Is it just me or is that a weird picture of the two of them. It's like John Kerry's trying to have a staring contest and she's ignoring him

At least partially Mr Escher. In the previous episode after she goes all ninja on the guy who tries to attack her she calls someone and mentions speaking to Mr Escher.
