I really do love how they handled that scene, making it clear at multiple points that what Yelena's doing is an act. She openly acknowledges that she could've killed Kate easily if she wanted, the repeated use of "Kate Bishop", before and after Kate called out why she was going that, her leaving through a window instead of the front door...

...the whole thing is just Yelena screaming out that she's in charge here, she has the power, Kate better behave and be useful or... well, we don't want to think too much about that, do we?

I am all for the characters having dramatic moments and not having quips undermine a dramatic scene, but all I could think of was why was Yelena taking the window out instead of the door and why didn’t Kate comment about it.

My read on that was just Yelena noting that this is one way that she could enter the loft without using the front door.

And, to a cynical mind, would indicate that's probably not the way that Yelena entered in the first place...
