I'm confused about why you'd expect jealousy to have an angle.
She walked in on Dale having fun with an attractive, available, intelligent young woman whom he sees most days of the week and had a gut reaction to it, and she's the type who dwells on those gut reactions rather than let them pass.
"It's not that deep," as they say.
Welu:
I've been in Marigold's situation here. I used to be very insecure and jealous and I would ask testing questions to see what would be said. I honestly didn't even realise I was doing it in hope of getting some kind of correct answer, which most of the time there wasn't one because either I got the "wrong" answer or didn't believe the "correct" one.
So my bias means I'm giving Marigold the benefit of the doubt that she's inexperienced and she doesn't totally realise what she's doing. On the other hand though I want to shake her and make her get past what used to be one of my big flaws.

The "available" part is not so sure. Emily declined Clinton's offer for a date.
Neko_Ali:
It doesn't really matter that Emily's too busy to date. All Marigold is seeing is someone Dale works with who he has fun with, is female and isn't seeing anyone. That's enough for jealousy and insecurity to take over. It also means it doesn't matter what answers Dale gave to the questions, Marigold is going to interpreter them in the way that make sense to her jealousy, or just assume Dale is lying. That's the thing about insecurity and jealousy... They don't obey logical rules.
