Do you think Barclay and Troi had sex when they went on a date at the end of "The Nth Degree"?

I'm curious if Troi and Barclay got together sexually after the end of the mentioned episode, when she had that date with him.

Based on her importance for him during Voyager, i believe the answer might be yes...
 
I’d never given it a moments thought before now, but why wouldn’t they? Enlightened 24th century folk, it’d be rude not to.
I think Roddenberry wanted future human society in Trek to be more libertine the way it was already portrayed in much of literary sci-fi, but mainstream TV audiences weren't quite ready for that.

As his counselor, Troi would not have crossed that boundary, even though she found the super IQ Barclay quite attractive.

Why would it be rude not to? :confused:

If Troi doesn't want to sleep with Barclay, she is in no way obligated to do so. She may have agreed to go on a friendly date with him, but there's no reason it has to go any further than that. (And Barclay, being the nice guy that he is, would never expect it to.)

However "enlightened" that 24th-century society may be, there will always be boundaries. "No" is always going to mean no.
 
@Armus : She dated Worf before she got together with Riker again and even married him. Both were technically patients of her.

I always believed that during the 24th
century in Trek many people were supposed to be more understanding and accepting of personal issues others may have and are more sexually enlightened than many contemporary people. Maybe Troi became really attracted enough to Barclay to seal the deal.

Not even as pity sex. And besides ... she knows all about the depths of his desperation ... all of the pathetic, unfortunate details regarding his failed and useless Human Adventure outside of the Holodeck and beyond this episode.
