What's the purpose of the grenade then? He poisoned her, then blew up with a grenade. Why?

There was no poison. You're supposed to think she's poisoned, but he meant the grenade.

It's supposed to be a one-two punch. You're expecting him to kill her with cyanide, but it turns out you were mistaken! Then he kills her anyway

This kind of joke can totally work in a well-paced comedy, but not a two sentence horror. It's a stretch to do it in two sentences.
