And interesting connection: that sneak peek, we see Aladdin's hand shaking. There was a scene that people saw at filming that was just of Emma walking out of Granny's holding her wrist. (https://twitter.com/katmtan/status/753781329683066881) They will definitly parallel Aladdin in flashback with Emma in present day, so whatever problems Aladdin is having in flashback, Emma will probably have in present day.
