Really, I think the reason that Blake believed Adam's lies and excuses is because they grew up together, so they knew each other for a really long time and she trusted him.

In the Black Trailer, when he said "What about them?" about the innocent crew members, he slipped up. That's when Blake couldn't deny it anymore. He really didn't care about innocent people.

I still consider that backhand he used on her in the episode to be rather abusive. You don't ordinarily backhand your opponent in a fight. Him kicking her away when their swords were locked made sense, but the backhand didn't. That was more personal.
