Blake tricks the rest of the crew into going back to Earth (which we haven't seen since the first episode of the first series). You see, as usual, he has plan... he's arranged to meet up with a resistance group and mount an attack on Control, the central computer used by the Federation. If Blake can successfully destroy this machine it will be a debilitating blow against the Federation - in essence it would cripple their source of power. The rest of the crew is wary of such a mission but agree to attempt it on the proviso that Blake agrees to cancel it should anything go even remotely wrong.
This was a pretty good episode. We finally get some background to Servalan (who appears in a rather fetching boater hat). We learn she bertrayed her treasonous teacher when she was a cadet in order to get ahead. We also get to meet this teacher, who enlightens us on Servalan's early years as a spoilt and selfish brat. We also see that not much has changed for Servalan, highlighted in the final scenes of this episode where she cuts sick at Travis.
Some quotes...

BLAKE: Is my phraseology your only complaint, Avon?
AVON: No, but it is my only surprise.
BLAKE: The others have decided to go with me.
AVON: I thought they would. Not very bright, but loyal.
AVON: Do you get the felling there's something he's not tellin gus?
JENNA: I dunno, I hate waiting like this.
VILA: Could be worse - we could be down there with him.
VILA: I don't want to go.
AVON: You surprise me.
