Peacock’s hit reality series, which drops new installments on Thursdays, has broughtKate ChastainandParvati Shallowto the Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands again — though this time, they’re not TraitorsorFaithfuls.

The two ladies will appear in episode nine of the series, airing Feb. 20, as two queens in a life-sized chess challenge. Both wear dramatic ruffle dresses with oversized sleeves and corseted bodices as they sit on fabulous thrones, Chastain, 42, in head-to-toe black and Shallow, 42, in all-white.

Chastain appeared on the first season ofThe Traitors, her dry wit and hilarious disinterest in gameplay helping make the show a success (and landing her in fifth place). TheBelow Deckalumna returned in season 2, where she made it to the end but was banished out of the top 4.

Both times, Chastain was a Faithful, however in season 2, she was recruited to be a Traitor. That same season, Shallow was also a Faithful at first, but theSurvivorwinner was recruited to be a Traitor, too. She was banished in episode 8.

It’s unclear exactly what role Chastain and Shallow will play in the season 3 challenge. No matter what, the pair — each with their own sparkling headgear and gold fans — appear to have enjoyed their trip.

“Returning to Scotland forThe Traitorsseason 3 felt like a religious pilgrimage back to the MOTHERLAND,” Shallow tells PEOPLE. “It was like a higher calling toward my former Mistress of Murder role and to Alan and his fabulous outfits. I was thrilled to be all dolled up and thrown back into the treacherous fun!”
