After that, Freddie confided in Charlotte — who he trusts completely but has converted to being a Traitor — that he suspects Minah most and will bring it up at the Round Table. She said in confessional that she's happy to throw her fellow Traitor under the bus.

Minah learned from Jake that Freddie was targeting her, but also that Alexander was under suspicion as Linda voted for him on her final night, and it could have been her throwing him under the bus.

What to Read Next

The conferring had to be put on hold as the team had to take part in the day's task – naming as a group things like: who is the most under the radar, the most irrelevant, the most two-faced, and the biggest threat.

The group won a fair bit of money in the task, but their answers also caused plenty of drama, as it was designed to do. Leanne was particularly annoyed at being called two-faced.

Things got better for Leanne as she received a shield in a Deal or No Deal-style box-opening, and managed to keep it a secret. With Claudia Winkleman revealing that the night would see the final murder, she felt a lot safer getting through to the final.

At the Round Table, Freddie, Alexander, and Minah all got heat from the players. As the votes were round out, Minah had three votes to Freddie's two when it got down the last person: Charlotte.

As she said in a confessional, Charlotte betrayed Minah and voted against her, meaning the group had finally found the last OG Traitor.

Claudia told the group that after the final murder, tomorrow would feature the final Round Table where the banished player would reveal their identity. Also, one player could receive "an extraordinary power never seen before" that "could turn the entire game on its head."

There's still suspicion about Alexander and Freddie, especially with "pack leader" Jake's new theory there's a male Traitor, which was helpful for Charlotte. Leanne told Charlotte, Frankie, and Jake that she had the shield, which was helpful for Charlotte.

Claudia then gave Charlotte the helpful option to pick a player to recruit or murder, and she went for Freddie (who is a major suspect and easy to throw under the bus).

He accepted, and the two went to the Turret to plan a murder. She withheld the information of Leanne's shield from him, admitting in a confessional that she could easily pin the failed murder on him.

Will Freddie agree to choosing Leanne, and if so, is there any stopping Charlotte?

The Traitors UK season 3 airs its final two episodes tomorrow and Friday on BBC One and iPlayer at 9pm. The third season of the American version drops five episodes on iPlayer on Friday and will premiere new episodes on Fridays, one day after the US.
