Unfortunately, based on K & H’s comments, it looks like we either won’t get Ariel anytime soon (end of the season, if at all in S3) or her story will be some short one-and-done type deal, which no one wants. However, it’s a very really possibility because in the original, the mermaid and the prince don’t end up together; she saves him from drowning but he thinks another girl did it and falls in love with her and the mermaid does because the deal sheave with the sea hag was that if she didn’t get him to fall in love with her, she would die. So I could see K & H using her to save someone she loved from afar: Peter Pan, possibly, since it sounds like in Neverland both he and the mermaids aren’t very nice, or Hook, or maybe even Phillip from the Wraith.
Or K&H could wait and make her story awesome and Ariel a major character.
Also I predict that Ursula won’t be a new character, but either Regina “mermaid trouble” line) or Rumple (“squid ink” line and penchant for making deals).
[adrotate group="5"]I don’t think THO had anything to do with it, because then they would have known about Henry for a LONG time before they even first got into Storybrooke, and it seemed to me like they came to SB to destroy magic but after that initial goal found Henry and decided that getting him was more important. I think that either August, in an attempt to get Emma back on the path of breaking the curse, or Mr. Gold, as part of his “procuring” Henry for Regina, convinced her. Of course, both of these characters would have had to go through someone else to talk to Emma or Emma would have recognized them in SB.
Other possibility: Some outside party we’ve yet to meet (or, yes, maybe the Home Office) has been interested in breaking the curse from the beginning. This person convinced August to go break up Emma and Neal and told August that Neal was Baelfire, convinced Emma to give Henry up for adoption and then connected baby Henry to Gold when Gold was looking for a baby for Regina, and gave Mary Margaret the book and suggested that Henry might need it. I’m calling this my Mastermind theory, and I personally think that the outside party might be the Blue Fairy.
My theory for how Peter Pan and the HO are connected hinges on the fact that Pan somehow knew what Henry was going to look like before he was born. I’m therefore assuming a parallel time between the two worlds (though days may past faster, time is still parallel).
Peter Pan has the power to see the future (or knows someone who does – Tinkerbell, mermaids) and is engaged in a centuries-old battle against the Dark One. Not Rumple specifically, Dark Ones in general as the holders of the darkest of magic). This would be consistent with the goal of the HO of destroying magic; Pan decides that it’s safer for worlds without magic to just not get it at all and not have to fight over good or evil use of it, and so he starts the HO to travel to non-magical worlds threatened with magic and eradicate it. And he somehow knows that Henry will be the undoing of a Dark One someday, which is why he is searching for it. The most off-the-wall side part of my theory: Pan is either controlled by the Blue Fairy or is the Blue Fairy, as is his Shadow. (There’s just something scheming about her, and we know she doesn’t like Rumple or dark magic.)
I would like to see Rumple in the intermediate phase between getting his powers and being an evil crusty goblin. Or did he just turn into that all of a sudden for some reason? Anyway, I’d like to see what caused that.
Also, I would love some Hook backstory, and of course what he and Bae were up to when they were in Neverland all that time. And how they both got out.
And I want to see the dwarves, Red and Granny, and Belle team up to keep Storybrooke under control. I really think this is a chance for Spencer to try to grab power. Seems strange that he was only really a villain in SB for one episode, and then we never heard from him again. So I hope he pops up and the gang in SB stops him.
Finally, if they could maybe possibly at all fit it in, I would like more Mad Hatter (though SS’s sched makes it seem unlikely) and Frankenstein.
I think that we’ll see more Belle next season, and while it was super shocking that Rumple asked her to stay behind, I don’t think Belle is the type to be begging her guy to stay with her or take her somewhere, especially when there’s work to be done. She’s brave and smart, she’ll figure out how to get back together.
I really loved that moment in the episode where Rumple questioned Plot Device Fairy. When the dwarves got the potion, he was all like, What? Why now? And Grumpy was so quick to defend, saying “She’s been working on it all along.” I think that the BF’s convenient magical successes and failures will be addressed next season. Can anyone say ulterior motives?

Awwww this is my favorite thing that’s ever been posted. Yes yes yes! <3
I also doubt the shadow is Bae’s, but it would be way too big of a coincidence for his arrival at the Darling home to have nothing to do with it. We’ve already seen that Rumplestiltskin has some sort of control over at least one Wraith, which seem to be similar to the shadow (scared of light and all). What if the shadow was an early attempt of Rumple’s to find his son, and it went awry? Or this shadow will somehow lead Rumple to controlling that Wraith in Storybrooke?
You get the idea that the curse has been active for 10 years from the line of Be Our Guest where they say it’s been that long since they’ve had a guest. Maybe the curse was only active for a few years (since he was 19 or so) and he was just such a jerk before that that no one had stayed there with them since he was 11.
I definitely like this idea, because we’re seeing some Whale characteristics that might be unnecessary unless he were someone besides just Frankenstein. Like, where’d the whole skeeving on women thing come from? That, and his whole steampunk vibe, really say “Wizard of Oz” to me.
Idea based on that: If Whale is Oz, maybe Tamara USED to be the WWW. He helped Dorothy steal her powers, leaving her “quite human,” and desperate to steal some back. And she doesn’t know he’s in Storybrooke, because he’s not in the book, but when she finds out they’ll have a showdown.
A lot of people are trying to connect the fairy godmother in the Cinderella episode to Tamara and/or Robin and Marian. This could totally make sense if (and I’m about to drop a crazy, almost-no-supporting-evidence theory) Marian was the daughter of Tinkerbell or connected to her somehow. What if Robin Hood was Peter Pan? What if he fell in love with a fairy (Marian) who gave up being a fairy to be with him? What if they ran away together to another world, and another fairy (Tinkerbell) followed them and then became a fairy godmother in the new world? And what if Marian and Robin’s baby was angry at her mother for having magic and giving it up, and spent the rest of her life trying to steal magic from others so she could be the fairy she feels she should’ve been born as? (Once again, that was all crazy speculation stuff based on the idea of Robin Hood being Peter Pan.)
