I still see a lot of hypocrisy in Ilia's actions. You just can't murder someone and call it a sacrifice. It is a murder and nothing else. You have to make some kind of self-sacrifice to call it, well, a sacrifice. To give smth - either important for you or actually yours - "for the greater good". The lives of other people that mean nothing to you just don't count. Still bad with examples in english, so: giving your own life for the greater good = self-sacrifice; murdering your own family or friends for the same reasons = sacrifice; murdering someone you have no bounds with = just murder. That's how it works. And no: "murdering someone else's parents being a person with the experience of loosing family as well" also does not count as a sacrifice.

Yet Ilia is nothing like Adam. They do share the same point of view about the WF politics, but Adam is the only one who mixes it with his personal issueses - Ilia is not. Good for her, but it still does not justify her actions. If either Ghira, or Kali, or both die due to the currents events in Menagerie - I will not buy any kind of redemption arc for Ilia.

So, I actually can say that her motivation is spite too. Though she doesn't express it towards Blake personally - and Adam does. That's the difference.
