What??

Surely the queen can escape to b2

Yes, but then Bc3 gets it.

Good point

But an extra pawn would be won for black

Here's a thought, where Black loses a rook and the queen (unless the queen moves elsewhere)

2...... Qc5
3.Nc7+ Kd8
4.Nxa8 Qxd4 ?
5.Ba5+ Ke8
6.Qxd4

she could go to e5. a rook is lost but at least not the queen, right?

After Qe5, then Nxc6+ and Black is going to lose the Queen.

Nxc6+

No, because the d pawn will take the knight on c6:
4. Nxa8 Qe5
5. Nxc6+ dxc6
6. Bc3+ Qd6

You would not play 6. Bc3+, you would play 6. Bf4+.
