"Okay," he said, voice steady now. "If that's really how you feel—then I need you to promise me something."
Nolan didn't hesitate. "Of course, son. Anything."
Mark's expression hardened, his eyes going cold in a way that made Nolan's breath catch.
"Promise me," he said slowly, "right now... that you'll denounce Viltrum. That you'll reject them—for Earth. For us."
There was a beat of silence. A single second that stretched on like eternity.
Nolan's eyes widened.
"...What?"

Summary
It was done, he told himself. Whatever change had occurred in the timeline, it was already in the past, irreversible as any other event. And after all, he’d known Marty for only a week. It was irrational to think of him as a friend. It was wildly irrational, to mourn something that had never existed.
After hearing about the birth of the McFly family's second daughter, Doc Brown can only conclude that the worst has happened and that Marty has somehow been erased from time. He resigns himself to being alone, but when he crosses paths with the new McFly kid he can't help but make a friend.

“Is that really what kids listen to in 1985?”
With a shrug, Marty took back his headphones. “Sure.”
“What did you say it was called?”
“Black Sabbath,” Marty repeated.
The implications of the name caught up with him. “Good grief,” he said, which made Marty laugh harder. “You actually like this?”
Still smiling, Marty nudged his arm. “You like it in the future.”

It's not actually that difficult to explain why Jennifer is currently standing in a gym, 13 years before she's even born, staring at her boyfriend, who was murdered yesterday but also 30 years in the future, over a book, that won't be published for 45 years.
Obviously it's Doctor Brown's fault.

“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

“...Great Scott. You’re right.”
