The next morning, Braedey was now wearing his new gun and gunbelt, as he walked down the streets, Tyler, James, and Andrea walking alongside one another. They were enjoying the calm air around them, all the while with trying to find Orion.

"Where could he be?" Andrea asked.

"Maybe he's still at Clara's." James trailed off.

Then men started to come up to them and told Braedey good morning, good luck, they even offered him cigars, even praying for him for the duel tomorrow. "Good morning, Mr. Eastwood. Interest you in a new suit for tomorrow?" A man in a top hat now offered, holding up a black suit.

Braedey looked at the man. "Uh, I'm fine. Thanks."

As they walked on through town, they soon saw Orion walking along, but he has a lavender brooch on with the name 'Clara' pinned up on his shirt. This wasn't like him at times.

"Orion? What are you doing?" Braedey asked to him, as he and the others all walked up to him.

"What? Oh, nothing." Orion replied, sounding relaxed as he now walks along with the others. "I'm just enjoying the morning air. It's nice, isn't it?" He asked them.

"Listen, Orion. We need to get the DeLorean ready to go by tonight-" Braedey then noticed a tombstone that said 'Here Lies'. "Hey, guys. Look at this. The tombstone." He said as they look on at the tombstone.

James took a closer look at it, realising that it's the very same tombstone that's in the picture back from 1985. "Tyler, let me see that photo again." Tyler gave the man the photo, and James saw his name wasn't on the tombstone anymore. "My name. It's vanished." He revealed.

"That's great, Dad

"That's great, Dad." Braedey said in happiness. "You see? We go back to the future, and everything's been erased."

"But, only my name is erased." James interjected back to Braedey, gesturing to the photo and the tombstone. "The tombstone itself and the date still remain. That doesn't make any sense."

Orion now picked up the photo. "We now know what this photograph represents, if the events of today continue to run their course into tomorrow." He said ominously to them.

"So, what does that mean?" Andrea asked.

Just then, the man that offered Braedey a suit earlier walked up, and began to take the brunette's measurements. "Excuse me, Mr. Eastwood. I just need to take your measurements."

"Sir, what's this for?" Andrea asked.

"Hey, look, pal. He doesn't want to buy a suit." Braedey said in annoyance.

"No. This is for your coffin." The man replied.

"My coffin?!" Braedey asked in shock the others also in shock.

"What?" Andrea, Tyler, and Orion asked in unison.

"Well, the odds are running 2-1 against him. Might as well be prepared." The man then walked off back to the 'Undertaker' shop.
