Biography[]
Gypsy is first seen when the Simpsons visit her shop. She then makes sure that Marge isn't a cop. However, at the sight of Homer, she predicts that she shouldn't check on him, causing Homer to attack her, calling her a fake and a fraud as he tries to unmask her with a wart on her nose, only to get several warts on his hand in the process, which angers Gypsy, who asks him to leave. He later causes the whole shop to be destroyed after accidentally knocking things around and starting a fire. This causes Gypsy to put a curse on the whole family as revenge. Homer laughs at the curse, however, calling it a joke, despite Marge's warnings.
Several days later, the curse was actually shown to be true, as Marge grew a beard and mustache, Lisa turned into a centaur, and Maggie turned into a ladybug, while Bart's neck became extremely long after he got strangled by Homer. To get rid of the curse, Moe suggests they capture a leprechaun. However, as Homer still considers the curse a joke, Lenny and Carl are both killed by a helicopter, and Moe is stuffed inside his own jar. After multiple attempts at capturing a leprechaun, they finally succeed and bring him inside the now-repaired Gypsy's Shop, causing a fight between the two, only for them to fall in love with each other and later get married. Gypsy then tells Homer that he must apologize for trashing her shop to undo the curse, but Homer declines and declares that she isn't his boss.
