No note that I'm looking at it again there's nothing they can do. The knight move doesn'tt make sense, but checkmate is unavoidable

No I don't think so? If we still move white bishop to C4 but then black leaves the knight and moves their bishop to B2 then when the queen moves to A6 it gets taken by the knight, no checkmate. Alternatively the queen could go to B5 but then the pawn takes it, still no mate. What am I missing?

Queen taking knight on B4
