The Gypsy is a woman who has a fortunetelling shop in Ethnictown. The Simpsons visit her in "Hex and the City," a segment of Treehouse of Horror XII.
The Simpons meet the Gypsy when they are walking in Ethnictown, see her fortunetelling shop, and go in. The shop has the accoutrements one would expect to find in a fortunetelling establishment: a beaded doorway, a crystal ball, Tarot cards, shrunken heads, and so on.
The Gypsy is very streetwise, almost to the point of paranoia. She goes to great lengths to make sure that Marge isn't a cop: "You gotta tell me if you are." The Gypsy's street smarts are vindicated, however, when on first sight of Homer, she "senses" that she shouldn't take a check from him.
When Homer trashes her shop (by flailing about when the beads in the doorway feak him out), the Gypsy gets angry and puts a curse on him; "You will bring bad luck to everyone you love!"
Over the next several days, Homer's family and friends suffer various horrible fates (see below). Moe tells Homer that a Leprechaun can get rid of a curse. When Homer captures a Leprechaun and nothing changes, Lisa suggests that he sic it on the Gypsy. Homer returns to the Gypsy's shop (which is now fully repaired) and does just that. Initially, the Gypsy and the Leprechaun roll around on the floor fighting each other, but the fighting turns to kissing. To Homer's disgust ("Eeeewww! Nasty!"), they've fallen in love.
The Gypsy and the Leprechaun end up getting married, and Homer and Marge attend the wedding.
The Gypsy is not without compassion. She said that she would undo the curses if Homer apologized for trashing her shop, but he refused: "She's not the boss of me."
Curses
Homer's friends and family suffer as follows from the Gypsy's curse:
- Marge has a beard and mustache the morning after they visit the Gypsy's shop, and she ends up entirely covered with hair.
- Lisa turns into a centaur.
- Maggie turns into a ladybug.
- Bart's neck stretches (as the result of a strangling) to the point where he can't hold his head up. He eventually dies.
- Carl and Lenny are killed when a helicopter crashes into Moe's Tavern and lands on top of them.
- Moe ends up floating inside his suddenly-enlarged pickled egg jar, to Homer's shock ("How did that happen?").
