Ichante is going to be very suspicious that the doctor - in the time it took the team to escape and get to the safehouse - managed to extract himself, get to the same location, and then act as he does before disappearing.
Because she's a magician, Ichante's first assumption will be that the doctor is an illusion, or some magical apparition inserted in Chaim's brain.
Her second assumption will be that the doctor
was compromised, per Asher's warning, and sold the team out to save his own skin. Maybe it's a threat because he's pissed at us for not saving him, or maybe a warning. The latter would explain why there's not an HTR team kicking down the door of our safehouse, although it doesn't explain the doctor's theatrics.
Ichante will do some assensing:
Assensing the place where Chaim says Dr. Nelson was, looking for traces of magic:

Ichante will keep Achak on-call in case anything needs a paddling. She'll run astral overwatch during the transit to Redmond and during Chaim's cloaking-and-daggering.
