She snarks back, but she also gives a genuine smile - not a Slasher Smile or a Psycho Smirk, but a heartfelt "I'm fighting this grin because you're making fun of me" smile.
And if they do wind up in a relationship, a Paragon Shepard can snark at her when she expresses how unsure she is because a supportive relationship is so alien to her. That's got to evoke at least a few warm fuzzies in even the most jaded soul. Even if they don't form a romantic relationship and only become friends, Paragon!Shepard's kindness is enough to make Jack completely change the direction of her life and go from a broken psychopath bent on nothing but revenge and hatred into a respected (if unconventional) trainer at an elite academy who genuinely cares for her students. She's lived in a Crapsack World for so long, the one thing that throws her for a loop is kindness. I didn't say you weren't worth staying for anyway. Guess you'll be spending a little more time upstairs. Shepard: I can't make that all go away, Jack. The lead-up just shows how Shepard can care so much for his crew. The best part may be continually talking to her. It really drives home just how vulnerable Jack is at that moment. The way she's just standing there, totally unable to express herself, and then Shepard just strokes her cheek and tells her "It's okay," before she hugs him with a desperate, yearning expression. The scene reaches its crowning moment with her lying in Shepard's arms. Knowing Jack finally found someone she can love and be with, without having to worry about back stabbing or abandonment, is wonderful. When she confronts you, she finally breaks down and cries, overcome by the idea that for the first time in her life, someone genuinely loves her. This is so beautiful it almost - and has - made people cry. Quoted: "I consider my body's death and a chill settles my gut. At the end of Thane's romance scene where he is crying openly, admitting that he is afraid of death once again now that he has someone to live for. and I never imagined that you'd ever see past. I watched you stand strong against everything the galaxy threw at you. I watched your face as Chief Williams/Lieutenant Alenko died on Virmire. Tali: If it were just me? You risked your own life to save the colonists on Feros two years ago. 
Shepard: And if you weren't jeopardizing anything? Listening to what they say really tugs on the heartstrings, and shows how well BioWare can make characters that you truly feel for. Jack and Miranda reaching out beyond the layers upon layers of defense mechanisms and bitterness they have each constructed to realize that Shepard is being genuine and doesn't just want to use them.Thane's realization that he has yet something to live for after meeting Shepard and the subsequent "awakening" that brings back the fear of death.The underlying tone that Shepard is Garrus' closest remaining friend, which overcomes all obstacles as long as they can have something that goes right.Tali's stunned and almost grateful reaction when she hears that Shepard returns the feelings she's been hiding since their first meeting.Some of the most touching moments of the romances are: The focus for them isn't even on the sex, it's all about trust and how far they have come. The romance paths for Tali, Garrus, Thane and the Paragon versions for Jack and Miranda certainly qualify.
