Rob’s New Traitor Pup, The Box Trap Twist, and Steven Gets Blindsided: | The Traitors S4 E9 Recap

Baby That’s Cont is back with The Traitors edition, recapping Season 4 Episode 9 (“Think Outside the Box”). We pick up right where Episode 8 left off: Rob recruits Eric, and Eric looks fully gagged when he realizes who pulled him into the turret. From there, it’s Rob in full “traitor Sherpa” mode—teaching Eric how to survive while Eric immediately starts acting suspicious at breakfast.

Then we get one of the wildest challenges of the season: everyone literally sits in boxes while the traitors sneak out between questions to lock in answers. Rob and Eric keep picking the same name to avoid giving the Faithfuls any useful intel, but it also starts creating new paranoia—especially once four players are “shortlisted” for murder and trapped in boxes: Natalie, Kristen, Tara, and Johnny.

Back at the castle, Tara and Johnny finally admit they’re best friends, and the table immediately turns it into evidence. The roundtable spirals into a messy triangle of suspicion—Johnny vs. Steven vs. Tara—until the vote flips hard and Steven gets banished as a Faithful. And then the dagger twist hits: Natalie pushes Rob to reveal he has it, and suddenly the endgame math gets very real.

We close out with Rob and Eric back in the turret, debating the next murder and whether Eric is about to get thrown under the bus next. With only a few episodes left, is Rob cruising to a win—or is this where everything finally starts to crack?
