We still have 3 episodes left, so anything  can happen. Also I would love to find out about meaning of "Ariel" (aside from being just a story Lorraine used to read to Lydia)

Isn't mermaids somehow connected to banshees? Maybe the "scream" thing. Because I always thought that they have some sort of connection, especially that in some folklore (for example in mine, Slovakian), "mermaids" are called "sirens" and they usually scream.

Thanks to your post I think the "connection" is that Lorraine called Lydia - Ariel, who is a mermaid, which as you've stated is a "siren" in your folklore. When in fact Lydia is a Banshee (aka "siren" in other folklore).

In Hebrew, Ariel means Lion of God. Lions roar so maybe that could be a loose connection as well.
