In a dramatic turn of events, the latest episode of Les Traîtres 2025, aired on April 17, 2025, marked a significant shift in the dynamics of the game. The Loyals, who had been struggling against the seemingly invincible Traitors, began to regain their confidence following a surprise elimination, a secret letter, and an unexpected refusal that shook the foundation of the competition.
As tensions escalated in the castle, all eyes were on Adil Rami, one of the Traitors, who found himself increasingly isolated and under scrutiny from fellow contestants Anthony Colette and Rose Thr. To protect her ally, Sophie Tapie took a bold risk, insinuating that Logfive, another Traitor, was suspicious without directly accusing him. “He is a traitor to him,” she stated, justifying her betrayal of one of her own. Sophie also referenced a statistic suggesting that a Traitor was hiding among the recently integrated players, adding fuel to the fire of suspicion.
Meanwhile, Hugo Leboeuf quickly shifted the focus by pointing fingers at Raquel Garrido, but she managed to turn the situation around by revealing a more vulnerable side of herself. By exposing her emotions, she convinced some of her peers of her loyalty, complicating matters for the Traitors.
With the stakes raised, a critical decision loomed. Adil, aware of the threat to Logfive, stated, “We need to get rid of Logfive to avoid being unmasked.” Despite Logfive's attempts to defend himself without directly attacking Sophie, he ultimately fell victim to the group's decision. His elimination was a relief for the Loyals, marking their first Traitor unmasked, while Sophie and Adil celebrated their successful maneuvering.
The morning after Logfive's elimination brought unexpected news—no player was banished. Alizé Cornet expressed her concern, stating, “There’s definitely something fishy going on.” Jade Leboeuf speculated about the possibility of a recruitment, a notion that Eric Antoine confirmed, stating that a Loyal had indeed been approached to join the Traitors. Raquel, the target of this recruitment, remained contemplative about the offer, describing it as a Sicilian message: “Join us, or we will ban you the next day.”
As the episode unfolded, the test for the amulet became crucial. Three pairs—Sophie and her mother Dominique, Adil and Rose, and Alizé and Nicolas—gained access to the antechamber for this pivotal challenge. For Raquel, winning immunity could be her only chance for survival, regardless of whether she accepted the Traitors' offer.
Back at the castle, Francis Huster, taking on the role of detective, suspected Raquel of receiving the offer and aimed to make her understand that accepting it would be an unforgivable act of betrayal. However, Raquel remained stoic until the round table, where she made a shocking declaration: she publicly rejected the Traitors' offer, affirming her loyalty.
This bold move sent shockwaves through the group. Raquel explained her choice, saying, “I have been accused of treason by someone to whom I have dedicated thirty years of political commitment, so it’s terrible for me.” Her refusal marked a historic moment in the game, as it was the first time a contestant had turned down such a proposal from the Traitors.
Meanwhile, the long-standing issue of the cursed apple resurfaced. Seth Gueko accused Bianca Costa of inciting him to pick it up, while Hugo defended his sister Jade, revealing their familial connection and asserting her loyalty. The votes during this tense round were tight, with Jade and Bianca facing elimination. Ultimately, Bianca was voted out, leaving the Loyals and Traitors to reassess their strategies.
As the episode concluded, viewers were left with a sense of anticipation. The dynamics within the game had shifted dramatically, with Sophie Tapie emerging as a cunning strategist willing to sacrifice her own ally to protect her position. “I feel horrible because I sacrificed Logan when Adil’s name never came up,” she admitted, grappling with the moral implications of her actions.
The episode ended with a cliffhanger, prompting questions about the future of the remaining contestants. With Raquel's steadfast loyalty and Sophie’s Machiavellian tactics, the next episode promises to be explosive. “A traitor will be sacrificed or revealed,” teased the promotional material, leaving fans eager for more drama in the coming weeks.
As the competition heats up, the players must navigate their alliances carefully, with betrayal lurking at every corner. The stakes have never been higher, and the question remains: who will emerge victorious in this high-stakes game of deception?
