I think that Ilea's biggest problem is that she's invested a lot of her energy and intellectual self-credibility into justifying Adam's behaviour to herself. She suspects that he's gone insane and is taking it too far. Murdering Sienna was probably going towards her limit but ordering Blake to ba handed over to him for who knows what torments at his hands went beyond it. She's now fighting herself as much as she's fighting Blake and humanity and I suspect that will ultimately make her sloppy and mistake-prone.

I suspect that next week, Ilea will end up with a choice: Kill Blake or kill one of the Albain brothers. If she doesn't kill Blake, the Albains are going to be beaten but Blake may die if she doesn't whittle down the odds against her.

The other possibility is that Sun will have to do what Blake may not be able to do and put Ilea down permanently. This will be the next part of the Eclipse arc: Intellectually, Blake knows Sun did the right thing but, emotionally, she has a hard time dealing with the man who killed her best friend, even if it was a her-or-your parents equation.
