As per the rules of the game, Claudia explained that the recruitment would take place face-to-face around the castle's fire pit due to her being the last Traitor standing.

After locating the right grave, Leon was unveiled as the final surviving Faithful, meaning Fozia lost the match and was murdered by the Traitors.
As for Linda, following her banishment at the roundtable, Linda revealed her true identity: "Guys I've had the most amazing time, this has been the pinnacle of my life and to experience this at my age and get this far, I've had a whale of a time.
"So, thanks for it," she added, before concluding: "I am a Traitor."
