The use of the term “lagoon” makes me think even more that Ariel will be a mermaid in Neverland’s Mermaid Lagoon. They could potentially still have Hook be Ariel’s Eric, even if it’s his ship that inadvertently crushes her mother. It wouldn’t be like Hook had killed her intentionally, and Ariel may be able to see past that, while Triton wouldn’t, which would amp up the animosity between them, which would end up driving her to go to Ursula for help. Perhaps?
I definitely like this theory, plus i think in the official podcast they said they were wanting to explore if a person can find true love again?
As well I think Rumple might take on the role of Ursula, as they both have a fondness for making deals. (Ursula made deals that often led to merfolk being turned into those creepy things that gave me nightmares). Plus the name of Ursula’s main song, “Poor Unfortunate Souls”, is quite similar to the episode entitled “Desperate Souls”
