Well, if she's going to imply Root counts as a dessert right after they mercilessly extracted information from and then killed a bad man, she's certainly going to flirt back.

It takes some rapid typing on Jerry's computer while Claudia goes to shower, but she finds a neighbor who has a teenage daughter and whose apartment she's pretty sure is currently vacant thanks to her surveillance takeover on the security guard's computer. She commits some old fashioned breaking and entering to steal some clothes, which she leaves politely just inside the bathroom door. Root doesn't mind crossing boundaries, not at all, but that's not going to get her what she wants in this scenario.

What she wants is information. And maybe a fun night out -- that part remains to be seen.

The clothes she stole for Claudia are pretty plain and nondescript, and when she eventually emerges from the bathroom, Root promptly looks up from Jerry's laptop, executes a final command, and closes it.

"I didn't know what you'd prefer, so I got you something that says unremarkable teenager. Please... call me Root."
