    I doubt it, for several reasons.

    1. Ansom's orders.

    ..snip..
    At the end of this turn, you will rendezvous with additional Charlescomm forces, break your alliance with Jetstone, and ally with Transylvito.
    ..endsnip..

    We haven't seen any new Charlescomm forces. Ansom's camp was extremely close to GK in the first place. The point of the extra side gambit was to allow Jillian and co. to catch up with Stanley.

    2. She's IN GOBWIN KNOB! Yes, we don't know the exact rules, but I'm willing to go out on a limb here and say that you can't end your turn in the same hex as an enemy, especially not their capital city.
    EDIT: She shouldn't be able to end the turn at all, if my first point is correct and she hasn't ended the Jetstone alliance yet.
    Exceptions for captives, of course.

    3. The context is pretty straightforward. She was telling Wanda to switch sides.

    And now for something completely different.

    The second to last and last panels, I believe, were examples of

    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BattleAura
    and
    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PowerFloats
    coupled with
    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DramaticWind

    The second to last panel, I believe, is a very wide shot of the volcano GK sits on, emphasizing the Pillar of Light.
