I expect Eudora to die and her death is what causes Tiana's financial troubles. So, Tiana attends the ball in hopes of finding a prince  (probably Ryan's character)  to marry for help. Most likely she fails. The curse gets cast and she gets transported to HH, where her money troubles unfortunately follow her (poor Tiana). It's a toss-up whether Naveen is an EF prince that she finds before the curse is cast or a LWM character that she meets in Hyperion Heights.
