Are we thinking too hard, here? A promise to counter could be as simple as “NCSWIC.”
They would be aware of the acronym, would glance at it as if it were a picture (ie requires no eye-movement/reading), and that phrase in and of itself could certainly be seen as a promise to counter.
I think this is pretty probable — perhaps the DS also wonders whether Q is just a LARP? If they’re just as in the dark as we are, then it would make sense for Laura to ask, “Is this real?”

Just my two cents.
Any explanation has to account for Jeb's sudden panic and Laura sneering over at GWB.
She’s sneering at Trump, not GWB. So NCSWIC still makes sense in both cases.
