I used to watch this show in reruns and wanted to rewatch an episode, but didn't know which one it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. The only thing I remember about the episode is that Jared and a women are sitting in her sisters livingroom, and the woman Jared is with tells her sisters husband, Jared does something with airplanes I believe trying to impress her sister and her husband, and the husband asked Jared a question about something that the woman is scared he doesnt know and Jared rattles of a perfect response to it. Please help if you can....

My first guess would be "Road Trip"(s.4 ep.5). After checking the transcript I'm now pretty sure it is.

Here's the transcript of the scene I think you are looking for:

Linda
I swear, he hasn't had a minute to rest. He's taken over the firm from Dad. It's been such a success. They must have 20 partners now. So, what do you do, Jarod?

Jarod
Hmm? Uh, a little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Zoe
Oh, don't be so modest, honey. Jarod's an aerospace engineer. He designs commercial jetliners.

Greg
Small world. I run the F.A.A.'s propulsion research facility in Red Valley. What do you make of these new 6250s comin' out of Northum?

Jarod
Well, they'll look a lot better after they sort out their preignition wire bus problems. The S.Q. gyro platforms tend to shimmy at high R.P.M.s which could throw off the whole telemetry.

I hope this is the episode you are looking for. Happy rewatching :D

Howdy Dale!

As I've been binging the series for the last week or so, I can tell you both the name of the episode and Season/Number in which it aired. Not sure if you'll get this response, if you finally got an answer or actually saw the episode in question, but the girl is named Zoe, it's a fabulous entry in the series and Jarod actually knew MORE than Zoe's brother-in-law! 

"Road Trip" S/4 E/5. 

Happy viewing, the show actually holds up incredibly well for something from the 90's-2000.

And NOW I feel REALLY STUPID! You did get the answer, it was the right one and I didn't read the whole thread!

BUT…. the show I loved like you did is STILL worth rewatching (or "marathoning" in my case ) and if you haven't seen it in a while it's genuinely worth going back for! Unlike the show that was on with it on NBC all those years ago (that had 4-5 crossovers with Jarod in them) called Profiler. I love Ally Walker and the whole rest of the cast but the show itself just doesn't seem very captivating anymore. 
