The official synopsis of the episode, per IMDb, reads,

"Colette is crushed to learn that Noa is dating someone; Barb tries to find out who is defacing DMV property with childishly inappropriate drawings."

The episode opens with Colette discovering that Noa is openly dating Mary. Instead of accepting the same, she fixates on the relationship and desperately seeks advice from Ceci. Ceci performs some witchcraft rituals, and even this doesn't sway Colette as she desperately wants to feel better. Colette gets a picture of Noa printed. As part of "rituals", Ceci places Noa's photo tied with a red string in the office freezer. When Noa finds this, he panics and is almost convinced that his New Zealand stalker has returned.

Colette’s attempt to deflect suspicion only drags Ceci into the mess, triggering a chain of misunderstandings. Here comes Colette and Noa's most genuine moment so far, while Noa remains unaware that Colette is the reason behind this madness in the first place.

This sequence suggests an absurd pull-push between the two characters. In a scene, Noa softens towards Colette and compliments her, which suggests that beneath the melodrama, there could be something genuine between them. However, not everyone is honest, as Colette is lying and manipulating Noa while keeping him in the dark. This gives the relationship a weird, unsteady foundation.

Therefore, we can say that the viewers might not be rooting for Colette here as her actions are crossing boundaries. She isn't just romantically involved with Noa, but is also obsessive.

Barb is distressed because of the drawings popping up every time on office safety posters. She insists that these are rockets while other staff members see them as penises. This leads to a clash between Gregg and Vic as they argue over who is responsible for this. Vic denies any involvement to everyone's surprise. This leads to some hilarious moments when, at last, the culprit turns out to be a kid waiting in line, who really is drawing rockets.

Therefore, we can say that episode 6 was mostly about Colette controlling and manipulating the situation while Noa remains a confused observer. Colette, while attempting to hide her involvement, says that it was part of Ceci's ritual. This way, she drags her into his mess while she gets distanced. The ending of the episode is quite loose as Colette doesn't completely win. There will always be an awkward layer in their relationship now.


Episode 7 of DMV is releasing on 24 November 2025.
