice,
I could be next. - Right. Right.
- Eric.
- He's very intelligent.
- But Eric is kind of low-key. - Very.
- So it's like, it would make people sort of sit up and say,
why Eric?
Eric makes no sense. - Right.
- It creates confusion. - Right.
- It could be any of those three.
- Yeah.
Who should we pick?
- That was a lot.
But we all agree on our first murder.
- Yes, we do.
- Yes.
- Here we go.
- Let's do it.
- Rest in peace.
- The person that we decided to murder tonight
had to go.
Their time was up.
The check was cashed.
They're gonna go play blackjack with Jesus.
- It's a new day in my castle,
and the Traitors are still in the dark
about the identity of the Secret Traitor.
But they do know which Faithful was murdered
and won't be coming to breakfast.
- Oh, we're first. - Are we first?
- We're first. We're first. - We're the first ones?
Oh, wow.
- Look at this.
- I literally am the first knock on the door
and the first one to walk in, and it's iconic.
Oh, my gosh.
- Look at this spread.
- I'm nervous, but I'm being Lisa fucking Rinna.
So, you know...
- The first people to have breakfast in Alan's castle.
- Yes. - Feels right.
- Did you sleep well? - Enough, you know.
- Yeah, knowing we had a shield.
- Yeah. - I was wondering, though,
like, I can't believe somebody
is actually getting murdered. - I know.
The game is, like, starting, for real, for real.
- I'm really hoping that Rob C and Ian come through that door
because they're gamers.
The more of them that are here, the less likely, hopefully,
someone will look at me.
- I wanted to know 'cause I missed it last night—
I walked past the kitchen. I saw something going on.
- Oh, with Michael? - Yeah.
- Hmm.
- So after the mission, in the car, Porsha—
what she thought she heard from Candiace is,
when they were looking for someone's grave
to put the casket in, Michael yelled,
put it in a Housewife's grave. - Housewife.
Yeah, but Candiace goes... - And Candiace says...
- I didn't say that. - I didn't say that.
- Oh, shit.
- And Porsha was like, yes, you did.
- I think Candiace has to be careful.
As Traitors, we have to remind ourselves
to not be the center of attention.
- Oh. - Oh.
- Oh, my God.
- Hey! - Oh, my gosh!
- Good morning!
- Fabulousness is still in the building.
OK, this is a beautiful breakfast.
I'm looking at the food and everything.
I'm getting distracted.
I'm gonna take one more egg. I like three eggs.
I really need to pay attention
to every little thing, because I want to be bold
and I want to be very strategic.
- We're filling Caroline in
about the kitchen yesterday.
- Oh, the "kitchuation"? - Oh, yes.
- Oh, wait. What's the "kitchuation"?
- Girl, the "kitchuation" with you and Michael.
- You started it, Porsha. - You are the "kitchuation."
- That's light work drama.
I forgot about it.
- Oh.
- Hello.
- Come in!
- Oh, hello.
- Hey! - Hello!
- Hi, guys.
- Hi. - Good morning.
- Hi!
- So this morning at breakfast,
it's powerful to know what's coming,
when the majority of the room doesn't know.
Who's missing?
And it's also kind of trippy,
because I'm also searching for the Secret Traitor.
And I love it.
- Everyone was safe already, right?
No one here had a coffin in their gravesite.
- Everyone here was safe. - Yeah.
- So it's the gravediggers that are left.
- OK.
- Who do you think is not gonna come in?
- There's so many people, and there's big personalities, too.
- Let's not target big-personality people.
I mean, like, we make it fun.
- Yeah, let's not.
- Ah!
- Oh, my God, whose knock is that?
- Come in! - Who is that?
- That's Michael.
- I am so relieved
to finally make it to my first breakfast.
I'm so happy.
I mean, I can barely keep the tears in.
- Aw.
- Oh, baby.
- I'm so happy. - Aw, yay.
- Hi, everyone else.
- Hey, you guys.
- We're also still alive.
- Hi, guys.
- We had to give Dorinda her moment.
- We did. - I love this for you.
- Live to see another day. - We live to see another day.
- Looking around the breakfast table,
I have so many suspicions.
But, also, I am fangirling right now.
It's so amazing to be in a situation
with all these celebrities.
I'm so happy to be here.
Any extra day in the castle is a bonus.
- Rob, I really thought it was gonna be you.
- Yes? - The one murdered.
- I really thought that, too.
- Wait, why did you think Rob?
- He was fucking nervous yesterday.
He wasn't even talking. He was, like, mute.
- I really was nervous, yeah.
Yam Yam was so sure the Traitors
were going to murder me, and it doesn't feel
like he's necessarily on the same team as me.
It feels like he's trying to throw me under the bus.
I'm starting to wonder if Yam Yam is a Traitor.
- So wait a second. Who are we waiting for?
- Ian, Eric,
Rob, Mark, and Michael.
- And Michael. - That's five.
- Who's not coming through the door?
- Mark and Eric... - Oh, Eric.
- Would be like a wild card.
Like, why, you know? - Yeah, yeah.
- I think maybe Ian.
- I say Ian or Eric.
- Oh!
- Who is it?
- Come in!
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- Oh!
- Good morning!
- Oh!
- Whoa! - Rob!
- Top of the morning. - Yay!
- Oh, my God.
- Top of the morning to you, Dorinda.
- Michael made it! - Wait. Who is it?
- It's Ian. It's Ian. - It's Ian.
- No way. You're lying.
- Oh, my God. - I'm gonna cry!
- I think the best course of action to keep the scent
off of us is to murder Ian. - I agree.
- He really didn't want to let off how smart he is,
but he's a genius. - He won "Big Brother."
- Yes, he did. - Yeah.
We need non-threats in the game.
- Yeah. - I think so, too.
- Yeah. Agreed. - OK.
- Rest in peace.
- Yep. I knew it.
Son of a gun.
"Dear Ian, by order of the Traitors,
"you have been murdered.
Signed, the Traitors."
I had a feeling that was gonna be the case.
I just don't know what I could have done differently.
But you know what?
This is the biggest backhanded compliment in this game.
That's basically all I have to say.
- Oh, shit, Ian.
- Well, I guess we have to raise a glass to Ian.
- To Ian. - To Ian.
- He was so sweet.
- To Ian. - To Ian.
- I have to speak on Ian's behalf.
Who he was in here is just genuinely who he is.
It was really hard for him to come here.
He came because he said he wanted to face his fears.
I don't know. I feel bad for him.
I hope he doesn't, like, take it...
- Personal. - Hard. Yeah.
- Shame on you, murderers! Shame on you, murderers!
I don't know much about Tiffany.
And the fact that she made such a big deal
out of Ian going really sort of confuses me.
I sort of get that they're from the same show,
but I'm not really trusting it.
- Somebody in here is heartless.
- Yeah.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh.
- Yes. Yes.
- Good morning, players. Good morning.
- Welcome to my bottomless bountiful buffet.
- Love it.
- Of course, there is some sad news.
We're out of sourdough.
- [sighs, chortles]
- Oh, and Ian's dead.
Ah, poor, wretched, brilliant, lovely Ian.
So cruelly ripped from our arms.
He's with the angels now.
- Jesus. - Anyway...
- Oh, Lord.
- Onwards and upwards.
Polish off your sausage.
It's time to leave your seats at the table.
Let's hope you're ready to be thrown into the next mission.
- OK.
- Are we throwing something?
- Thrown. The word "thrown."
- No, I don't want to be thrown.
- No, we're gonna be catapulting, don't you think?
- No. I want Rob R. to throw me.
- Whoa. - Ah!
- Ooh!
- Me next. - Yes!
- What?
- I really want to know who the Secret Traitor is.
I need to look for people to make a mistake.
I need to be paying attention to everything that's going on.
Is that cashmere?
- That ain't snakeskin, baby. - No, it ain't.
I think, right away, Michael was already in my head
because he was just spouting off
person after person after person.
I don't trust him. He's shifty.
- Let's go.
- That was not a good night's sleep,
and it was a really quick breakfast.
- Feel like we slept well last night
'cause we were safe. - Oh, so well, so safe, yeah.
- Now I'm, like, scared.
- Hey, I made it. - You did it.
- I made it. - Hi, Donna.
- Oh, I feel bad. - About Ian?
- I'm so sad for him. Yeah.
I'm so fucking scared.
- Tonight's gonna be a scary night to do a vote.
So they chose Ian, so let's think about that.
- Like, why?
- What are we chatting?
- We were saying, it's so hard.
It's just speculation at this point.
I haven't formed any real opinion.
- I have nothing.
I do not—I cannot—
I can look at each person, and I cannot get a feel.
Like, I feel real crazy because I also thought
it could have been Ian, and he's the one I killed.
Like, now I'm— I was sitting at the table
in there looking at everybody.
And I'm like, I don't see nothing.
- Porsha slipped up.
She said, I killed Ian.
Maybe that was a bit of a slip of the tongue, just a mistake.
But it's a little suspicious to me.
- Here's what the thing is.
Michael, if he's not a Traitor, is not a great Faithful
'cause he's so— - He's so bad.
- He just distracts. - And he's too eccentric.
He's not gonna work with us to help us find anybody.
- I don't think it's Michael.
- Is there anyone else you've thought of
that you're thinking about that might be treacherous?
- Donna. - Really?
- I've been watching her the entire time.
Only someone who feels safe
doesn't feel like they need to make connections.
- She's not talking game to anybody.
- And I'm sorry, today at breakfast, she was so quiet.
And at the roundtable, as soon as we took off masks,
her face was, like, so lifeless.
And she changed. - She changed.
Everybody's scared to say her name.
I'm not scared of Michael. I'm scared of the Swifties.
I really love Donna.
She reminds me a lot of my mom.
But I also want to be somebody who helps get a Traitor out,
because I feel like that would help my game.
And if she is one, I want to be the one to help bring her down.
- We were trying to figure out who the hell
we're gonna vote for tonight.
- We have to vote for somebody tonight?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Now it starts.
There's, like, a consistent two times every single day.
- Two people a day will disappear.
- Which is bad, because if we kill a Faithful at banish...
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, it's gonna be two Faithfuls out each day.
- Oh, jeez. Was that just a slip?
Yeah, it could have just been off the cuff
and she wasn't really paying attention
to what she was saying.
- I'm gonna go suss some things out.
- Yes.
- Or did she really—
was that just her not being careful?
- Now, I'm gonna say something.
When I was sitting here and we were talking
and Porsha was kind of holding court,
she said that, "When I killed Ian last night."
- There was another miswording, too, before you came in.
- That might be something to talk to people about.
Got to be careful 'cause—
- 'Cause we don't know who's gonna try to protect her.
- Mm-mm.
- Porsha has been caught in a couple of slipups.
- It's like a—
- Freudian slip. - Freudian—yeah.
- When you combine it with the argument
that she set off with Michael, it makes me very suspicious.
Porsha, I think you're a Traitor.
- Mission time. - Here we go.
- Ready? - Show me the money.
- In today's mission, the players will not only have
another chance to earn money for the prize pot,
but they'll also have the opportunity
to fight for the all-important shields,
protecting them from murder.
- Michael's name was getting thrown around all the time.
But then everyone was like, it would be
a terrible Traitor move to just talk that much.
However, if there's one person that would talk that much
as a Traitor, it would be him.
- I think it's Porsha.
It's just hard to find who to trust,
because I saw some people who I know heard it,
and they didn't react at all.
- I'm not saying anything else to anybody, just with you guys,
because that's all I know I can trust.
I'm trying to form relationships with individuals
that feel comfortable with me.
You know, I think Ron and I get along.
Travis worked on a show with Ron,
so I know he's a good guy.
That might be the wrong strategy,
but that's where I'm headed at this point.
- So what do you guys think about the mission today?
- I don't think there's enough safety right now for anybody
to prioritize money over a shield.
- Yam Yam, you are shady!
Honey, you'd be a good Housewife.
- I'm a "Survivor" winner.
So if there's a shield in this mission, I'm gonna have it.
- There's chairs. - It's a throne.
- Oh, boy. - Ooh.
- Oh, my God, look at Lala.
- If anyone belongs in a throne, it's me.
- I'm like, should horses be pulling these?
But I have a feeling we are going to be pulling these.
- Greetings, players.
In your mission today, you must work together
to transport these three thrones back to my castle.
- What? - No way.
- Maybe I should have gotten murdered.
- Do you see how far the castle is from here?
How cruel, Alan.
- On your way, you will come across three different stops,
where you will have the chance to find
and collect bags of gold—
$24,000 worth of gold, to be precise.
You must safely deposit these bags
into one of the thrones' chests.
Now, herein lies the rub.
- Here we go.
- These are not only regal thrones.
They are shield thrones.
Three of you will travel back to the castle
sat high upon them.
By sitting on a throne,
you will be shielded from tonight's murder.
But how long can you hold on to that seat?
As hidden at each gold stop,
there are two of these.
Shield tokens.
If you manage to find one of them,
you can use it to swap places
with any player sitting on a throne.
- Oh, wow. - Wow.
- Ooh. - OK.
- Only the three players
sat on the thrones when you reach my castle
will be protected from murder tonight.
But listen carefully. - OK.
- If you all fail to get back to the castle
within 45 minutes, you will earn nothing.
- What? - No gold.
- Wow. - No shields.
- All right.
- And to make it just a little tougher on you all,
I will not be giving you any time checks today.
So it will be up to you... - Oh, shit.
- To try and track how long you have left.
- Well, I need my watch.
- You must now decide amongst yourselves
which three players
will start the mission seated upon the thrones,
and therefore initially protected from murder.
- The lightest people. - Yep, I agree.
- I got a little new booty when I had my baby.
- Hey, OK, come on, new booty. - But I'm still petite.
- Most likely, if you're starting,
you probably are not finishing on that thing.
Just throwing that out. - I'll get on. I don't care.
- OK. One, two, and a third person.
- OK. - And Candiace? OK, great.
- Tiffany, Candiace, and Caroline,
come and take these shields
and take your places next to the throne.
Good luck.
I will be back at my castle drinking a hot toddy.
Taxi!
- Oh, my God. - Oh, my God.
- Oh, wow.
- Yes.
- Are you ready, Lala?
Come on. - Aw.
- Oh, Lala. - Lala.
- Oh, bye, Alan.
- Later, taters.
- Yeah!
- I want to go in that. - All right, team.
- If I can stop a shield from being taken by the Faithfuls
and sit my ass down for an entire mission
and no one asks any questions,
this is a win.
Let's get some money!
- I'm keeping track of time. Time and money.
- I'm scared!
- Go! Go! Go! Go!
- Go! - Whoo!
- In this mission, we have to keep time ourselves.
If we do not make it to the castle within 45 minutes,
we get nothing.
All right, we're about two minutes in.
Just giving y'all a time check.
- Watch the side! - Oh, shit.
- I don't have a watch, but it's in my head.
Y'all are doing amazing.
I'll keep track of the time.
You do all the work.
Oh, my ass!
- How is it, Caroline?
- It's very bumpy.
- Watch out. There's a ditch.
- Oh, my God.
My uterus!
- All right, guys, we're almost here at the first stop.
- Watch out. Stop. Stop. Stop. - Stop. Stop. Stop.
- "Search the orchard for $8,000
of gold and shield tokens."
- All right. Let's go! - Go!
- OK. - Go! Go! Go!
- Go deep in there. Go deep.
Oh.
I want a shield. I want a rest.
I don't want to be up for murder tonight.
I was just up for murder.
Nothing. Nothing, Porsha?
Fuck. Is there nothing in trees?
There's nothing.
- I found it! Money, money!
- Throw the money! - Yeah, throw it over.
- I got it. - Guys, I got $1,000!
- Oh, right here, right here, right here.
I don't think it's a great strategy to start sitting
on the thrones early on because the probability
of somebody else finding a shield token
is much higher.
So I'll definitely go hard for the gold in one and two.
And then on the third stop,
I'm going strictly for the shield token.
I got $1,000. I got $1,000.
- I found a token!
I should have used this.
Lisa, use this! I shouldn't get in the car.
- OK, OK, OK.
- Me getting in that throne and having them carry me to—
God knows how far the next checkpoint is—
would be ridiculous,
and I think the whole group would resent me.
So I gave it to Lisa Rinna.
She was the first tiny person I saw,
so she can get in the chariot.
- I have a shield. Get up. - Bitch.
- I have $500.
- I got $500. - $500.
- Oh, I found a token.
Dorinda, here, take it.
- Oh, my gosh, thank you. - Take it. Take it.
I want no part of sitting on the throne.
It just doesn't feel right, as a heavy male,
just taking a token right away.
Not really comfortable with that.
Wasn't raised that way.
I know my mom would be much more proud of me
if I actually handed off the shield to a lady
and let them sit on the throne.
- I'm taking your throne 'cause I'm exhausted.
- OK, Dorinda. Really?
I want to stay in this throne.
It sucks, because any shield that is kept
out of a Faithful's hands is good for us.
- $500 left. - I've got $500!
- Oh, we're good. We're good.
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! - Maura has it.
- I have it! - We got $8,000? Good job.
- Let's go! Let's move! - Let's go.
- Let's go! - You OK?
- Yep. - Oh, my God, we got $8,000!
- Whoo! - Whoo!
- What do you think time-wise, like, seven minutes?
- We're at, like— that was ten minutes, I think.
- OK.
- Yeah, we're at the ten-minute mark.
- Let's fight this hill.
- Push, guys. Come on. - Push, guys, push!
- Oh, my God, fuck this. - OK, here we come.
- I see it. - Stop here!
- Slow, slow, slow, slow. - Stop! Stop!
- "Search the bank of the river for $8,000
of gold and shield tokens."
- Here we go. - All right, let's go. $8,000.
- What are the ropes for? - Pull those ropes!
- Oh, we have to pull these ropes?
- Oh, shit, there are gonna be frogs and turtles and shit.
- I got $500. - I got $500.
- Let's go! You can do it!
- Oh, shit. There's a bucket.
- What is that?
- I got a token! - You got it?
- I got a token!
Here, you want to take that? - Oh. Oh.
Back where I belong.
You're the only one that hasn't been out.
- I am. You deserve a break.
- I got money. - I found $500!
- Grab multiple ropes at a time.
- Yeah. - Pull 'em in.
- How do you open it?
I got a token! Shield for me!
Shield token.
I don't care who I take off.
Get off my seat!
- I'm off, girl.
- Get off the throne, Dorinda.
I am now the queen.
Could I get a foot rub?
- We have $3,000 more to go.
$3,000? - Guys, come on. We suck.
- In the grass. It's in the reeds also.
- Oh, it's in the weeds.
- $500!
- How are we on time?
- We're about at 18, 19 minutes.
- I say leave and let's go. - Let's go!
It's too much time! - Let's go!
- I don't know how close we are to that 45 minutes,
but I know that our time is in jeopardy.
- Let's go, guys!
- Straight up. Now it's uphill.
- All right, one more. - Pace yourselves.
- Going uphill at the end is diabolical.
- Oh, my God.
- Come on, guys. You got it.
- Breathe, guys. Deep.
In deep, out deep.
- All right, buckle up, bitches—let's go!
- You're doing great. You guys are doing great.
- Final stretch!
- One more stop.
- All right, stop!
"Search the forest
for $8,000 of gold and shield tokens."
- OK, let's go. - I'm gonna get the shield.
- This is my last shot.
I have to get into that forest
so I can find a shield token immediately
and get back to the chariot.
I got $500. - Got $500.
- I got $500 more. - $500!
- I got a token.
- Colton, you have a shield? - Yeah.
- Colton, don't you dare.
- Feels like a rose that I'm about to fucking hand out.
- Colton, please.
- Lisa, I'm gonna use yours. - Ugh!
- I'm pretty close to Maura and Caroline at this point.
And Lisa is someone who is definitely on my radar,
so it's a relatively easy decision for me.
- Are you sure? Ple—oh, really?
- I just walked up here, and you're number one.
- I cannot believe it.
I have been dethroned by a big, burly football player.
I don't like it.
- I got $500! - Nice.
- I'm really nervous 'cause I'm thinking I want
to have a lovely night's sleep, not thinking of being murdered.
I'm so close.
- $500!
- Move around the bushes. I got $500 more!
- Is it under here?
Anything hanging?
Could it be somewhere obvious?
- Token! - Holy crap.
- $500! - Thank you.
- I started walking, and Yam Yam looks over
at me with his puppy dog eyes.
Like, I just had to give it to him.
And the thing is, I don't trust Yam Yam at all.
But he might be the Secret Traitor.
So it could potentially earn favor with him
and help me in the long run.
And if that happens, then great.
- I'm gonna take someone out.
- They're not gonna kick you out.
- No, don't.
You wouldn't. You wouldn't.
Yam Yam just keeps going...
Why?
Don't take me off the seat.
Yam Yam, no. Please.
- I'm gonna take someone out.
- They're not gonna kick you out.
- Yam Yam, no, don't.
You wouldn't. You wouldn't.
- Can you forgive me?
- Please don't. - Can you forgive me?
Nobody's saying you're a threat.
- I'm shocked at you, Yam Yam.
- I'm really afraid.
- I think I should have the shield.
- They've gone.
- I will get up for you.
Yeah, I—please forgive me.
I need safety. I need safety.
- Excuse me. Hold on. Hold on a second.
- He already put it in there.
- It was his fault. - All right. OK.
I see some bullshit. - I'm with you.
- I absolutely wanted to get on the throne.
I thought everybody would sort of have a chance
to say why they should get a shield
and why they need a shield.
That wasn't gonna happen.
You see what's happening, Rinna?
I'm fuming at Yam Yam.
You're trying to show to everyone
that you really need a shield.
I just don't think that his reason is good enough.
That is making me feel even more so that you're a Traitor.
- Did we get all the money?
- That's got to be close to it. Let's get going!
Let's go! - Let's go, guys.
- Y'all need somebody strong up here
to push Colton's big ass.
- Let's go!
- Turn, turn, turn! - Whoa!
- Let's go!
- Oh, my fucking God.
- We don't have a clock.
We don't know how much time we have left.
So we're pushing and pulling these heavy-ass chariots.
We don't need giant guys also sitting in the chairs.
- Oh, my God.
Jesus. - Ugh!
- This is a tough mission. - Bravo!
Come on, everybody! You can do it!
Come on. Just one last push.
- Ugh. - Push! Push!
- We don't get back in time, we get nothing.
And so then all of that searching,
all of the money we've collected is a waste.
- Go! Go! Go! Go! - Let's go!
- Push this shit!
- Go! - Hurry, hurry!
- Whoo! - We did it.
- I feel like we crushed that. - Oh, my God.
- We crushed that. - Sweaty hugs all around.
- We did that. - Nice job.
- Come in. Come in. Come in.
You've crossed the finish line.
Congratulations, one and all.
But did you return within the 45 minutes?
You aced it.
Still 10 minutes left on the clock.
- What? - Well done, everybody.
- Should we go back and look for money?
- You've added $22,500 to your prize pot.
Yam Yam, Caroline, and Colton,
you are sitting very pretty indeed,
as you are protected from murder tonight.
How's everyone feeling?
- I'm just curious how we figured out
who got the final shields
to protect them from murder tonight.
At one point, Maura was in the chair.
And then her and Yam Yam decided to switch out.
I feel extremely vulnerable.
If you need a shield, you should feel like
you're in a vulnerable position.
Do you feel like you're in a vulnerable position?
- I am. I would not have done it otherwise.
- I think this is a good thing to discuss
at the roundtable later. - Yes.
- Exactly.
I know people are gonna say that I'm selfish.
But anybody that ended up in the chariot
was gonna be selfish.
But Michael made a whole freaking scene
in front of everyone.
Like, let us play.
Like, it's not about you.
Like, literally Traitor behavior.
- But now it's time to get back inside,
because your first banishment is upon us,
your first taste of democracy at my roundtable.
And unlike today, all of you will be guaranteed a seat.
In you go. - All right.
- Thank you. - Good job, guys.
We killed it, though, on the challenge.
- Yam Yam's reaction is very defensive.
I don't trust him at all.
None. Zero point zero. Nothing.
If I had a token in my hand, I would have—
- Sat on the throne? No sweat?
Knocked somebody off and jumped on there?
- No, I would have stated my case about the token.
- Oh, that's what I'm talking about.
- I know. - I just want to sit.
- I need to eat in peace for a second.
- I needed a second, too. Wow.
- Have you heard any names, Donna?
How are you feeling? - Me?
- Yeah.
- Well, I don't know.
That's a good question. It's kind of soon to tell.
- I'm like, nobody?
There's not a single person in this game
that you're like, mm, maybe them?
- OK. - I got you.
- Yeah, so— - Here, do you want—
- She's not coming with anyone's name.
She's not really helping find anything out.
That feels very shady.
- Here comes Porsha.
- In my group, Porsha is the way
that we're going to be voting.
But in the castle, you have to be really careful
because you don't know who the Traitors are.
And I don't know who's gonna go running to Porsha.
OK, is that still the plan?
- So far.
I'm just gonna ask questions.
I don't have a full vote, but I'm gonna bring it up
and ask questions. - OK. That's what I'll do.
Hopefully we throw the table into some discussion about it
and maybe change some minds.
At this point, all we can do is plead our case and—
- Play the game.
- Yep.
- So what are we gonna do?
- Oh, gosh.
- Come on, I need direction.
- You don't think it's Donna?
- No.
- You don't think? - I don't.
Listen, she's 74.
She's with a bunch of people she doesn't know.
- Yeah, Donna's been on TV. - No, but I'm saying—
- She's actually been very talkative to me.
And, quite frankly, the Swiftie thing scares me.
- It's such a hard call.
- Yeah.
I have my suspicions that Donna
could be the Secret Traitor.
She just seems a little nervous.
So I'm kind of torn.
Do I spare her and choose a random person
because she could be one of us?
Or do I just vote her out because that
would be iconic to get a Traitor
at the beginning of this game?
- Who do you think it's between tonight at the roundtable?
- Well, I'm gonna say myself.
- And? - That, I don't know.
- I'll tell you the other name I heard.
- What?
- Donna. - Wow.
- I've yet to hear Donna talk game at all—
a little bit of a red flag.
- So you feel like her name is definitely
going down on some cards tonight?
- Like, she's gonna have to talk at the roundtable,
for sure. - Yeah.
- Right now, unfortunately, at the top of my list
for not trusting is...
Donna.
I hate even saying that out loud.
It breaks my heart, because on paper,
I would keep Donna every single time.
But the unfortunate part of this game is,
it's not black-and-white.
Can I ask, like, what your plan is tonight at the table?
- You know what, Colton?
After tonight, when you see how I handle myself as a Faithful,
you'll know, Michael is a Faithful
and he keeps it real.
I'm expecting to be questioned,
and I'm expecting to have to duke it out and defend myself.
But that is something I am ultra-comfortable with.
Trust me, I make it through tonight.
Trust me.
- Where are you on Michael right now?
- Michael? - Yeah.
- I don't think he's a Traitor. - I don't think he is either.
- Whoever the Traitor is, it's probably the one
going around saying Michael, Michael, Michael,
because they want us to vote him out, and he's a Faithful.
- Do you think he's the next-level Traitor
that we've never seen before?
- I mean, he's a professional actor—it's possible.
- First of all, there's four of them, right?
There's at least four. There's four.
- I'm hearing Porsha say there's four Traitors.
How does she know that?
We don't know how many Traitors there are, unless you are one.
I'm more concrete now than I ever was.
I feel like we're about to be the first Faithful
in the history of the game
to get a Traitor on our first night.
And I can't wait. Sorry, Porsha.
- Going into the first roundtable,
my priority is definitely to protect my fellow Traitors.
It's kind of weird we could vote out the Secret Traitor.
And I have no idea who it is.
- It's really early to kind of say,
I know for 1,000% that Donna is a Traitor,
but I have that feeling.
And I need to make sure I voice that.
- I have no idea if Porsha is a Traitor or not,
but we have to bring it up.
And it is very daunting, you know,
because I'm kind of an outlier.
I don't really fit with any particular group.
I'm not a gamer or anything exciting.
I'm just a mom.
- "The first duty of society is justice,"
said Alexander Hamilton.
And so here we are.
Don't throw away your shot, players.
The tear-stained pages of "Traitors" history
are filled with the blood of the innocent at this table.
And what a triumph it would be
if you caught a Traitor on the opening page.
Look around you.
Who at the table has your back?
And who would sooner stab you in it?
Who, in short...
Is a Traitor?
Players, the floor is yours.
- OK, can I just say something?
So I told myself, follow your gut in this game.
And if you have something that you feel is true, just say it,
because as Faithfuls, we can't be scared to say things.
We have to take everything into account.
- Yep. - Donna...
you popped up on my radar.
This is me speaking, not knowing you
but just observing.
Since the roundtable... - Mm-hmm.
- When we all took off our blindfolds,
I just saw the stress in your face.
And the personality is just a little bit less friendly
and almost like a stressor.
- You're gonna be just wasting a vote.
I feel that sometimes I shouldn't just barge in
when there's conversations going on.
That's just my personality.
Sometimes I'm way up here. Sometimes I'm there.
It's kind of sad because I'm not attached
to anyone else here. - Yeah.
- I'm all alone, you know, low-hanging fruit.
Who would get out people
that really don't have anyone else to back them up?
- Low-hanging fruit
doesn't mean you're not a Traitor, though.
- Well, I'm gonna just present to all of you.
I do have three pieces of evidence that I'll present.
So, on our first mission, when we came back from the graves,
there was a misunderstanding about what Candiace
had said to Porsha
about whether or not Michael had said,
let's get the caskets and the Housewives.
And there was a bit of a thing
that went back and forth, back and forth
that ended up with you saying maybe you misheard.
- Mm-hmm.
- Then after Ian passed away,
there were a couple of times,
when you talked about the Traitors,
you said, "When I murdered Ian last night."
- Who said that? - Who said that?
- Porsha.
- Me? - You did.
A couple of times.
And now again, at dinner tonight,
I heard you say, "There's four Traitors, right?"
It wasn't like, oh, there could be.
And I was wondering... - How do you know?
- How would you know that? - Yeah.
- Well, I'm not a Traitor. I'll start with that.
But I'll also say I did probably misspeak.
Like, I'm trying to figure out the game,
and I'm trying to mostly put my mind in the mind of them
to try to think about, what would they do?
For the part with Candiace,
I full well thought that Candiace was gonna say
that Michael said, "Put it in a Housewife's grave."
- Well, would you admit that you said this morning—
you did say, "I murdered Ian"?
- I don't remember saying that.
- I heard it. - I heard it.
- Yeah, well, if I said that, I completely misspoke.
I didn't murder anybody. - I think you're lying.
- And you have a right to have your evidence.
And I have a right to respond. - Of course.
- And I, just like everyone else,
would definitely hate to get rid of anybody
that's a Faithful on the first round.
- I'll say I haven't slipped up in any conversation or words
because I'm not in my head going back and forth
whether I'm a Traitor or Faithful
and, what card am I playing now?
- Yes, it's very easy to be a Faithful and talk...
- Yeah, Faithful. - Like a Faithful.
- But it's also easy to have slips.
And this game is a lot.
It's stressful.
I know Porsha.
And I know that she has a habit of saying things
that may be a misremember.
And I do believe that that is where it came from.
With Ms. Donna...
I think it's more black-and-white for me.
You would make a good Traitor.
- That's very nice of you to say.
You would also.
I mean, you're very talkative. You're very presentable.
That is typical Traitor and deflection.
- Why are you so quick to believe
that Donna is off of just
that it would make sense mentally to you?
- Well, Ron, I wasn't quick. It wasn't quick.
Those are my reasons.
You don't have to agree with them nor like them.
- Of course.
- However, those are my reasons.
- But what I'm gonna say is,
I brought three pieces of evidence
that I think are valuable.
Does anyone have anyone other—
that can bring more than—
can you bring more than one piece of evidence?
- That's a good question.
I'll just start off with the conversation
we started outside when I asked about the shield.
I imagined
that there was gonna be a little bit more negotiating,
based on the fact that last night,
myself and eight other people were up for murder.
Now seven other people, because we got rid of Ian.
- Wait. Who's we?
- Yeah, why'd you just say, "We got rid of"?
Does that mean you're a Traitor?
- Let me tell you something, Maura.
I am as Faithful as a Faithful.
- Then why did you say "we"?
- Well, 'cause I said, "We got rid of."
- But we didn't. The Traitors did.
- We all heard that, right? - Yeah.
- We all heard that. - Good.
Go for it. Knock yourselves out.
I'm telling you right now, I'm as—
the most Faithful of the Faithful.
- You literally said "we"-- "when we killed Ian."
- And I've said a lot of things.
- That's a big thing. - Maybe just stop talking.
- Let's not get distracted with that.
- Distracted.
- I said all kinds of shit since I got here.
- OK, whatever. - I ain't no Traitor.
- Let's not lose the plot, OK?
- I'm just curious.
Michael, if you are Faithful, I don't think you realize
that every time you speak, you throw all of us off.
Like, that fact that Yam Yam asked Maura to jump off
doesn't actually affect you.
- Because I wanted my chance to get a shield.
- But is it useful information?
- This is more reasons why, Michael,
we think that you're a Traitor, because you do this stuff
and you throw us off— - Or you're a bad Faithful.
- What we know is, right now, tonight at the table,
you said, "When we killed." - Mm-hmm.
- So I can't verify what Ron heard with—
that he said he heard with Porsha.
- I can. - OK, I'm speaking for me.
I can verify what I heard tonight
is that, at this roundtable with all 22 of us, you said,
"When we killed Ian."
- I am letting you know,
if I get called over there on some bullshit,
I'm gonna quote myself right over there.
- Go for it. Let's see what he says.
- I'm letting you know right now,
I am as Faithful as the Faithful.
- Let's do the vote!
- We're trying to find Traitors, not loudmouths
or not guys you don't like or not guys that step on toes.
- But there's also loudmouth Traitors,
and you might be one of them.
- All right, well, let's do the vote, then.
- Players...
The time for talk is over.
It's now time to vote.
- The evidence for Porsha is way more than any evidence
for Donna or Michael.
She's most likely the Secret Traitor.
What do I do here?
It could help me look like a Faithful.
But you don't vote off a fellow Housewife
right out of the gate.
- You know, I really don't know why they want to banish me,
except that they're not quite sure about who I am.
If I get out of this roundtable,
it's going to be a miracle.
- The votes are locked.
We start the vote with Donna.
Donna, who do you think is a Traitor and why?
- I picked Porsha just for the simple reason of what—
things that I heard.
And that's really all I have to go on right now.
- Eric.
- Porsha.
- Monét.
- I went with Michael.
- Candiace.
- I chose Donna.
- Johnny.
- Donna, I think you're perfectly placed
to be an extremely gifted Traitor.
And I'm so sorry I had to vote for you.
- Kristen. - I voted for Donna.
- Tiffany.
- This actually does say Michael.
- Yam Yam.
- I voted for Michael...
because you asked for it.
- Dorinda, who do you think is a Traitor?
- I voted for Donna.
- Michael.
- Porsha, just because of that flub-up.
And I hate doing it.
- Natalie.
- I voted for Donna.
- Rob R.
- I had to go with the facts, so I voted for Porsha.
- Mark.
- I voted for yourself, Porsha.
- Porsha.
- I didn't really have facts on anyone,
but I definitely had my eye on Ms. Donna.
So I did pick you as the Traitor.
- Rob C.
- My vote is for Michael.
You're either the boldest Traitor that the game
has ever seen, or you're holding back
some of the discussions that we need to have here.
- So that's six votes for Donna,
five votes for Porsha,
and four votes for Michael.
Tara...
who do you think is a Traitor and why?
- You'll see from my vote how conflicted I am.
But, Donna, you are so articulate and convincing,
and maybe that would make a good Traitor.
- Stephen.
Porsha, I'm so sorry, but I voted for you.
- Caroline.
- I voted for you, Donna.
- Ron.
- Well, I've been pretty clear about it up front.
I voted for Porsha.
- Maura.
- I went with Porsha.
I can't really get past what Ron said.
It's good evidence.
- So that's eight votes for Donna,
eight votes for Porsha,
and four votes for Michael.
Lisa.
- This is really hard for me.
I came in here hearing Michael's name,
hearing Donna's name.
There was evidence that Ron brought to the table.
And I am so, so sorry, Porsha.
It really pains me to vote for you.
- Colton.
If you vote for Donna, we go to a tie.
If you vote for Porsha or anyone else,
Porsha will be banished.
With the final vote...
Colton, who do you think is a Traitor and why?
- Colton...
who do you think is a Traitor and why?
- The only advantage that the Faithful have in this game
is that you know for certain
that you are a Faithful.
And with the evidence tonight...
I voted for Porsha.
- Porsha, you have received the most votes
and are banished from the game.
Please come forward to the Circle of Truth.
- Oh, jeez.
- Porsha.
- Before you leave my castle forever,
please reveal to us...
are you a Faithful...
or a Traitor?
Um, I just want to say...
I'm the type of person— I fight for people.
I came in, and I tried to fight for the Housewives.
And almost started to feel like I'm gonna be the one
who was gonna help to lead us to find a Traitor
the first time.
I...
am...
A Faithful.
- I knew it. - Oh, my God.
- I knew it. - Oh, crap.
- Anyway, I wish you guys a good game.
- I fucking knew it. - We love you.
- I'm sorry! - Oh, my God.
- Sorry, Porsha.
- Damn. - I knew it. I knew it.
- A Faithful has been banished at our first democratic outing.
Your sorrow, dear Faithful,
has only just begun...
because before the dawn comes creeping in,
the Traitors will have wreaked yet more sorrow
in the most brutal and, indeed, the only way they know how—
bloody murder.
Good night, sweet players,
and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
- But she was ride or die for the Faithful.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
Ugh!
- I wanted to get a Traitor!
- Oh, Ron.
- I was convinced with the evidence.
- I thought I had clear and true evidence.
Instead, I sent a beautiful woman home.
Oh, I hate it. I don't like it at all.
And I put myself out there.
So I think now—
I think that's gonna put a target on my back.
- Porsha ain't no damn Traitor. Like—
- I never thought she was a Traitor.
- She could never be a Traitor. She's too expressive.
She's too emotional.
- Who's the Traitor, then, Candiace?
- Well, now I'm looking at Ron funny.
Housewives turned against each other...
- They did, yeah. - In public.
- Yeah. - OK?
- That's bad. - Really bad.
- Ron came in here quiet as hell, acting like—
- He did. - Like a mute.
- And then he finally got up there with something to say.
- And then he got to that table and said...
- Ron is a silent killer.
Porsha was nowhere— nowhere on my radar.
That shouldn't have happened.
We now have Ron running the show.
And if the Secret Traitor is Ron,
I'm gonna clock his ass.
- For the most— every person that's, like,
at the roundtable, it's like, we're all gonna have to go
through that at some point. - Yeah.
- Hey, you did a good job, Donna.
- I appreciate it. It was difficult.
- You got thrown into the fire tonight.
- I have to say,
it was very daunting to be up there.
And there's a lot of people here that I'm fans of.
I almost feel like I'm not worthy.
- You are mo— - No.
- You are, like, the mother of America, Donna.
- But that's the way I feel.
I did the same thing to Paul McCartney
at the Super Bowl. - Oh.
- I just went— - Humblebrag, Donna.
Humblebrag.
You just dropped it. I don't know.
- The first banishment and the first blood
has gone to the Traitors.
And the bloodshed will soon continue.
What the Traitors don't know is that they're going to have
to work a little bit harder for tonight's murder.
But as I always say, no risk, no reward.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God, my heart's pounding.
Hold on a second.
- "Dear Traitors, tonight you must murder in plain sight."
- Oh, my God.
- "In the kitchen, there are tarot cards
"hidden behind a portrait.
"These cards represent the players
"the Secret Traitor has short-listed for murder.
"You must find these cards and discuss
with your fellow Traitors who to murder."
What?
- "You must then take the card of the player
you want to murder and burn it in the breakfast room"?
- "Burn it in the breakfast room"?
- "If successful, you will have earned the right
"to meet the Secret Traitor and be united tomorrow.
If you're unsuccessful, there will be no murder tonight."
Oh, my God.
- "And you will not meet the Secret Traitor,
"and you will not have any control
over tomorrow's murder."
This is—
- This is risky.
- Like, I'm not an arsonist.
How am I supposed to light some shit on fire?
Like, how do I do that and not look like a lunatic?
- Ah, whatever, I came to play.
Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it.
- Oh, my God! Holy fucking shit.
- We are being tasked with pulling off
the greatest murder in "Traitors" history.
It is incredibly stressful.
I've had a whole glass of wine,
and I have to now turn on my bad bitch
and serve.
- You OK?
- How you doing? - I need some water.
- You want to sit?
- I liked you at the roundtable.
- Huh?
- I liked what you said at the roundtable.
- Yeah, you were very eloquent. - What?
I blanked. What did I say?
It's a lot of pressure to keep your eyes
from darting around the room and shifting
and looking for hinges on picture frames on walls.
- Now what?
- What are you up to? - I don't know.
I'm just really nervous about who they're gonna kill tonight.
- Rob, catch me.
- What is happening?
I was ready. - I'm kidding.
- Oh, I was gonna do it. - I broke something.
- I thought we were gonna do "Dirty Dancing."
- We we're going to, but then I just went into, like—
it's so tense and hot in this place.
- Yeah. - I love that.
I'm feeling nervous
because there's a lot of people in the kitchen.
We got to make a plan.
- I just happened to be in that room and heard that...
- Yeah. - Yesterday.
- And, I mean, that would make my ears perk up.
- Yeah. - Yeah, I mean, you know,
it was just the way the sentence was laid out.
It was just like, wait, it didn't feel like—
- Yeah. I went, what did she just say?
- Luckily, I knew which painting it was
just by looking at 'em.
It was the reaper one, obviously.
- Ha!
- My emerald fell off when I was running,
and I just found it.
- Oh, God. Come on, I would have never seen that.
- It would've sucked.
- We want to gain full power over the short list
and meet the Secret Traitor.
Come on.
Come on, you two.
But it feels impossible.
What the hell? Like, how?
- Why would a Faithful say, "I killed Ian"?
I was done then.
- I mean, it all would've been good if it turned out good.
- You can't blame yourself for that.
- I'm standing in the bar, just not sure,
like, how I'm gonna get everybody
away from the kitchen.
What is my game plan? Do I pass out?
Do I burst into tears because I'm so distraught over Porsha?
I'm running through my mind and all of these things,
and then it hits me.
You know, this would be a great time
for the conga line!
- Ah! Yes, it would! - Yeah!
- Oh, my God. Yes.
- Duh.
Of course it makes sense to do a conga line.
Why the hell not?
- You are crazy.
You're crazier than I am.
- This is the perfect time for the conga line.
- I'm ready. - We need to gather the troops.
- I need some fun. - OK, ready?
- Do we start in here, though?
- Yeah. Let's just keep going.
- Come on. - Wait.
- You guys, let's do it. - No. Everyone has to join.
- Hey. - Hey, come here.
Do you have a second?
I hear a conga line start in the bar.
Something feels off.
I'm scared the Traitors
might be doing a murder in plain sight.
- You're about to make my stomach hurt.
- Yeah, but they're in there.
Like, let's stay away from there.
My Spidey senses are tingling tonight,
and I am going to do my best
to not do anything out of the ordinary.
- Don't let 'em hug you or kiss you or—
- Hey!
- Conga line. Hide.
I need Rob and Lisa to do their part.
I need them to get in that kitchen, get these cards,
and figure it out.
Everyone, conga! Come!
Yes! - What?
- Hey!
- Come on, Rob!
- Yeah, I'm not— I'm not doing this.
Fuck, yeah.
- All right. I'm out of breath.
- The Secret Traitor has short-listed Monét,
Rob C, Tara...
and Kristen.
Now we need to decide who to murder.
My heart's beating out of my chest.
But, honestly, I'm having,
like, some of the most fun I've ever had in forever.
It's like catching snakes.
Like, this is kind of scary, but it's fun.
I love it. - Oh, my God.
- You made it happen. - Yeah. Right!
- You made it happen, yeah. - I really wanted to do that.
You know,
it pays to be a little bit extra.
- Do you play chess? - No.
- You want to play? - Yeah.
- I'll teach you. - OK.
- I see the chessboard, and I'm like,
oh, this is the perfect opportunity.
You know, no one's gonna watch us play chess,
and no one's gonna try to talk to us
while we're playing chess.
You know, we're focused.
These are the pawns. - Uh-huh.
And these are the queen. - This is the queen.
- This is the king. - This is the king.
- This is the bishop.
This is the knight.
This is the castle.
- OK.
- Yeah.
- OK.
So... - OK.
- You got me? - Yeah.
Um, which way do you like?
Which one would you choose next to go?
Which forward— like, would you—
- Well, it depends on...
OK, so this is the starting formation.
- This is so insanely tense right now.
I am thinking that right now we could get caught.
- So which one do you move first?
- Um, shoot.
Um...
- I'm concerned that the Traitors could be trying
to do a murder in plain sight.
If somebody asks you to do something unusual,
like if somebody gives you a drink...
- Mm-hmm. - Like, they could be, like—
- We've just shared Skittles. - Oh, these are—
these are regular Skittles.
- You started the conga line, right?
- Yes, I did. - OK. That was your idea.
OK. - Yes.
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
- OK.
OK. - Yeah. Yeah.
That sounds good to me. OK.
- This is boring. - It's so—
you know, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
- It was a pleasure, though.
- Oh, bedtime.
- OK, they did it.
So where the fuck are the cards?
- Oh.
- Lisa and I have finished "playing chess."
- I've never been happier to hear a bell in my life.
- Me too.
- The problem is, we're running out of time.
We're gonna have to go to bed soon.
Good night.
- Pray for me.
- I hope I see you tomorrow. - Night, everyone.
- At any second, somebody could come
through that breakfast door— any second.
- People are right next door.
Kristen is right in the foyer.
- Good night.
- I hope I'm alive in the morning.
- Long day for everybody.
- Yeah.
- We almost ran out of time, but we got it done.
Let's go. Go, go.
- I'm screaming inside because I know it was done.
- Night night.
- But I don't know who.
Who was on the short list?
- I am, like, itching.
Like, my edges are falling out all over the floor.
Who was murdered?
- Coming soon to NBC...
I'm opening the doors of my castle
not to a group of celebrities...
- What? - What?
- But to you, America.
Let battle commence.
Now anyone
can apply to come and play my treacherous game.
So, if you think you've got what it takes
to survive this world of backstabbing and betrayal,
then apply now for a new NBC series

Things are about to get murderous.
