Bar none, my favorite non-verbal moment is from the pilot "Serenity", when Kaylee takes a bite of a strawberry. It seems to be somewhere between sex and a religious moment for her, and her expressions make it one of the most sensual non-sex moments on Firefly.
I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

Sort of surprised I didn't read this one yet.
Safe - How Zoe and Mal looked when the Alliance officer finished checking Book's Ident card and gave the order for him to be taken to the infirmary.

Two From Shindig
-Kaylee's face when Mal makes the "sheep on it's hind legs" remark.
-Kaylee in the engine room after Mal tells her he's got work for her, you know,that face you did after your mom/dad/whoever was done lecturing you.

I love Simon's expressions in the deleted scene on the DVD from Our Mrs Reynolds, when River says that she and Simon should get married and when she says she is in the family way. His expressions of confusion and 'are you insane?' looks are fantastic.
Also I love in Serenity Mal's expression when he orders Jayne to leave the table when he has insulted Kaylee. He's not messing anymore.

i thought of another. don't think it was mentioned yet.
i OOG, after the shuttles leave, mal walks through serenity closing the doors behind him, opens up a blanket, wraps it around him, sits and ...
chokes me up everytime.

One of my favourites that I didn't see mention (I apologize if I'm wrong) is near the end of War Stories, when Mal is going up the stairs and grabs Kaylee's hand affectionately.
Also, Jayne's face after Zoë (with gun aimedin his direction) tells him to tie up Dobson.

In OMR when Mal says about Saffron; "There's one thing we both have in common. We're the only two on this boat that don't think our being married is funny." And the camera pauses on Inara and her face is so expressionless and rigid that you know she is just seething inside.
At the end of OMR when Mal confronts Inara about how she "hit her head" Inara looks like she is about six years old. After Mal says what he thinks happens she has a stunned expression that is just priceless.
Anytime Simon is working on someone in the sickbay. Jayne is right outside or standing nearby. In Serenity he's looking through the window. In OOG he's standing by the door when Simon is working on Zoe and later when Mal is on the table he's right outside the door. And in Safe when Zoe and Mal are working on Book he has faded to the background. It is as if he is saying that he's strong, mean and dangerous, but when it comes to healing he's helpless.
At the end of Shindig when Kaylee walks back through Serenity and goes into her room to sit and look at her party dress, what a great character moment.
So sue me if I can't think of only ONE moment that I love.
The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

Ok, I just thought of another one.
In Out of Gas, when Mal and Wash are having the whole "make the signal go farther" arguement: Wash says something to the effect of "that would just screw up their navigation. They'd have to stop and dig the signal out.." or whatever, and you can see Mal about to burst a blood vessel. He's just got this look on his face like "I'm not gonna hit him. I'm not gonna hit him." Perhaps I'm twisted, but that just makes me laugh.
"We're just happy to be doin' good works."
