The episode began with Paudie selecting a new recruit, after his own son Andrew was sent packing the night before and he went with Nick. The move paid off instantly, with Nick proving he\u2019s no saint on Team Traitors by backstabbing \u201cnice guy\u201d Mark, one of the Faithfuls\u2019 most trusted players.<\/p>\n
Nick looked hesitant about the job at first, but once the penny dropped that it was murder or be murdered, he embraced the role quickly. He was hands-on in searching for the book in the Library, carried out the hit in broad daylight, and looked the part of a seasoned Traitor by the end of the night. Still, it\u2019s worth noting that at breakfast Nick mentioned Paudie\u2019s name in a list of suspects which could come back to bite.<\/p>\n
Paudie doesn’t do hugs<\/p>\n
After Patrick was banished in the roundtable came the twist that produced yet another iconic Paudie moment. Siobh\u00e1n tore up the rulebook and announced a one-night-only pise\u00f3g murder: the Traitors would have to murder their victim in plain sight dealing the blow with a hug.<\/p>\n
Nick looked rattled by the idea of killing in plain sight and his friend Ben even seemed to pick up on the nerves. Paudie, meanwhile, had the most Irish reaction imaginable.<\/p>\n
