In Blake's 7 season 3 episode 1, titled "Aftermath," the crew of the Liberator is reeling after battles with the Federation have left them wounded, both physically and emotionally. Avon is particularly affected by the recent events, as his close friend and ally Anna Grant was killed in battle.
As the crew attempts to regroup and come up with a new plan for taking down the Federation, they receive a transmission from an unknown source. The message leads them to a seemingly abandoned planet where they discover a group of survivors from a Federation prison ship.
While the crew debates whether or not to help the survivors, they must also deal with the arrival of a group of bounty hunters who are hunting them down for the Federation. The situation quickly becomes dire as the Liberator is damaged and the crew is forced to make a difficult decision in order to escape the planet alive.
Through all the chaos and danger, the characters are forced to confront their own fears and weaknesses. Avon must come to terms with his grief over Anna's death and decide whether or not he can continue fighting against the Federation. Meanwhile, Soolin struggles with trust issues and Vila begins to question his place on the crew.
Overall, "Aftermath" is a gripping episode that sets the stage for the rest of the season. The combination of action, drama, and character development keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, eager to see what happens next.
