Its silly! Taking the queen is not the move here. Moving the white queen to force the king to take is, putting it in a corner for the rook to mate

This allows rook takes rook on H4 with a discovered check losing back the queen in addition to the rook and being down two pieces at the end

Love a queen sacrifice to the king for a checkmate.

Queen sac to the king, then back rank issues.
