Halliwell witches

from time and space.

In this episode, the spell was adapted because it was cast by Ava Nicolae (with Phoebe and Paige helping her).

SpellsEdit

To Call Upon Our AncestorsEdit

Ava Nicolae adapted the To Call Upon Our Ancestors spell in the Book of Shadows, changing the names into those of her family and replaced Halliwell witches with Nicolae Gypsies. She cast it with Phoebe and Paige, who were helping her. The spell summoned the ghosts of Teresa, Lydia, and Ava's mother (Marina), who protected Ava, Phoebe, and Paige from Orin's power. They deflected one of his own attacks, which hit him, causing his vanquish.

Nicolae gypsies stand strong beside me...

Marina, Teresa, Lydia...

Nicolae gypsies stand strong beside us,

Vanquish this evil from time and space.

PotionsEdit

Gypsy Hunter Vanquishing Potion Edit

Paige and Phoebe created a Gypsy Hunter vanquishing potion, helped by Lydia. When Lydia left to warn Ava in the hospital, Phoebe had a Premonition and knew where Lydia was. They went to the hospital as well, but they were too late: Lydia was killed by Cree, right when they arrived. Phoebe then threw the potion, vanquishing Cree.

PowersEdit

Divination: Teresa read Phoebe's palms. She was able to see that Phoebe was a Witch with the power of Foresight, some of Phoebe's character traits and that Phoebe's power was blocked due to stress and overworking. Lydia read thea leaves to foresee Phoebe's future. Paige read Lydia's thea leaves.
Premonition: While holding hands, Teresa intercepted a vision that was meant for Phoebe. She saw that a Gypsy Hunter was coming for her. Phoebe later had a Premonition of Lydia being attacked by Cree and one of Ava being attacked by him.
Energy Beam: Used by Cree to attack Teresa and Lydia and by Orin to kill a mouse. Cree later tried to attack the Charmed Ones and Lydia, but Paige orbed them out. Later he succeeded in killing Lydia.
Floating: Used by Phoebe to show she wasn't able to levitate.
Orbing: Type of Teleportation used by Leo and Paige.
Clairvoyance: Orin developed some kind of second sight, allowing him to observe his son and the Nicolaes.
Optical Energy Blasts: Used by Lydia to attack Cree. Orin later used it to attack Piper, Leo, Phoebe, Paige and Ava.
Molecular Combustion: Used by Piper to blast Cree.
Levitation: Used by Cree to levitate upon a wood pile.

BeingsEdit

Magical BeingsEdit

Ava Nicolae - A Gypsy. After her mother died, she rejected her heritage and became a doctor. After Gypsy Hunters killed Teresa and Lydia, the Charmed Ones protected her from Orin. After Orin's vanquish, Ava became a Gypsy Shuvani, returning to her heritage.
Teresa - A fortune teller. She was killed by Cree in order for her eyes.
Lydia Nicolae - After Orin found out Teresa' eyes weren't the ones he was looking for, he sent his son after Lydia. He killed her, but the Charmed Ones vanquished him before he could take her eyes out. Orin did it himself in the morgue.
Orin - A Gypsy Hunter. He was cursed with blindness by the Evil Eye, and only the Evil Eye could reverse it. He ordered his son, Cree, to go after the Nicolae Gypsies, knowing that one of them beared the Evil Eye. After killing Teresa, they found out Lydia had the Evil Eye. Cree killed her, but couldn't take her eyes because the Charmed Ones vanquished him. Orin did it himself, in the morgue, and restored his sight and obtained Lydia's power. He was vanquished by Ava Nicolae, adapting the To Call Upon Our Ancestors spell.
Cree - Orin's son. He killed Madame Teresa and Lydia, and then got killed by the Charmed Ones with the Gypsy Hunter Vanquishing Potion.

Notes and TriviaEdit

When Piper was shot down by Orin, Wyatt didn't heal her. It could be the wound was too severe then for Wyatt to heal (as Piper's pregnancy advanced, Wyatt's powers must have grown); Leo had to heal her.
An episode of Criminal Minds is called "The Eyes Have It" as well, and it also involves someone taking eyes from people and putting them into something else.
In the first scene after the credits, Phoebe walks into the kitchen saying she hopes the coffee is leaded. Although, four years earlier, Piper said that she never makes leaded coffee, as Prue was the only one who drank it.
It's explained that a witch's power can malfunction due to stress and overwork.
Emmanuelle Vaugier (Ava) and Tobin Bell (Orin) both star in the movie Saw II and Saw IV.
Phoebe's Premonition power advances. This is the first time that Phoebe gets an Astral Premonition.
The WB Promo title for this episode is The Gypsy Curse.
The WB Trailer for this episode doesn't mention Cree or Orin.
Paige is shown to have prior knowledge about Gypsies and their magic.
In this episode, Phoebe said that she has not had a premonition in months. If you notice, since the episode "Witch Way Now?", Phoebe actually did not have a premonition in any of the episodes until this episode.
This is the only season 5 episode before "Centennial Charmed" (Cole's last appearance in season 5) that Cole does not appear in.

GlitchesEdit

When Teresa reads Phoebe's palm, she draws lines on her hand, however, when Phoebe sat down at the table at the start, the lines were already there.
Phoebe said Ava wasn't in the attic in her premonition, but she is clearly seen next to Paige.
When Phoebe is having her first astral premonition, she holds out her left hand in the kitchen but her right hand is extended in the premonition.
