No. But she may be jealous if she finds out who her partner was.
BenRG:
This wasn't a penny dropping. This was a sack of pennies falling on Momo's head after it fell out of the upstairs window of a bank.
Based on Momo's expression in panel 5, May does not have to do much but confirm what Momo has already deduced. The question is whether May will tell her with whom she did the deed and whether a conversation will ensue about the difference between 'relationship' and 'sex as uncommitted recreation'. Momo strikes me as the sort of person who would have problems accepting that the latter is actually possible.
Jeph did a lot of good work with the art today; I particularly like how he did the crowded street in panel 1; it's a lot more complex than how he normally does these things. One thing I did notice though is that Momo is blushing like a human rather than having the little tint panels on her cheeks light up the way he normally does with anthropomimetic synthetics.

I was going to say she looks good with them, but i can see them on May and Bubbles too at least. So i think that Jeph has come up with another subtle way to distinguish AIs from humans. Like the square vs round speech bubbles.

Actually, that's how Jeph identifies a figure as female. Dora and Emily have them too; I think Tai, Faye and Claire do too but it's a bit too early in the day to go searching for panels of them without their glasses on.
MrNumbers:
Momo does have a canonical crush on Sven so...
oddtail:
Is it an art style change, or are Momo's blush panels, like, super high tech?
Been recently rereading the comic (not the entirely, but a whole lot), and blushing Bubbles/May/Roko are, from what I recall, always depicted as having somewhat animesque, short straight lines on their cheeks. And Roko's chassis is probably towards the high-end in terms of quality.
EDIT: no, sorry. I remember Roko's coworker blushing similarly (her entire face being red), and her face wasn't extremely humanlike. I think that just indicates super-intense blushing that goes beyond the narrow short line. Or maybe there are just two kinds of blush panels, depending on which aesthetic the manufacturer is going for.

I have seen them on Dora, too...
