Overview
- Episode three ended with the remaining Traitors earning a first meeting with the concealed red‑cloaked player, but the identity was withheld for the next broadcast.
- The series has already logged two murders and two banishments, including the first Traitor ousted early following infighting at the roundtable.
- A covert fingerprinting task on the castle’s family‑tree painting restored the Traitors’ influence over the murder shortlist and triggered the promised rendezvous.
- Fans are dissecting handwriting, phrasing and on‑screen behavior, and some are citing alleged hints from the Uncloaked spin‑off, though these theories remain unconfirmed.
- The BBC says the twist shifts power away from the visible Traitors, and the premiere drew about 6.4 million viewers as interest in the reveal builds toward 7 January.
