The episode opens up with [[Marty]] waking up in the [[Citizen Plus]] facility in [[1986B]], awaiting brainwashing by [[Edna Strickland]], who was discovered to be the true perpetrator of these events at the end of the previous episode. By tricking a guard, and with assistance from [[George McFly|Marty's father]] whom is communicating with Marty through the security cameras, Marty is able to retrieve his personal belongings from a cage in the waiting room. Marty discovers that [[Jennifer]] is in the next room over, having already been partially brainwashed by the Citizen Plus program.
   
Despite this, this doesn't deter Marty from utilizing his guitar, which restores Jennifer to her previous mental state. Once Jennifer has been freed from the effects of the Citizen Plus program, she knocks a guard out and gets Marty to dress up in the guard's clothing. Even with Jennifer's assitance, her father comes to pick her up, forcing Marty to save [[Citizen Brown]] alone. The disguse manages to work in Marty's favory, as he is able to steal a pacification pill from the reimprisoned [[Biff]] and slip it into the Citizen Plus Overseer's coffee, knocking him out.

After messing around with the controls, Marty frees Citizen Brown and he's able to escape to his secret lab in [[Clayton Ravine]] where he had the [[DeLorean]] towed to. In the meantime [[Edna Strickland]] confronts Marty and he's able to stall her a few minutes by telling her of the proper timeline. First Citizen Brown arrives from six months from the future having successfully repaired the DeLorean. Brown coldly regets Edna's attempts at affection and Marty and Brown, now asking to be called Doc, escape back to 1931 in the DeLorean while Edna swears revenge.

Marty and Doc have a falling out when Doc asks Marty what becomes of Edna. Upon hearing that she becomes a lonely old woman living in the past, he feels a bit of compassion for her despite what she did to him.

Upset, Doc sadly parts with Marty and drives off in the DeLorean.
   
In order to help repair the timeline, Marty is able to convince [[Trixie Trotter]] to help make it look like Emmet and her have been having a affair behind Edna's back. This, along with making his mind map like Kid's and using the rapidly aged clothing enzyme to destory the suit Edna gave him, causes Edna to break up with Emmett, ending their relationship and making Emmet completely give up on science. Through reverse psychology, Marty is able to get Emmett angry enough to reignite his love for science. Unfortunately for him, a light storm dislodges a statue of [[Einstein]] that was being installed on the court house that precariously puts young Emmet's life on the line.

Synopsis

The episode opens up with Marty waking up in the Citizen Plus facility in 1986B, awaiting brainwashing by Edna Strickland, who was discovered to be the true perpetrator of these events at the end of the previous episode. By tricking a guard, and with assistance from Marty's father whom is communicating with Marty through the security cameras, Marty is able to retrieve his personal belongings from a cage in the waiting room. Marty discovers that Jennifer is in the next room over, having already been partially brainwashed by the Citizen Plus program.

Despite this, this doesn't deter Marty from utilizing his guitar, which restores Jennifer to her previous mental state. Once Jennifer has been freed from the effects of the Citizen Plus program, she knocks a guard out and gets Marty to dress up in the guard's clothing. Even with Jennifer's assistance, her father comes to pick her up, forcing Marty to save Citizen Brown alone. The disguise manages to work in Marty's favor, as he is able to steal a pacification pill from the re-imprisoned Biff and slip it into the Citizen Plus Overseer's caffeinated soda, knocking him out.

After messing around with the controls, Marty frees Citizen Brown and he's able to escape to his secret lab in Clayton Ravine where he had the DeLorean towed to. In the meantime, Edna Strickland confronts Marty who is able to stall her a few minutes by telling her of the proper timeline. Citizen Brown arrives from six months from the future having successfully repaired the DeLorean. Brown coldly regrets Edna's attempts at affection and Marty and Brown, now asking to be called Doc, escape back to 1931 in the DeLorean while Edna swears revenge.

Marty discovers that he and Doc have arrived far too late in the past, a day before the Hill Valley Science Expo instead of two months earlier. Emmett is still head over heels for Edna in the worst way possible, but the young Brown is soon planning to propose to her. Citizen Brown discovers that the DeLorean's time circuits are malfunctioning. Using Emmett's experiment entry for the expo, a good Citizen meter designed to work by charting electrical responses to images and other physical responses (with Kid Tannen and Emmett as control examples), Marty has to find out some way to make Emmett look like a deplorable scumbag on the level of Kid himself.

Marty and Doc have a falling out when Doc asks Marty what becomes of Edna. Upon hearing that she becomes a lonely old woman living in the past, he feels a bit of compassion for her despite what she did to him. Doc wants to explore the possibility of a third option where "everybody wins", while Marty rightly insists that in order to restore the timeline properly, Edna must be forced into a life of solitude.

Notes

  • When Citizen Brown returns with the repaired time machine, he says he worked on it in his lab near Clayton Ravine; in the timeline depicted, Marty and Doc never saved Clara, hence the ravine retains her name.
  • If Marty examines the dinosaur in the Hill Valley of the Past diorama, he remarks "If that thing's called a 'Tannenosaurus', I'll...ugh." This can be seen as a double reference to the animated series, both the episode "Forward to the Past", where an actual Tannensaurus is the version of Biff Tannen that appears in an altered timeline where dinosaurs ruled the Earth. It could also be seen as a reference to a line Marty spoke in another episode, asking "Is there a Tannen in every time period?"
  • A crate marked "Peabody Farms" is found in the back of the truck young Emmett is using to transport his entry into the Science Fair.
