- Emmett Brown arrives from Timeline 7, and takes a taxi to the church. He is about to object to the wedding, when he hears a baby crying. When the babysitter calls him Biff, Doc realizes he made a mistake. Biff had been born earlier that year and his parents were marrying solely for the purpose of making it seem like Biff wasn't born out of wedlock.[1]
- The babysitter offers baby Biff to Doc, believing that he would probably give Biff a better home than his parents would. However, Biff's grandmother, Gertrude Tannen, snatches Biff out of Doc's hands and states that she would raise him up right, which the babysitter is skeptical of.[1]
- Doc plans to come up with a "Plan C" once he arrives in 1983, and disappears into the future as he is looking at his pocketwatch.[1]
