Exactly my point. The deal was that, after they'd dealt with Star One, Avon would take Blake to Earth in exchange for command of the Liberator. Blake's disappearance prevents Avon from carrying out the last part of the deal, so the debt is still there.

In Assassin, you get something different; there's a deal made, but once

Avon has what he wants, there is no reason for Avon to honour the deal with Nebrox, so why does Avon then save him?<

Because he promised :-) Mind, he has to be reminded of that promise, but then he honours the deal.
