Okay, here's the scene:
Spoiler:
A guy is welding something next to a puddle jumper. Yes, folks, sparks are quite literally flying in this scene. We hear John directing people to do stuff. Elizabeth comes around the jumper, looking at the welder in confusion.
Elizabeth: [coming up to the back hatch] What's all this? [voice raised to be heard over the welding]
John: [looking up at her] Ah, this is my plan! [He hands his tablet to someone else in the jumper and heads up to Elizabeth.]
Elizabeth: [looking around] Yeah, I figured that much. Care to elaborate?
John: [brushing past her and turning to face her] Well, Doctors Moore and McNabb are here to study the ocean on M8R-169, which happens to be under a thick sheet of ice, so they brought a thousand-foot cable and a pretty powerful winch to lower their instruments.
Elizabeth: Okay...
John: And, uh, Eggert [sp?] over here is responsible for the magnetic grapple designed to lower the F-302s into our jumper bay.
Elizabeth: And you intend to put the two together.
John: Chocolate and peanut butter.
Elizabeth: Is the mechanism going to be strong enough to lift a half-flooded jumper out of the water?
John: Not a chance.
Elizabeth: So then why–
John: Because we don't have to. We just have to get it near enough to the surface so we can get McKay and Griffin out with a cutting team and rescue divers.
Elizabeth: Good. How long?
John: Couple hours.
Elizabeth: You and Rodney have been bugging me for a chance to try a jumper as a submersible, but you sure went a hell of a long way to make me say yes.
John: You still haven't said it yet.
Elizabeth: I just did.
John: [runs around her to get back to the jumper while she taps her PDA against her palm] Oh, how close is Zelenka to finding them?
Elizabeth: I'm going to go ask him. [They both run off.]
That little smile is right when she tells him she's giving him permission. Also, I'm highly amused that John comes up with all but the very last scientific solution in this episode. Elizabeth should be proud. And look! Sparks!
