With the recent relevation of the mysterious laughter at the end of the Black Trailer, I think there might be more solid footing now for me to theorize the entire scenario in a more complete manner.

First, this theory goes by the assumption that:

1) The laughter was from someone else other than Adam or Blake. I'm guessing that it's the White Fang leader, or at least one of the higher elites (equal status with Adam or above).

Therefore, I theorize that the Black Trailer depicts '''a ploy by White Fang to get rid of Blake Belladona once and for all. '''

The reason to that is simple: The White Fang obviously had gathered enough information to know that Schnee Dust Company supply train was on due, since they know it down to the exact timing and location to ambush it. Also, judging from Episode 16, robbing a train was a rather common to them and what you would call a routine operation.

So when Blake and Adam went to rob/detonate (since we're still unclear of the exact objective of their mission) the supply train, they - or at least Blake - was expecting it to be just another day at the job. They had expected to encounter Security Droids, which we may deduce is the private army and grunts of the Schnee company, and dispatched them with incredible ease right up till they discovered the loot. Everything until then could be considered as normal.

Or this could be a harder-than-normal mission that required someone like Adam himself to participate.

But it was a trap. There was a powerful Spider Droid abroad the train, and Blake obviously did not expect to find a boss level enemy on a routine operation. Regardless of the outcome, I believe that the White Fang, or at least one of their leaders, had meant that trap to be Blake Belladona's grave, or at least a way to cause her to fail the mission so they have an excuse to get rid of her. It was obvious that if it wasn't for Adam's intervention Blake would not have been able to defeat the spider droid, and she would have chosen to escape rather than completing the mission. She would have died too if Adam hadn't saved her from being crushed underneath the spider droid's foot.

At the end of the day, things had not exactly gone as the White Fang had anticipated, but Blake Belladona did leave the organization. Depending on Adam's words, they might even thought that she has died as planned. It's impossible to deduce whether Adam had been part of it, but it's probably safe to assume that even if he was, he hadn't wanted to harm Blake - or at least, not die on the hands of the enemy.
