Spoiler Alert: The following contains spoilers for recent and past episodes of The Traitors.
In the latest episodes, a civil war erupted among the traitors. Rachel, a traitor herself, revealed to the group that banished faithful Amanda had confided in her about being a former detective. This sparked a confrontation with fellow traitor Fiona, who accused Rachel of lying and being a traitor, unaware of her true allegiance. The drama escalated in the turret, with Rachel and Fiona clashing, while the third traitor, Stephen, was left speechless.
