Marty discovers that Jennifer is in the next room over having already been partially brainwashed by the Citizen plus program.
By playing his guitar Marty is able to break Jennifer out of her brainwashing whom knocks out a guard and steals his clothing, then getting Marty to put it on. Unfortunately Jennifers Father has come to pick her up thus forcing Marty to save first Citizen Brown alone. Marty is able to steal a pacifycation pill from the reimprisoned Biff and slip it to the technician over seeing Citizen Brown's brainwashing,
By messing 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 Mean time Edna Strickland confronts Marty and he's able to stall her a few minuets 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 as Marty and Brown, now asking to be called Doc, escapes back to 1931 in the DeLorean while Edna swears revenge.
Marty discovers that he and Doc have arrived far too late in the past, the day of the science expo instead of several months earlier, Emmet is head over heels for Edna in the worst way yet the young Emmet is planning to propose to her. Citizen Brown discovers that the DeLoreans time circuits are malfunctioning. Using Emmet's entry into the expo, a good Citizen meter designed to work by charting electrical responces to images (with Kid Tannen and Emmet as control examples) Marty is able to Make Emmet look like a monster as worst as Kid.
Marty and Doc have a falling out when Doc asks Marty what becomes of Edna. Upon hearing that she becomes old and lonely, he feels a bit of compassion for her despite what she did to him. Doc wants to explore the possibility of a third option while Marty rightly insists that in order to restore the timeline properly, the evil woman has to be destined to be alone. Doc parts with Marty angrily and drives off in the DeLoran, permanently ending their friendship.
In order to help repair the timeline, Marty is able to convince Trixie Trotter to help it make it look like Emmet and her have been having a affair behind Edna's back. These cause Edna to break up with Emmet and thus makes Emmet completely give up on science, Marty is able to get Emmet angry enough to re-ignite his love of science unfortunately a light storm dislodges a statue of Einstein that was being installed on the court house that percarlessly puts young Emmet's life precariously in the balance.
Marty is able to narrowly rescue Emmet in the process making him realize what he did wrong with his flying car and he and Marty goes off to repair and complete it in time for the expo. On the highway leading out of Hill Valley Doc, now having turned traitor to Marty, picks up the young Edna and instructs her to tell him everything she knows about Marty, intent on thwarting his former friend's plan and protecting the woman destined to hold a terrified Hill Valley in her unforgiving grip.

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 'Tannensaurus', 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 alterted 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 Emmet is using to transport his entry into the Science Fair.
