Smolder (tangled)

Hi
I was seeing one of the latest Disney movies, Tangled (aka Rapunzel).
One moment the male charracter (Flynn) is tied to a chair.
He tries to convince/flirt with her female warden (Rapunzel) and he does the "smolder" (sort of a charismatic-rmantic-funny face) .
I think there are some youtube films, but I have no youtube here, only look for "Smolder" and "tangled".
But... what does really "smolder" means?

Definition of SMOLDER
intransitive verb
1a : to burn sluggishly, without flame, and often with much smoke b : to be consumed by smoldering —often used with out
2: to exist in a state of suppressed activity <hostilities smoldered for years>
3: to show suppressed anger, hate, or jealousy <eyes smoldering with hate>
See smolder defined for English-language learners ยป
I have to suppose it's option 2 or 3 and the "smolder" must suppress Rapunzel??
