Blake was tracking the Rose Killer in order to forget the woman he couldn't save. Now there was a new lead: a survivor. Convincing Samantha "Sam" Dawson to help was only half the battle.

Moreover, Blake's stoicism is overdone to the extent that he comes across as mopey rather than dark and brooding.
