While there they both run across a spaceship with a dead guy who carries a plague. It gets loose of course, it's a race to survive.

#B7Marathon #Blakes7 Blake's 7 Ep 20 - "Killer" - 20 Feb 1979 2/2 Loved seeing Vila written to be more observant. Loved seeing Avon's past friend. Two things bugged me. Why didn't they seem to care who Blake was? Also how the f did Blake & crew get away clean? They were in contact with everyone.
