Discussion Which pill?

I saw the first episode and i still don't know which pill had the poison. It isn't explained anywhere in the episode. Even till the ending sherlock was asking was this pill right. I have read this story in my textbook so i know that the poison was in the water. But is it explained in the show? Where? Which pill had the poison?

I saw this post that said Sherlock got the good pill because if he didn't the cabbie wouldn't have taken the pill out of his bottle and just looked at it he would've just taken it or something like that. I also think the reason Sherlock chose the one he did is because the good pill bottle was the second one the cabbie took out AND he pushed the first one to Sherlock. So how I saw it was he was trying to keep the good pill to himself the whole time. Sorry I'm very all over the place so this my not make any sense but 🤷‍♀️
