This is just a speculation (so disclaimer, a salt shaker to go along with it), and I’m going to tag my co-conspirator @j-philly-b (if you have more to add, go for it) because she and I speculated this, offline, some months ago, and now with episode 6×12 out of the way, it just seems clearer that Killian’s mission will be to break Snowing out of the sleeping curse for the reasons that we know.
I’m going to start with the people that will be in episode 6×15.
- Captain Nemo (he’s also in episode 6×14);
- 2.0;
- Ariel and Eric;
- Aladdin and Jasmine
- Jafar
So I have no clue why Aladdin, Jasmine and Jafar are part of the episode, other than the show doesn’t know when to cut it losses (or ABC wanted them to do this story), I don’t know how those 3 fit into all of this. But apparently, Jasmine and Ariel know each other. I guess there’s a possibility that mute Ariel may have traveled to Agrabah because Eric was headed there as part of his long voyage.
