Once Karenssa was dead, the ensnaring spell cast on Baron Angus finally lost effect and he froze up while in a position to readily bring down his Axe in a fit of enchanted rage.
"What-" he mumbled, confused, "What is this? What am I doing?"
Angus remembered everything he had done while under his wife's spell, he even 'understood' his anger toward Evian in regards to Karenssa's accusations but he wondered why he had so quickly and easily lost all rationality. His eyes scanned the hall, first moving over the faces of the members of the squad who all had some level of bruises on their bodies inflicted by him, and then, his eyes fell on Karenssa's body sprawled in front of his high-backed chair and he croaked,
"What just happened?"

Whether or not Angus had been under a spell, the way his might had made them all feel had a long-term effect on the Crew and they had no intentions of standing by and discussing it or saying anything to the Baron at all so Zayda stepped in.
