Enceladus May Harbor Hydrothermal Activity

Silica detected by the CDA doesn't have a plausible genesis other than water supersaturated with silica cooling.

Methane detected by INMS could be explained by methane being produced faster than it can be bound up in clathrates.

Wow - an ocean 45 kilometers deep, with the moon being 40% liquid water by volume? That's pretty incredible.
