Kim Daily, a lawyer from Houston, was murdered by the Traitors, and the Faithful banished Madeline Kostopulos by a 13-vote majority. Madeline turned out to be a Faithful.
Katie Fites was chosen as the third Traitor, and Xavier Scruggs, the Accomplice who did not make the cut, was murdered.
Arisa Thomas received 13 votes at the Round Table and was banished. That night the Traitors chose to murder Logan Smith.
Sherry Kuehl, the oldest player at 65, was banished with 11 votes, ahead of Jay with five. She turned out to be a Faithful. The Traitors then set up a murder in plain sight, and the episode ended just before the host revealed the victim.
Episode 6 picks up right after the Episode 5 cliffhanger. The host reveals who the Traitors murdered with the poisoned-apple twist, and the Faithful have to react to the loss before the next Round Table. At the Episode 5 Round Table, Jay voiced suspicions about Katie and Kriste before joining the vote against Sherry. Episode 6 airs on Thursday, October 15 at 8 p.m. ET.
Sixteen players are still in the game: the three Traitors, Joe Vanella, Tomica Adams and Katie Fites, and 13 Faithful: Abbey Benjamin, Abby Lee, Ben McDonnell, Clyde Moser, Jay Vinnedge, Kriste Lewis, Mark Zgoda, Michael Foote, Morgan Cook, Niyyah Hayes, Shane Beatty, Victor Vollbrechthausen and Wyatt Gillespie. One of them is the Episode 5 murder victim, revealed in Episode 6.
