Episode 6 (dropping January 22 on Peacock) could deliver the season’s biggest bloodbath yet.

Let’s connect the dots. Tiffany Mitchell’s banishment in Episode 4 came down to one shaky clue: Eric Nam’s “99% certain” laugh ID. It showed how flimsy evidence can sway the whole group.

Then Michael’s “low blow” on Colton Underwood—tying his closet experience to secret-keeping—backfired hard, getting him voted out in a near-unanimous wave. Those two exits proved the Faithfuls are quick to turn on each other over personal drama or weak proof.

Now add Monét’s murder: The Traitors felt forced to kill her because she quietly flagged Lisa Rinna as suspicious. It was a defensive move to protect their own.

The shield mission made it possible—someone likely grabbed a shield for themselves, letting murder happen. Alan hid the full result, so we still don’t know if another grab occurred or if Colton Underwood is safe.

The castle is cracking:

• Colton is the Traitors’ only murder target—his leadership makes him too dangerous to keep.
• Lisa Rinna’s name is everywhere after Colton pushed it in group talks.
• Side beefs (Ron vs. Dorinda, Candiace vs. Ron) are simmering, ready to boil over.
• The shield unknown means breakfast could bring relief… or another body.

If murder happens (Colton gone?), the Faithfuls lose their strongest voice and might turn on each other harder. If no murder (shields held?), suspicion explodes: Who can be trusted? Who betrayed the group twice?

This is bigger than Tiffany’s laugh drama or Michael’s meltdown. The Traitors are playing careful now—quiet kills, protecting their own—while the Faithfuls chase ghosts and fight among themselves. One breakfast reveal could shatter alliances, expose cracks in the trio (Candiace, Lisa, Rob), or spark the wildest Round Table of the season.

The castle is at its breaking point. Episode 6 isn’t just the next episode—it’s the turning point fans have been waiting for. Get ready for chaos.
