Since you are playing with the Church of England -edition, the queen can simply dismiss the bishop.

"Hah! Checkmate with my bishop!"
"Nope! Bishop is dismissed!"
"Aaaaw, not again"

Only if it's not a Catholic bishop

When did they add this rule? What next, can the queen en passant everyone that is 2 fields away from her?

Too late, Queen's already off the board and transphobes don't want us to turn peasants into Queens.

You know what. I'm gonna turn into a queen even harder!

What are you worried about? A bishop on a white square can't touch a queen on a black square

No, looks like someone nudged the board and the bishop is supposed to be on black, but got moved a bit.

If that's the case, then the play is to nudge the board back even harder, so all the pieces get moved and nobody is sure where anyone is supposed to be.
