If the aggressiveness is only occurring after a bath I'd recommend separating them after bathing for a few hours until they have calmed. You can also try using a Feliway diffuser or spray to see if this helps reduce the tension. If the aggressiveness continues or gets worse you may want to schedule a vet visit to ensure Sasha is not having any health issues contributing to the behavior change.
