Update on V
Well, I decided to try some stuff. I blocked off the sides of the cage with construction paper because the cats were getting up there and watching them and I don't think the lizards liked them doing that cause they'd try scratching their way out. I tried giving both Envy and V a bath at the same time and Envy displayed some dominance stuff, puffy beard, bobbing head, flicking tail. V waved her arms and remained calm. She let me pet her and bathe her without any aggression. I put them back into their cages and immediately V acted all scared, as if preparing for something to attack her. She still hiss' and gapes at me, she was attacking the acrylic window trying to get to me earlier but I think she's doing better. She'll be alert and erect in her basking spot until she notices me or my girlfriend walking around then crouches down against her log and watches our every movement. So long as I move slowly she seems to be mostly ok. I hope she gets over this soon, it's driving me nuts not being able to comfort and hold her. I'm pretty certain now that she's not gravid just very, very aggressive. She'll eat so long as we're not anywhere near the cage, she won't eat or drink from our hands anymore. She is staying hydrated though through drinking in the bath and the daily misting. She seems to be calming down but we'll see. She almost seemed reluctant to be put back into her cage once she calmed down with me, I'm almost wondering if she misses having a companion. I separated them at 7 mo immediately after I could get the new cage. Well, here's the latest news, I'll post again in a week or so. Wish me luck!

Re: Update on V
Just give her a bit of time she will come around. As you posted the best thing to do is to take it slow and move slow around her. With you being above her she thinks you are a predator so she will act defensive.
