  "account": "As the final stages of The Traitors Ireland approached, trust between players began to fray, with the endgame looming on Tuesday's episode. Janet was convinced she had been murdered in plain sight, leading her to single out Pauric O as her prime suspect after he jokingly suggested dancing the night away. Pauric denied any involvement, but Janet's suspicions remained, even after a breakfast apology from her. The episode saw the revelation that the Traitors had killed in plain sight, with four possible victims identified. Ultimately, Janet was confirmed as the changeling, and Pauric strengthened his position with an endgame alliance pact with Ian.",
  "summary": "With the numbers dwindling and confidence badly shaken, friendships and alliances came under increasing pressure on Tuesday night's The Traitors Ireland.",
