- Previously on "The Traitors"...

Arisa came under fire at the roundtable.

- This was the perfect time for you to stand up for Arisa.

You're throwing her to the wolves.

- She held my hands. We all agreed it was weird.

- Really, Victor?

- And the Faithful sent home one of their own.

- I have and always will be Faithful.

- A slip-up put focus on Sherry.

- We need to start looking at some men.

You know there's not three female Traitors.

- The newest Traitor committed their first murder.

- So who are we gonna do? - I think we take out Logan.

- The mission caused tension to surface...

- I have a name, and I'm gonna drop it.

- You don't get to keep playing this ultimatum.

I'm so tired of it.

- A Traitor's tired of this.

Interesting.

- And put nine players up for murder...

- Oh, no.

- And a Traitor in the spotlight.

- Jay's theory is that it's you.

- If he comes for me, that's gonna be scary.

- I'll be concise this time.

I believe Ms. Katie is a Traitor.

♪ ♪

Over the past four days,

I've been collecting information.

I believe Ms. Katie is a Traitor.

And--

- You're doing it, bro.

- From the time that I saw Ms. Katie in here

at the first roundtable prior to blindfold,

she was sitting upright.

After blindfold, she was down.

- I know you've had your eyes set on me.

And for those that were not at the end of the mission,

you told me you're a Traitor.

- That's right.

- And then at the end, you yell out, it's Kriste.

- Yes, I said it's Ms. Kriste.

♪ ♪

I--I don't know 100% if you're a Traitor, but it's--

I have--I have more.

I'm gonna keep going.

- Wow.

- Ms. Kriste, yesterday, you weren't making eye contact.

- Okay, Jay, can I please just interject?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Listening to your theories and your information

is about as informative and as interesting

as picking gnat crap out of pepper.

- I don't know how you do that.

- And I have had enough.

- Okay.

- You have worn me slap out, Jay.

That's why I cannot make eye contact with you anymore.

- That's okay. I've got some objective stuff.

- Come on.

- Y'all are all--let me finish.

Y'all two are always together.

- That's not true. - I think--

- Let's move on. - Let's move on.

- I think that--

I'm--I'm losing a lot of people.

- Can we move on? - Yeah, go for it.

- You're done? You're done? - Yeah.

- All right.

- I'm sorry.

I think I have actual evidence to say.

I had a conversation with this person yesterday.

And it was you, Sherry.

- Yes.

- We were talking about who we thought the Traitors could be,

and Sherry said they have to stop going after women.

There's no way all three Traitors are women.

And that, to me, was kind of crazy because

how do you know that for sure there are three Traitors?

♪ ♪

- Let me explain that.

I don't think there's four.

I was just thinking--and we've talked with other people.

How many Traitors do you think there are?

Someone said maybe five.

And we're like, oh, that's too many.

So people have been throwing around how many Traitors

they--they think there are.

- The last thing I wanna say is just you have never

suggested a single name to me.

- I have brought theories with other people in this room,

but I'm careful about what I share and who I share it with.

- Okay.

- I will never be the loudest voice in the room.

I will wait until I have something to say.

I've got 40-plus years on a lot of you in this room.

I'm like 65 years old. I'm not gonna be jumping in.

I'm not gonna be--try to be one of the girls, one of the guys.

The last two roundtables, I didn't have anything to say.

So I'm not going to say anything.

I'm just gonna urge you guys, re-examine

how you're gathering your information

and moving forward with it.

That's your homework for this evening.

- Just out of curiosity, now, who do you think is a Traitor?

- I think Jay might be a Traitor

because of all his actions.

Your behavior during this whole game

has been more treacherous than any Traitor.

You seem to delight in creating a crock pot of confusion

that we all simmer in to take us away from our main goal,

which is to find Traitors.

And mission related, I feel safe and sane.

The majority of us sitting around this table,

if we were yelled at, bellowed out by our teammates

to sacrifice ourselves, each gate,

we would have done it.

Every single time, you refused.

You are a detriment to all of us playing this game.

- Okay.

- Sherry, the thing that I'm stuck on is

your behavior has changed so much today.

Like, you went from not talking at all,

and then you just had that, like, extremely eloquent

monologue against Jay.

And I'm like, something switched.

- I think a lot of it came from the fact

that you said nothing yesterday.

- At the roundtable? - Yeah.

- I didn't say anything because I had nothing to say.

But once the mission concluded, I'm like, nope,

ripping the Band-Aid off.

It's coming out.

I was charged up and ready to go.

- I mean, I'm looking at you, Jay,

and it's like, I don't know the intent of your actions.

But then I look at you, Sherry, and the change tonight...

- Wild. - That was a lot.

- Sorry, when I did finally speak,

you guys listened, and you're like,

oh, she must be a Traitor because she's speaking.

- But my only point being, we go off of behavior,

so that's what we have to evaluate.

- But I'm gonna say your evaluations are about to be

off for the third time.

- Players, the time for talk is over.

It is now time to vote.

♪ ♪

We will start the vote with Shane.

Who do you think is a Traitor and why?

- Jay, I believe you're a Traitor.

And if you're not a Traitor, you're just not

helping us find the Traitors.

- Kriste?

- I put Jay.

This is not because you said my name today.

- Yes, ma'am.

- I think that you are a hindrance

to the Faithfuls' game.

- Mark?

- Jay, I voted you as a Traitor.

- Tomica?

- I voted for Sherry.

- Katie?

- Sherry, I also voted for you.

You come in guns a-blazing on Jay.

But I just didn't hear anything apart from the fact

that his actions, his chaos were just aggravating you

to the final point today.

- Victor?

- I wasn't convinced by any of the accusations tonight.

I'm gonna still go with my gut.

Michael, I'm still suspicious of you.

- Abbey B?

- Sherry, my vote is for you.

- So that's three votes for Sherry, three for Jay,

and one for Michael.

Clyde?

- I voted for you, Sherry.

- Michael?

- I voted for you, Sherry.

- Sherry?

- I voted for Jay.

I don't think I need to share any further explanation.

I think--I think I've said enough on that topic.

Thank you.

- Niyyah?

- I voted for you, Jay.

I value people who put their money where their mouth is,

and I bet money that you did not write Katie

or Kriste's name on there.

So then what are you doing?

- Ben?

- Sherry, I voted for you.

- Joe?

- Sherry, I'm sorry.

You know I love you.

are throwing me in a weird way.

Her writing down Sherry and then crossing it out,

I just don't feel like it's real.

- I'm feeling a little scared about the wake tonight.

I'm hoping that me taking such a big shot at this roundtable

earlier and being so horribly wrong

makes the Traitors think that I'm stupid

so they won't murder me.

you want because I don't-- I--like--

- Come on, Kriste!

- Let's go. - Okay, guys.

- Let's go! - Whoo!

- Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.

- The next player safe is

Abby L.

[cheering]

- Yes!

- Each name that's called that isn't mine

just makes my heart beat faster.

And it's--it's awful.

- The next player safe from death is...

Morgan.

- Oh, my God. - Morgan, let's go.

- You're gonna get out. You're gonna get out, bro.

- Come on.

- Yes!

- Come on. You good? You good?

- Well done, Morgan.

Welcome back to life.

- Bro, I'm starting to really rise

in how nervous I am because

there's not that many people left.

Like, I'm doing the math on my fingers.

We're down to, like, only five people left.

- The next player to have dodged death is...

Victor.

- There we go, Victor!

- Get me out of here! Let's go!

[growls] Yes!

Oh!

Oh, that was horrible. How are you doing?

- And so for those underground, their chances of death

have increased.

- Clyde was left.

- Clyde, Niyyah, Joe, and Mark.

Who indeed has this fabulous and not inexpensive

funeral been for?

For one of you, this will be your eternal resting place.

- Oh, God.

- But who was the target of the Traitors' malice?

Who will never see the light of another dawn?

- My heart's beating out of my chest.

I--I can't feel anything but guilt.

Did I go with the wrong person?

It feels awful.

- I can reveal that the Traitors have murdered...

- Oh, God. - No.
