I think he was too gutted at the betrayal, yes; but there's the additional factor that he was relying on trickery with Arlen. Avon would never have fallen for something like that under those particular circumstances.

Mistral

I think Blake would have been self sacrificing and jumped. I can't see Blake forcing, or trying to force, either Vila or Avon off, though I doubt he would have managed it with Avon.

Surely afterwards Vila would have gone for Orac - for causing the problem?
