Redundant storylines seem to be a popular theory on the boards these days, aren’t they? So I don’t know if I’d rule out Charming getting poisoned again on that basis. There’s better reasons to rule that happening out. As others said, we have clips of him in some dream-like scenario, so I think its not really “poison” but some kind of mind-altering drug, maybe something to hypnotize Charming or give him visions and of course, Zelena will “save” him from the “poison” and earn their trust. I think that’s her game right now, to earn their trust. She fooled Snow, but she could see Charming wasn’t feeling it. She had to pull out some heavy ammo I think and that’s when she brings out the tea (and seriously, chamomile? Internet search would show this lady’s not up on her teas…!http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chamomile-tea-may-not-be-safe-during-pregnancy/) On the other hand, if she is trying to harm Charming more seriously, then perhaps her failing this time is what tips off everyone and that’s how they catch on to her.
I totally agreed with you! 🙂
