Reply To: What Will Charming Do Now?

[Slurpeez]

I think there must be an antidote. Recall what Rumple said after Hook poisoned him:

Mr. Gold: It’s poison. It’s one of Hook’s own making. There’s no antidote in this world. It’s… It’s not from here. (from “The Queen is Dead”)

Just because there was no antidote in A Land Without Magic doesn’t preclude the possibility of there being an antidote in another world (i.e. Neverland). Also, if there were no cure whatsoever then Rumple would have said there is no known anti doe in ANY world. And since Charming and the gang are now in NL, which is indigenous to the dreamshade plant, then there must also exist a cure there since antidotes are made from the source of the poison.

ETA: I have a crack theory that Cora used the dreamshade poison to murder Queen Eva (though in a much more concentrated dose, judging by how quickly Eva died). It would be super painful for Snow to realize that the poison which killed her mother is now slowly killing her husband.
