      • Marty McFly arrives from Timeline 2 and crashes into the barn at Otis Peabody's ranch. Peabody's son, Sherman, thinks Marty is an alien and Otis chases him out. Marty knocks down one of Old Man Peabody's two pine trees. Peabody later reports that he saw an "alien", but is declared insane and is sent to the County Asylum.[1]
      • At Lou's Cafe, Marty witnesses George being bullied by Biff Tannen and his gang. After George leaves, Marty follows him.[1]
      • When George falls out of a tree and into the path of Sam Baines' car, Marty pushes George out of the way, accidentally getting hit by the car himself. Calling himself Calvin Klein after the name printed on his underwear, Lorraine Baines wants "Calvin" to stay the night until he feels better.[1]
      • Marty hastily leaves the Baines residence and seeks out Doc Brown. He explains how Doc got the bruise from the accident that he had earlier in the day, and shows him the DeLorean time machine. Doc agrees to help him get back to 1985.[1]
    • Sunday, November 6
      • Doc realizes that Marty has interfered with his parents' first meeting and that he and his siblings will be erased from existence unless Marty can get them together. He tells Marty that it is imperative that they get back together, and helps Marty in doing that as he works on his plan to use the lightning strike that Marty told him about to send Marty back to 1985.[1]
    • Monday, November 7
      • Marty, as "Calvin Klein", goes to Hill Valley High School to try and get George and Lorraine together, but she has developed a crush on Marty instead of George.[1]

      • Marty plays Johnny B. Goode when he stands in as guitar player for Marvin Berry and the Starlighters, since Marvin Berry cut his hand when rescuing Marty from the trunk.
      • Marvin calls up his cousin Chuck and holds up the telephone so he can hear Marty playing the song that he had yet to publish.[1]

      • At the clock tower, Marty tries to give Doc a note warning him about his death in 1985, however Doc tears it up and tells him to get to the starting point.[1]
      • 10:04 p.m. lightning strikes the clock tower at the precise moment the DeLorean hit 88 m.p.h., successfully sending 1.21 gigawatts of electricity into the lightning rod Doc attached to the DeLorean's nuclear reactor, sending Marty back to 1985.[1]
  • 1958
    • Date unknown (before November 22)
      • George McFly manages to get several short stories published in the Science Fiction Club Magazine.[2]
    • Saturday, November 22
      • While working on his prototype temporal field capacitor, Emmett Brown is visited by George McFly, who demands to see "Calvin Marty Klein". George explains that he wants to ask Marty for relationship advice, as he and Lorraine had been growing apart lately. Doc tells George to wait for him and goes to his garage in order to get his Brain-wave analyzer, planning to put it on Lorraine's head in order to read her mind.[2]
      • Hearing a knock on the garage door, Doc opens it and is greeted by Lorraine, who is similarly looking for Marty because she believes him to be the only person who can get George to stop ignoring her. After Lorraine explained that George had become full of himself, Doc tells her to wait for him and goes back to his mansion. Doc presents George with a tiny radio receiver, explaining that George was going to talk to Lorraine while Doc would tell him what to say through the radio.[2]
      • Lorraine, having followed Doc to his mansion, overhears him talking to George and mistakenly believes that he was talking to Marty. Doc escorts Lorraine back to the garage. However, George makes his way to the garage and bursts through the door after mistakenly overhearing Lorraine seemingly throwing herself at someone.[2]
      • Mistakenly believing that Doc was making advances towards Lorraine, George attacks Doc and falls into the Static-O-Matic electric hair chair after tripping over Copernicus, which results in his hair becoming similar to that of Doc. Laughing over the incident, George and Lorraine rekindle their romance and decide to go see the new movie From the Earth to the Moon together.[2]

Trivia

  • If Marty had not succeeded in getting George and Lorraine to fall in love, Lorraine would have went on a date with Biff on Saturday, November 23, 1963, and they would have married at some point afterward. Biff would become George's boss, and Dave, Linda, and Marty McFly wouldn't have been born. Instead, Biff and Lorraine would have a daughter named Buffy Tannen, who would have worked at CusCo at some point in the 21st century.[9]
  • In The Doc Who Never Was, a slightly different version of Timeline 1 is shown, in which Doc's fears about ushering an arms race through time are intensified, as he now knows that his experiments will be a success. He has a nightmare about Marty returning in the DeLorean, speaking Russian. In his dream, they travel to 1982, however there are elements from several time periods present and nuclear bombs are dropping from the sky. Just before he wakes up from his nightmare, his vision of Marty disappears, leaving only the down vest that he was wearing when they first met.[10]
