Lady put it perfectly. To sum up the reasons why Before Fourth Curse should not be a thing:
 * Histoy sections begin and end when there's a big change in:

 * The idea is not to have as many divisions as possible. The purpose of these is to divide the text into coherent history sections that are very different from the previous and the next.

There also happens to be a common misconception of what the determining events are used to divide the history section. I'm addressing this particular comment, but it goes for everyone.


 * "The pattern for determing the after one curse and before the next is when the actions are put into motion that leads to the second curse. For example, the line that is drawn from After First Curse and Before Second Curse is when they return to the EF and realize they have a witch problem. Also, the line between After Second and Before Third is when Emma becomes the Dark One."

No to both examples. Realizing they have a witch problem and Emma becoming the Dark One are not used in any case.
