I do not think the show will reference the "other princess", who married the prince. Instead, Ariel and Prince Eric will seperated by different Lands.... Ariel in Neverland, while Eric is still in the Enchanted Forest.

Maybe, instead of True Love's Kiss turning Ariel permanently human, it will revert her back into a mermaid. Due to the spell, that caused her transformation, being of Dark Magic. Of course, Regina let out that little detail.... she does enjoy screwing with people's lives.

I can imagine Ariel being almost antagonistic (when we first meet her in present-day), due to what happened in the flashback. Perhaps, going as far as to try to kill Regina. Also, Eric's current location will not be revealed until the end of "Ariel". I guess Regina is the one who separated them so she will, figuratively speaking, take the part of the other princess. Since all three storylines (Neverland, Storybrook and EF) will be conected in the ned, Prince Eric may team up with Neal and the others unless he is in Storybrook insead of EF.

I agree with you about Ariel being antagonistic when we meet her but I think she will eventually become an ally to the group (similar to Aurora in the second season).
