Follows us back and gets seen prowling round (6)

I believe the answer is:

ensues

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'follows' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'us back and gets seen prowling round' is the wordplay.
'back' suggests the final letters.
'and gets' becomes 'u' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'prowling' is an anagram indicator (prowl means to move around).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
The final letter of 'us' is 's'.
'seen' with letters rearranged gives 'enes'.
's'+'u'='su'
'su' put into 'enes' is 'ENSUES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ensues that I've seen before include "Follows as a consequence" , "Comes about as consequence" , "Comes about, happens" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
