You can tell from Avon's expression that he is worried. That is because Volcano is not a good episode.
The best scene in Volcano by miles is the one in which Avon is the only one on the Liberator who hasn't been captured (because silly Vila teleported the baddys onto it by mistake) and he fights the Federation spaceships that are attacking the Liberator all by himself.
Then Avon gets captured by Mori (who would have been Travis if this has been season 2, like I think this episode was originally intended to be), because Cally's attempt at warning him by telepathy doesn't work for some reason. I think the reason may be to make the episode be longer.
Avon does not look pleased at being captured. Or maybe he is unhappy that Cally's telepathy is saying "there are three of them" when there are definitely four Federation baddys on the Liberator. I'm only a cat but even I can count up to four, silly Cally!
Avon gets his pewpewpew gun and shoots two of the baddys, in an action scene that is not terribly well directed but still manages to be exciting because it's Avon.
Mori shoots Avon! Mew!
Oh noes!
Fortunately Avon is only wounded. It would take more than a huge scary blast from Mori's gun to kill Avon.
Mori escapes to the planet, where he ends up falling into the volcano.
"My Precious! O my Precious!"
Meanwhile, in the other plot thread on the planet, the mannys there decide to use a big red button to activate their secret weapon: stock footage!
The stock footage is so powerful that it blows the whole planet up. Oh well, at least it brings the episode to an end.
