For context, Mirad, the big purple centipede, has a special power where if someone looks in her eyes she basically causes them to be completely docile. She temporary wipes any bad memories they have and any higher brain functions that could cause negative emotions are dulled. They still can see and have thoughts, but can't do anything about it and usually forget whatever thought they had a second before :) (In the case of Wilson, he's mentally strong enough to slightly break through the effect, but can't do much else.)
