Collect and deposit gold coins. Three players who were eliminated in the first episode were suspended in cages in the woods, with an opportunity to rejoin the game. Sacks containing gold coins worth £50 each were hanging from the trees. The team had to collect the coins and decide which player to release by placing the coins in one of three tubes. However, they only had enough coins to release two out of the three players. Each returning player received a shield that they could give to anyone of their choice if they were freed.

Navigate through a fun house with a balloon. Players formed pairs, except for Dan, who worked solo, to transport a golden balloon through a fun house without popping it. Each balloon was worth £1,000. Only one safe route existed to reach the end. Players had to choose one of four doors to pass through. Selecting the right door allowed them to continue, while an incorrect choice meant the balloon was popped by a horror clown. The first player(s) to navigate the doors successfully received shields.

Ceremony of truth. All players began the mission with a shield. Blindfolded and paired up, they chose someone they thought didn't deserve a shield. A bucket was secretly placed behind the selected player and then poured over them. The marked player had to guess who was responsible. If they guessed correctly, both culprits lost their shields. If they guessed incorrectly, they lost their own shield, and the culprits stayed anonymous. The game finished when three players had shields remaining.

| 10 | Move and think like a traitor. The players faced an enormous chess board featuring their names. The team was required to respond to questions and position a chess piece on the name of the player they thought was the correct answer. For every answer that aligned with the responses provided by the Traitors, £2,000 was contributed to the prize fund. Afterward, each player selected a chest, one of which held a shield. | No time limit | £6,000 | £10,000 | £64,500(of £87,950) | Leanne |
| 11 | Players had to complete 3 challenges (as detailed in the notes below) to bank gold, adding a potential £12,000 to the prize fund. Whoever banked the most gold individually out of those who survived the next banishment would become the Seer with the power to know one player's true identity. | 5 minutes on Challenge 3 | £9,100 | £12,000 | £73,600(of £99,950) | No Shield on offer |
| 12 | For the final mission, players had to volunteer to hang beneath a helicopter with bags of gold, which they had to drop into a burning ring of fire. One player remained at the castle to signal via radio when to drop the gold. The cash amounts inside the bags were unknown until the mission was complete. For each player who volunteered, £2,500 was added to the prize fund. | No time limit | £21,000 | £30,000 | £94,600(of £129,950) |
