The knife twisted on Monday night's dramatic instalment of The Traitors Ireland which saw the Faithful land their first big success of the series.
***Spoilers ahead***
In the intense, occasionally chaotic Day 4 of The Traitors Ireland the three traitors, Katelyn, Paudie and Eamon, were not in agreement about their game plan as the heat began to fall on all of them at various points.
Despite a number of the Faithful having their doubts about Katelyn, it was the growing distrust between Paudie and Eamon that became the catalyst for the high drama this episode.
But firstly, the Traitors struck again as they claimed the life of a fourth contestant, well-liked newcomer John, who had previously granted a shield to Katelyn, as they continued their pattern of eliminating strong players.
Later, Eamon aimed to get Katelyn onside to shift suspicion onto their fellow Traitor Paudie, by telling Paudie that Patrick had been mentioning his name.
But Paudie wasn't easily fooled, and the pair clashed in a visibly heated conversation.
"I'm trying to give you an out here," Eamon told Paudie, who retorted: "I'm not in."
They had to put their differences aside to take part in a challenge involving row boats, memory and maths in order to unlock a treasure chest with a five-figure code, with the twist being that the Traitors already knew the lock code.
Rather impressively, the gang completed the mission successfully, bagging €2,000 towards the prize pot, but their celebrations were short-lived when they returned to the castle.
Paudie, clearly still disturbed by Eamon's sneaky tactics, decided to ask Nick and Andrew about something that Eamon had mentioned during last night's conclave.
Unwittingly, Eamon had told Paudie that they both had mentioned his name to him, which Paudie knew couldn't be true.
"I knew Andrew didn't say it, the dogs in the street know Andrew didn't say it," Paudie said of his secret son.
"It's a dangerous game he's playing," Nick said when Paudie informed him of Eamon's comments.
In the roundtable, Christine kicked off by voicing her suspicions of Katelyn, but it was the Eamon/Paudie drama that dominated the proceedings.
Eamon attempted to convince the other players to get rid of Paudie, but his fatal error with Andrew and Nick brought about his downfall in the end.
"It's one lie on top of the other," a clearly frustrated Nick told Eamon.
When Eamon was voted out and revealed himself to be a "faithful member of An Garda Síochána and a Traitor", the Faithful got the win they so desperately needed.
But will they remember Oyin's savagely insightful comment towards the end of the roundtable when she singled out Katelyn, Eamon and Paudie's names, asking: "Is this a fight among Traitors?"
At the end of the episode, Katelyn and Paudie were left with a dilemma - should they murder or recruit?
They single out highly-trusted Faithful Nick for recruitment. The big question is - will he accept the poisoned chalice?
The Traitors Ireland continues every Sunday at 9:30pm, Monday and Tuesday at 9:35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, followed directly by The Traitors Ireland: Uncloaked.
