Gypsies are especially attuned to magic around them and are good at channeling magic and divination.

[edit] Trivia
- The title of this episode is a play on words to the phrase The aye's have it!, which is uttered when a vote is taken in which people who agree to something reply with "aye", meaning yes.
- Another title used in promotional commercials by The WB was The Gypsy's Curse.
- Phoebe's premonition powers increase in this episode, which made her injured through her own version of astral projection.
- The gypsies in this episode use the Evil Eye as a protection against evil.
- When Madame Theresa is reading Phoebe's palm she doesn't ask her whether she is left or right-handed. When reading somebody's palm you are supposed to read the hand that they don't write with.
- In the episode it is said that the gypsies speak Romanian. True Romanian gypsies, who like to be referred to as "Roma population," do not speak Romanian, but Romani.
- When the Gypsy reads Phoebe's palm she draws lines on Phoebe's hand however when Phoebe sat down at the table the lines were already visible on her hand before they had been drawn there.
- When Phoebe is having her advanced premonition, you see Piper, Paige and Leo talking to each other, then the camera switchs and you can see Ava too. Later, Paige says that Ava didn't appear in Phoebe's premonition.
