Keltham is constantly tracking the Conspiracy world in his mind.  That's part of this.  He's living in both worlds simultaneously and distinctly and unhesitatingly.  There's no pause in him about whether or not the Conspiracy is real, for purposes of accusing Carissa of being in on it within the Conspiracy world, Keltham steps all the way mentally into the world where the Conspiracy is just a thing and Carissa is just part of it, and then in that world when Carissa suddenly vanished away 'to the bathroom' obviously she was up to something in response to his own lecture and obviously the other students' questions were meant as a distraction.

Asmodia sees the game now, has seen the game, even without the enhancement spells she remembers.

Cheliax can't rely on what anything 'looks like', they can't ask if it's a 'giveaway' or if it could 'just as reasonably be something else'.  Keltham isn't going to wonder each time whether or not the Conspiracy is real and mentally back down from labeling Carissa's departure as suspicious.  Cheliax has to consider what everything will look like to Keltham while he's mentally inhabiting the world where the Conspiracy is just real and there's no arguing with it.

There was only one correct move in that game, and it was to mentally live inside the alterCheliax world themselves, and just do what alterCheliax would do, notice every time anyone's overt behavior departed from their behavior in alterCheliax whether or not that looked like a giveaway at a first glance.  Carissa needed to notice that the version of her not in the Conspiracy world probably did not suddenly need to go to the bathroom, because Keltham did notice that.  If that was even twice as likely on the Conspiracy world as the Ordinary world, Asmodia has grasped by now that a lot of "twice as likelies" multiplied together can add up very fast.

Asmodia sees the game now.  She can't properly play the game against Keltham without enhancement, but she can see how fast Cheliax is losing.  They can lose it very quickly once Keltham gets oriented enough that he starts believing in his own numbers.  Hours, not days.  It's all there in the math.
