Did T'Pol ever smile? Ever!

Spock and Tuvok were seen smiling a few times, while "not being their usual selves" for whatever reason; Spock even smiled in the pilot just because he saw a nice flower.

But I can't remember ever seeing a smile on T'Pol's face, even when going through Pon farr, or pretending to be human (OK that was her great grandma, but I would have counted it).

Google reckons she did, but doesn't identify any specific scenes.

I'm not going to fast-forward through every episode, so can anyone with a better memory enlighten me?
 
She had a couple of great laughs in the blooper reels.
My favorite was from the first season, when she got pranked by Scott Bakula.
Otherwise, I don't remember a smile during regular programming.

There are several instances where she's shed tears, in seasons 3 and 4.

Mind you, I've never seen The Abomination (i.e. the "last" episode), so I can't vouch for what occurs there.
 
I've just re-watched "Bounty" (the Pon farr episode). She was very emotional, but no smile. She probably would have if Phlox had obliged (and so would he, probably).
 
Does it count if she's imaginary? ;)

Well remembered!

Just watched it, the dialog was:

Reed: Is it alright if I call you T'Pol?
T'Pol: Yes. May I call you Malcolm?
Reed: I suppose so, but if the truth be known, I never much cared for the name Malcolm. It always seemed a bit too stuffy.
T'Pol: I think it's a lovely name. Malcolm is the Vulcan word for serenity.
Reed: Well then, perhaps I won't change it. Pity though, I was rather getting fond of the name.. Stinky.
(T'pol smiles)
Reed: I can't believe you just did that.
T'Pol: Did what?
Reed: You smiled. I saw you smile.
T'Pol: Vulcans don't smile.
Reed: This one does. I saw you.
T'Pol: You're mistaken.
Reed: It was when I said "Stinky", wasn't it? You smiled when I said "Stinky". Good morning Stinky. It's a lovely day isn't it, Stinky?
(T'Pol smiles again. T'Pol and Reed go in for a kiss. A noise interrupts them. Reed wakes up)
Trip: I've got the receiver working, but the transmitter's a lost cause. Who's Stinky?
