The third Traitor from the opening episode, Tomica Adams, was banished in Episode 8.

What Happened in Episode 8 and Episode 9
Episode 8, “A Bad Apple Spoils the Whole Bunch”: Tomica banished, Abby Lee murdered
Victor Vollbrechthausen was saved by the Power of the Pardon, a secret power the player who banked the most gold in the Episode 7 mission could use at his banishment. At the Round Table the Faithful then banished Tomica Adams by a vote of 10 to 2. Tomica was a Traitor, so it was the first Traitor banishment of the season. That night the Traitors murdered Abby Lee, the astrophysicist from Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Episode 9, “Playing Chess”: Morgan Cook murdered, nobody banished
Episode 9 had a dinner twist built around poisoned chalices. The Traitors poisoned a Faithful’s chalice, and players were allowed to swap drinks, so a Traitor who drank the poisoned cup would have meant no murder that night. The poison ended up with Morgan Cook, who was murdered. There was no banishment, because the episode ended before a Round Table vote.
The mission sent the players to a haunted cabin to summon spirits. Jay Vinnedge was pulled from the mission after the group got the wedding dress wrong, and Abbey Benjamin retrieved the final item, which added $18,000 to the prize pot. Victor also found a hidden shield that protected him from murder that night.
