"Blake going to beat Adam." Actually, that could well happen in ep12. You see, the main reason Adam beated Blake that badly, was not because of superior power or skill. But because of lingering dominance over her.

I've already compared Adam with the kind of guys that abuse and manipulate their wives, so that they end up depending on them, and never try to abandon them, either out of fear, servitude, twisted love, or both. Their wives could easily cry for help, call the police, tell someone, run away, or fight back...but they don't. Not because they can't, but because they are so are so afraid/dependant on the man, that they lack the willpower to do it. And even when they do it and succeed, all those feelings can return if they see that man again.

Look at that fight. That cannot be called a fight at all. Blake was barely trying to attack him, with the least amount of willpower possible. But she can decide to fight him, if given a strong enough incentive....such as Jetstream Guevara playing Metal Gear Rising with Yang.
