By Episode 4, The Traitors Season 4 shifts into a cleaner, more brutal rhythm. There is no Secret Traitor twist driving the kill list anymore, which means the Traitors do not get a special “filtered” shortlist handed to them behind the scenes. Instead, the daily mission directly determines who ends up vulnerable, and that makes the challenge feel way more important than just adding money to the prize pot. It also raises the stakes for everyone involved. If you perform poorly in the mission, you are not just losing cash. You are putting a target on your back for that night’s murder decision.
Who was murdered in Episode 4 of The Traitors Season 4?
As of now, we do not know who was murdered in Episode 4, because the episode hasn’t aired yet.
We will update this guide as soon as the episode becomes available and the murder victim is confirmed.
How the Episode 4 Murder Shortlist Worked
Episode 4’s shortlist comes from the daily mission. In the challenge, contestants pair up. One person gets caged, while their partner attempts to free them. Any contestant still left in a cage by the end of the mission becomes eligible for murder that night.
Ron ends up on the shortlist automatically, since he does not have a partner.
There are also no shields in play here, so the Traitors can choose from the full eligible list.

- Ron
What to Watch for Once the Episode Drops
With no shields and a mission-built shortlist, Episode 4’s murder should come down to pure strategy. The Traitors will likely weigh two things:
- Threat level: Who feels smartest, most connected, or most likely to rally votes soon.
- Heat management: Who they can remove without accidentally exposing their own patterns.
