In controlled dephasing as a result of the interaction of a controlled environment (dephasor) and the system under observation (dephasee) the states of the two subsystems are entangled. Using as an example the ``Which Path Detector'', we discuss how the entanglement influences the controlled dephasing. In particular, we calculate the suppression $��$ of A-B oscillations as a function of the bias $eV$ applied to the QPC and the coupling $��$ of the QD to the leads. At low temperatures the entanglement produces a smooth crossover from $��\propto (eV/��)^2$, when $eV \ll ��$ to $��\propto eV/��$, for $eV \gg ��$.
