What happens in panels 6 and 7 is akin to false rumors getting started, on account of someone only hearing fragments of a conversation—Lucy had heard something about “slugging someone,”and so,spying CB,thinks HE is intending to slug HER. CB,on the other hand,having just shown up,obviously does not know that Linus has just told Sally off,thus CB is confused,himself. Yes,I know that’s the punchline-that and Snoopy pretending he sees a "skirmish"going on,thus knocking the foursome down into a heap.

Yup, again, due to the tangle of dialogues and what’s interpreted from them here, in panels 6 and 7, ultimately, Lucy is challenging CB to a fist fight.
