The Opera in the Outback Caper (Season 1, Episode 6)

While investigating V.I.L.E. activity at the Sydney Opera House, Carmen is accidentally exposed to a hypnotic suggestion meant for Jeanine Dennam, a rocket scientist attending the performance. Carmen and her team learn that the suggestion is meant to force Dennam to launch a defective rocket before it is ready, spreading debris across the Australian Outback. They arrive at the rocket launch site to stop the impending disaster, but when V.I.L.E. plays the trigger music over the loudspeaker system, it's Carmen herself who becomes the threat.

The Fashionista Caper (Season 2, Episode 4)

V.I.L.E., now in debt due to Carmen's interference, launches a plan to steal and sell off four original 14th century Medici costumes from a Milan fashion show. Instead of carrying out the heist themselves, they use mind control devices hidden in hats to hypnotize the models into stealing the dresses for them. Carmen teams up with Argent to fight off the brainwashed women and return the dresses safely to their museum.

The Viennese Waltz Caper (Season 4, Episode 7)

Carmen is kidnapped and brainwashed into believing that she has always been a loyal agent of V.I.L.E. Her kidnappers also erase her ability to feel empathy or guilt, turning her into a cold and remorseless thief who leads a team of V.I.L.E. agents to Vienna to steal a priceless violin.

Six months later, a still-brainwashed Carmen has carried out enough heists to replenish V.I.L.E.'s depleted finances. She is offered, and accepts, a seat on V.I.L.E.'s board of directors, taking her place among her former criminal enemies.
