The Irish Civil War was a conflict that followed the Irish War of Independence and accompanied the establishment of the Irish Free State, an entity independent from the United Kingdom but within the British Empire. The civil war was waged between two opposing groups, the pro-treaty Provisional Government and the anti-treaty IRA, over the Anglo-Irish Treaty; the forces of the Provisional Government supported the Treaty, while the anti-treaty opposition saw it as a betrayal of the Irish Republic. Many of those who fought on both sides in the conflict had been members of the Irish Republican Army during the War of Independence; the Civil War was won by the pro-treaty Free State forces, who benefited from substantial quantities of weapons provided by the British Government. The conflict may have claimed more lives than the War of Independence that preceded it, left Irish society divided and embittered for generations. Today, two of the main political parties in the Republic of Ireland, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, are direct descendants of the opposing sides of the war.

The Anglo-Irish Treaty was agreed to end the 1919–1921 Irish War of Independence between the Irish Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The treaty provided for a self-governing Irish state, having its own police; the Treaty allowed Northern Ireland to opt out of the new state and return to the United Kingdom – which it did immediately. However, rather than creating the independent republic favoured by most nationalists, the Irish Free State would be an autonomous dominion of the British Empire with the British monarch as head of state, in the same manner as Canada and Australia; the British suggested dominion status in secret correspondence before treaty negotiations began, but Sinn Féin leader Éamon de Valera rejected the dominion. The treaty stipulated that members of the new Irish Oireachtas would have to take the following "Oath of Allegiance" I... do solemnly swear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the Irish Free State as by law established, that I will be faithful to His Majesty King George V, his heirs and successors by law in virtue of the common citizenship of Ireland with Great Britain and her adherence to and membership of the group of nations forming the British Commonwealth of nations.

This oath was objectionable to many Irish Republicans. Furthermore, the partition of Ireland, decided by the Westminster parliament in the Government of Ireland Act 1920, was confirmed in the Anglo-Irish treaty; the most contentious areas of the Treaty for the IRA were the disestablishment of the Irish Republic declared in 1919, the abandonment of the First Dáil, the status of the Irish Free State as a dominion in the British Commonwealth and the British retention of the strategic Treaty Ports on Ireland's south western and north western coasts which were to remain occupied by the Royal Navy. All these issues were the cause of a split in the IRA and civil war. Michael Collins, the republican leader who had led the Irish negotiating team, argued that the treaty gave "not the ultimate freedom that all nations aspire and develop, but the freedom to achieve freedom". However, anti-treaty militants in 1922 believed that the treaty would never deliver full Irish independence; the split over the treaty was personal.

Many of the leaders on both sides had been close friends and comrades during the War of Independence. This made their disagreement over the treaty all the more bitter. Michael Collins said that Éamon de Valera had sent him as plenipotentiary to negotiate the treaty because he knew that the British would not concede an independent Irish republic and wanted Collins to take the blame for the compromise settlement, he said that he felt betrayed when de Valera refused to stand by the agreement that the plenipotentiaries had negotiated with David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill. De Valera, for his part, was furious that Collins and Arthur Griffith had signed the treaty without consulting him or the Irish cabinet as instructed. Dáil Éireann narrowly passed the Anglo-Irish Treaty by 64 votes to 57 on 7 January 1922. Following the Treaty's ratification, in accordance with article 17 of the Treaty, the British-recognised Provisional Government of the Irish Free State was established, its authority under the Treaty was to provide a "provisional arrangement for the administration of Southern Ireland during the interval" before the establishment of the Irish Free State.

In accordance with the Treaty, the British Government transferred "the powers and machinery requisite for the discharge of its duties". Before the British Government transferred such powers, the members of the Provisional Government each "signified in writing acceptance of ". Upon the Treaty's ratification, de Valera resigned as President of the Republic and failed to be re-elected by an closer vote of 60–58, he challenged the right of the Dáil to approve the treaty, saying that its members were breaking their oath to the Irish Republic. Meanwhile he continued to promote a compromise whereby the new Irish Free State would be in "external association" with the British Commonwealth rather than be a member of it. In early March, de Valera formed the Cumann na Poblachta party while remaining a member of Si

Both episodes served together as the fourth-season finale. In this episode, Isaac becomes a wild card in Gold's scheme to change everyone's destiny as Emma, Mary Margaret and David attempt to stop them; when Gold and Isaac forge ahead with their plans, they alter the destiny of everyone involved. Now, it's up to Henry to reverse the outcome and restore the destiny of his family, after he is drawn into the chaos, before it is too late; the tower where Emma Swan is held is featured in the Forest in Part 1. In our world, 1966, Isaac Heller is working at a television shop as a struggling writer trying to sell color tvs, until he gets a letter from Star Publishing saying that he is wanted for hire, he arrives to find a empty room, with the Apprentice at the desk, who lays out a selection of different writing materials and demands that Isaac choose one as a test.

Isaac picks the magic quill. The Apprentice creates a magic door to another realm, both he and the Author go through it. Emma, Henry, Mary Margaret, David and Robin are in the library of the mansion, searching for a way to stop Gold and Isaac from enacting a new reality with the newly activated ink, they are joined by August, who shows them a drawing of the Sorcerer's Apprentice, who might be able to help them. Hook remembers the Apprentice from. With the help of the Blue Fairy, they release the Apprentice, who says that there’s no time to waste, he tells them that they must find the storybook page depicting the door, as well as the door's key, for only will they be able to lock Isaac back into the book where he belongs. The group splits up, with Henry, Hook and Mary Margaret heading back to the loft for the book and key, while Emma and the Apprentice head to Gold's pawnshop. At the shop, Gold is clinging to life as Isaac finishes up writing the new book, titled Heroes & Villains, he plans on a new universe in the Enchanted Forest for the inhabitants of Storybrooke, while he writes a new ending for himself in the Land Without Magic.

Henry demands answers and Isaac reveals that his family is alive, but now exists in a different universe inside of his Heroes & Villains story, presenting Henry with the original storybook. Henry wasn't trapped along with the others because he wasn't born in a magical realm and he is told that Emma wasn't either, as Isaac did not write a "savior" into the story. Isaac explains that he is unable to alter events anymore, since he is no longer the Author after violating the Author's Code, which he did by writing himself a happy ending.

After Isaac refuses to undo the events, Henry takes the key and uses it on a page of the book, transporting himself and Isaac into the altered Enchanted Forest.
