I mean, he is her true love and Regina told her that Eric would be in Storybrooke, but by the looks of the promo she isn't looking for him at all. I know the promo isn't much to go for, but it's just a thought. I mean, she waited more that 28 years to get a chance to talk to Eric and now she may be in the place where he is and she has her voice back. Why is she helping Regina, who was the source of her misery? Prince Eric is Ariel's prize, if she successfully accomplishes her mission.

All magic comes with a price, and Regina returned Ariel's voice and gave her legs. Regina only told Ariel that Eric is Storybrooke, as an incentive for her help. If she does not help, she will loose her second chance at true love. I still found it odd that OUaT seems to have True Love and Infatuation as a same thing. Ariel obviously had an infatuation when she saw Eric... But they never speaked, he was even asleep <.< So whatever Ariel felt was nothing more than physical attraction. Yet, I'd like to see how they actually get to know each other in SB and, pretty likely, fall in -serious- love.

Getting back to the topic, I think that whatever they are looking for in the mines has nothing to do with SPOILERS ---> whatever <--- SPOILERS Mr. Gold wants Ariel to bring to him. In my opinion, they just need to mine as a procedure to cast that cloaking spell.

But well, I could be wrong XD Maybe what Gold wants is actually in the mines and not in his shop (as I expect).
