At least the 'wide face' thing seemed like it was in service of a possible plot point, since during the first dinner date Clara mentioned that her student Courtney (who imdb indicates is the Afro-British student who challenged her authority in flashback in "Deep Breath" and bemusedly watched the secretary flirt with…

" by season four… it's the Archer/Trip/T'Pol show. Say what you will
about Voyager zeroing in on three characters, they picked two of the

I can imagine two ways Voayger would have handled things, neither of them pleasant. One, as noted below, would have been to technobabble the problem away in a manner that let its character off the hook for any moral responsibility.
