I'm actually sort of surprised that Blake wasn't more worried about being sold out by Vila. I'm sure Vila was grateful for being rescued from Cygnus Alpha, but I wonder if the thought of exchanging Blake and the Liberator for a pardon (after all, he isn't a particularly important villain, just a chronic one) didn't cross his mind more than a few times.

Vila's a soft-hearted villain though. When the possibility of Avon hacking the ship's log is mentioned, he calls it 'immoral', an interesting word from a thief. He objects to the idea of killing the putative assassin Cancer too, saying something like "I'm a thief, not a murderer." He does have a conscience.

Besides Blake knows Vila will stay because he won't find the proverbial 'better hole.'
