Perhaps I'm being thick (wouldn't be the first time), but there's something about this I don't understand. Specifically, whose place did the noodle incident take place at?
On the one hand, May is there, suggesting it happened at Dale and May's place. But then if you look at the Patreon comic, it seems that Dale was leaving in a fit of embarrassment. Why would he leave his own place? Where was he expecting to go? In fact he says he's going "home," which suggests the action is happening at Marigold and Momo's. If that's the case, why is May there? Does she follow Dale around on his sleepover nights? Her conversation with Momo says May "went in the living room." Does May usually not just follow Dale over to Marigold's, but also stay in the room with them? Whut?
Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I can't work it out.
BenRG:
Y'know, a way back when I did a poll on the oddest couples in Questionable Content, I forgot these two bickering sisters (because they do seem more and more like siblings to me).
In any case, I think that the time is approaching for May to strike out on her own. Not because she really has problems with socialisation and not even because she seems to find ways to cause trouble even when she doesn't mean it. It's just that Dale's lifestyle seems to be hazardous to her physical and mental health (first the sword incident and now this)!
The thing is...? I can see Momo moving out too. As much as she loves Marigold, I suspect, based on the 'day in the life' strips, that she finds Marigold and Dale's enthusiastically vocal intimacy pretty disturbing (on many levels) as well! I'd still like to see what an all-Synthetic household would work and these two are as close, in nature and temperament, to an Oscar and Felix as we are likely to get in QC.
Now, hands up everyone who noticed the Brun cameo in panel 1! 8-)

My first thought was it happened at Marigold/Momo's, Marigold actually chased him through the streets to his house, and the fight ended up at Dale/May's. That still doesn't make much sense, because of "May went out to the living room" and she was listening in and it "got funny again" when Marigold started yelling...
Tova:
It's my turn to be thick. I didn't know that Dale had moved in, I thought he was just sleeping over there on a regular basis but still had his own place.
Feel free to correct me with a comic reference, those of you with archive-fu.
Edit: Confession time. The thought I just had: "Oh NOODLE INCIDENT HA AH HA HA HA AHA HAHAHAH that is funny, I am so so slow. Ohhhh my head hurts."
