The Third Component (Le Troisième Composant) (Season 1, Episode 4)
Zantafio plots to steal a disinigrator ray that de Champignac and his friends disassembled and hid in three different places years ago for safety. To do so, he disguises himself as a movie producer and hypnotizes actress Luna Fatale, who is making a movie about a catburgler, into performing real-life high-tech heists for him. It's up to Spirou and Fantasio to save their friend and prevent her from stealing all three pieces of the ray gun before it's too late.

Round and Round (Formez le Cercle) (Season 1, Episode 11)
Zorglub's hypnotic television signals entrance populations around the world, causing them to gather in specific places to stamp their feet, all in the hopes of altering the Earth's axis.

The Mysterious Paparazzi (Super Paparazzi) (Season 1, Episode 22)
Spirou and Luna Fatale find a picture of themselves in a newspaper, locked in a passionate kiss, only they dont remember kissing each other. Other celebrities come forward to complain about similar "faked" photos, but the editor of the newspaper shows them all the original photos to prove his innocence. The gang leans that a photographer is using a hypnotic camera flash to entrance and freeze his subjects, allowing him to pose them for embarassing photos. Things escalate when the photographer begins staging more elaborate- and more dangerous- photos in an effort to become world-famous.
