I'll assume that once they've shown it or implied it.
So far, they've only gotten to kissing.
So they're on 1st base.

We might assume that they not only rounded the bases, some producer ten years from now will use the moment to argue that Spock has another relative we have never heard of before.
So when's Sybok showing up to steal La'an from Spock? 
Deleted scene from the episode
(a shuttle lands on Vulcan and M'Benga comes out).
M'Benga: Live Long and Prosper.
Hooded Vulcan: Welcome home, Doctor M'Benga. You have done well.
M'Benga: I have good news for you, my friend Stonn. Thanks to my holodeck manipulation, La'an is now dating Spock.
Hooded Vulcan: Excellent. Everything is going as planned.

I actually have a treknology question:
Did we ever have had the situation before, that a character was "fooled" about a real person being actually a hologram instead?
E.g. in "Insurrection" the Son'a were fooled by the holographic simulation of the mcguffin device. But they didn't mistake actual people, and they were in a high-stress situation.
But off the top of my head I can't remember anyone (who knows about holograms) mistake one for a real, breathing human being with emotions, expressions, smell, personal backstory, etc.
In my headcanon holographic people were only as "realistic" to Trek characters as present day HD video-game characters would be to someone from the 18th century.
Like I never thought Riker was "fooled" by the hologram. I thought he was "impressed" by it, the way my grandad would be playing "Red Dead Redemption 2".
Could me my memory though.
Only thing I can remember is Barclay's "end program?". But that was more a joke about his nervosity (and MORIARTY - a hologram himself - not being able to spot the difference!)

Ship in a Bottle:Laforge?
Well, there was Lwaxana in "Manhunt".
Yes!
True - I remember I liked that episode a lot. But it's soo long ago - I didn't remember there was also "fake characters" in that one!
Not only that, it was totally unnecessary to the plot.
Probably drilled in her head that if she pulls that shit again, she'll be replaced permanently. Why, hello Mr. Sulu! What brings you to Enterprise?
Kind of funny 100 years later Picard, riker even days acts like holodecks are a new amazing tech. Lol
But maybe not to the larger story. I'm thinking it's going to come back and bite some people in the ass later on in the season.
What about the whole thing with Bashir's parents talking to the EMH prototype?
Not really. They were amazed at some of the newer capabilities of the 1701-D Holodeck, and remember that the Bynars further upgraded the specific 1701-D Holodeck system in TNG S1 11001001.
How long before that design turns up in the Trek Art Forum?
I loved her speech as well. Overall I loved the episode! Thought it was a lot of fun, had a lot of in jokes about TOS' production history (and to me, Mount did a good approximation of Roddenberry's voice and style here and there, and he must have loved having that bit of a gut added in makeup when he rested his hands there when he was packing to leave)
For me, just a fun episode to take a break from the heavy atmosphere of the opening of the season. Sometimes that's needed to not bog things down in being too dramatic.
They could have been a little more explicit, but the audience is supposed to be able to connect some dots ourselves after all. The gizmo La'an was wearing on her neck was why the computer was able to tailor the program to her so well. Later holodecks don't have that. Also the people were one of the reasons the computer was so stressed, so early production versions have no interactive holograms, and then just simple ones, before the TNG upgrades allow the top of the line ones with less computer stress.
I did like the connection to Voyager's Holodeck incompatibility. It makes sense that the computer is designed to draw energy and computational power as needed, and the best way to prevent a runaway nonessential program is to air gap the system.
