This has sort of bothered me. Because when he was in Neverland, when we needed to know how he was doing because of the Dreamshade, he would pull up his shirt and we would see how he was doing. (Josh has really nice abs, BTW).
Besides that, once Charming returned to Storybrooke, he seemed alright and after Gold gave him the potion and he drank it, he didn’t pull up his shirt so we could see if he was really healed.
So, my thoughts are:
The water from Neverland cured him after all. The potion was only a [the that thing they do in tests that doesn’t really do anything but you think it does something. I can’t think of the term right now.]
Other wise, it just seems odd that we wouldn’t see if it really worked or not [why didn’t Josh lift his shirt, seriously?!!].
[adrotate group="5"]It didn’t occur to me that it might be a placebo, but that scene did strike me as odd. Honestly, would you just drink a potion made by Mr. Gold without some sort of second thought? Seriously? Redeemed or not, I still don’t trust him. David had no choice, he had to trust, but still.
David did seem a tiny bit frisky after drinking it though. Maybe Gold spiked that potion with a little something he (Gold) might need at a later date.
The water cured the poison, yes.
But it insured that he wasn’t allowed to leave NL. Drinking the water dooms you to stay in NL forever. So Snow and Charming went and got enough for him to drink once they got back to SB until Gold made the potion that would cure the water dilemma.
EDIT
I made it a little confusing so I’m going to try it again.
The water only works so long as you continuously drink it. Once you are out of NL and have no more water, the poison comes back and you die (Liam).
So Hook’s water solution is great so long as Charming stays in NL and keeps drinking the water. However, once Charming leaves he has to take water with him (which he and Snow do in 308) until Rumple gave him the potion in order to rid the poison from Charming once and for all.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"If Charming hadn’t had the supply of water with him, he’d have keeled over and died just like Liam did. They didn’t have an infinite supply of the water in SB, so needed Rumple to make the permanent cure.

Placebo effect! Yes, thank you! That’s what I was trying to think of. The potion was a placebo effect.

Like Phee and I pointed out, that’s not what is happening here. When Charming left NL and ran out of water, he would have died. Gold solved the poison solution permanently.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"But why then, didn’t Charming pull up his shirt to see if it was really taking effect?
He was in a public place?
And the way he was reacting, he was clearly have a sensation of it working. Like he could feel the poison going away for good.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I guess so. It just seemed odd. Every time we’ve needed to see how Charming was doing in Neverland with the Dreamshade, he’d pull up his shirt.
Granny probably would have had a fit and lectured him about exposure in public places.

I would have paid money to see Granny lecture him.
Something about public decency and her establishment and just because he’s a prince don’t mean he can…yadda yadda yadda.
