- Maya Jama and James Acaster were tasked with engineering a 'boredom murder,' spraying 'deadly sleeping powder' from a perfume bottle and trying to trigger contagious yawning that would get a faithful 'put to sleep'
- King Kenny was recruited as a third traitor, prompting Maya Jama to predict 'this threesome's going to be different' and James Acaster to call him 'a natural born traitor'
- Joe Lycett was banished with 11 of 14 votes after loudly declaring he longed to be recruited — a gambit that backfired, as he conceded he'd 'laid his own trap, and now I'm in it'
- Miranda Hart broke down in tears over Lycett's exit, telling him 'connection and laughter and joy are bigger than this game' while referencing her two-year battle with Lyme disease that had left her bed- and housebound
- Miranda delivered the episode's viral moment when Leigh-Anne Pinnock taught her a Little Mix dance move — she announced 'Introducing Little Mix and... Big Mix!' while they wiggled and thrusted on the castle floor
- Jerry Hall and Ross Kemp wandered into the traitors' boredom trap inside a communal room, with the cliffhanger over whether either was 'murdered in plain sight' deferred to next Thursday
Why it matters: The faithful lost Lycett — who had publicly courted recruitment — on 11 of 14 votes while the traitors added a third member in Kenny, whom Acaster called 'a natural born traitor.' The yawn-induced murder cliffhanger, with Jerry Hall and Ross Kemp already inside the trap, won't resolve until next Thursday, leaving viewers guessing who, if anyone, gets 'killed' for failing to stay awake.
