On November 12, 1955, moments after witnessing Emmett "Doc" Brown disappear in his DeLorean, Marty McFly learns that Doc was sent 70 years into the past to 1885.

Chased by a bear, he is knocked unconscious and found by his Irish-born great-great-grandparents Seamus and Maggie McFly, who allow him to stay the night.

While inspecting a rail spur, Doc saves Clara from falling into the ravine, averting her death from the original timeline.
