Or maybe she just trusts in the power of the boner... :-D

Actually, I think the problem is faith in MAY. Momo thinks May has given Dale very bad advice, and that he may actually follow it...

I can see him botching up the whole "apples are nice, but oranges are also nice in a different way" sentiment in a whole lot of ways.

Well, he didn't. But I meant more in the sense of "Momo has a poor opinion of May as an advisor, and the quality of advice she was likely to give".

Like a lot of Jeph's couples, there's an undercurrent of pure sugar about Dale and Marigold.
I just love how they've totally internalised this whole 'apples to oranges' thing themselves to the point that I suspect that cute pet-names will emerge from it. I also suspect that Marigold has spent too much time around May to the point where she's also internalised the 'melons' thing. Not that I suspect Dale minds that!
Jeph did some good work on Marigold's body-language in panel 1 which makes me feel that the cracks have only been papered over. She's still very insecure about herself and, strangely enough, she has difficulty communicating with Dale. I've said this before but it deserves to be said again: In so many ways, they're both struggling to know how progress their relationship beyond 'hanging out' and sex. Maybe it doesn't need any more but I would suggest that this arc contradicts that.
Oh, and cat-smile!Marigold in panel 3 is the high water mark of her cuteness to date.

1. It reminded me of the hug that led to Clairten (2800)
2. Much cuter Marigold here than in the strip that Jeph promoted as the height of her cuteness (3684).
pwhodges:
Fruits Basket is one of my favourite animes (though the manga is better - the anime covers only about 1/3 of it). The climax of the anime (unlike the manga) is when Tōru realises (as her friends are telling her) that, in spite of appearances, she and Kyō really are meant to be together. So the title of this strip links twice to the anime - referencing both the drama and the joke (the fruit) which gives the anime its name.
As Tōru comes to this realisation, this piece of piano music plays (this recording is from while I was arranging/learning it - I play it a bit better now).
