Episode Recap: The Traitors 2026 – A Night of Confrontation and Banishment
The latest episode of The Traitors 2026 witnessed a high-stakes confrontation between Harriet and Rachel, culminating in the former’s banishment from the castle. The night began with a series of intense exchanges that left viewers on the edge of their seats.
Harriet’s Revelations and Confrontation
In a dramatic turn of events during the breakfast scenes, Harriet made two significant revelations. First, she exposed her true identity as a secret barrister and confessed to having written best-selling crime novels. These disclosures aimed at shaking the Faithfuls’ trust in Rachel’s integrity.
However, such bold moves often come with consequences.
Harriet’s second act of defiance involved urging the Faithfuls to consider voting her out during their confessional conversation. Her strategy backfired as she was ultimately banished from the round table, marking a significant setback for her ambitions within the show.

The episode reveals that seven out of the remaining twelve Faithfuls have earned shields, adding to the ongoing struggle over who among them is a Traitor. Rachel and Stephen, along with the other Faithfuls, are left uncertain about their next move.
Their confusion is further intensified by the knowledge that two of the candidates for elimination—Adam, Jessie, and James—already possess shields.
