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.
Maybe there were a few times when he wanted out badly enough to consider it, but don't think he'd be able to bring himself to actually do it. Quite apart from any moral reasons (and I do think he feels some loyalty towards the crew) I doubt he'd trust the Federation to hold up their end of the deal.
