* BroadStrokes: The final story in which [[spoiler:Archie dies]] serves as a conclusion to both timelines. As such, the whole thing is written and framed to keep things as ambiguous as possible so that the story could plausibly have occurred in either timeline, such as neither Archie nor Reggie ever explicitly identifying their respective wives by name, Archie's wife only being depicted from the neck down in his "what-if" spots in which they have children, and even [[spoiler:the final shot from a dying Archie's perspective where he sees both Betty and Veronica mourning over him, to whom he utters "I've always loved you" in his dying breath"]]. A single panel during the subsequent time-skip even [[spoiler:has one of the girls speaking candidly about how they have been coping after their husband's death, which is purposefully framed so that the reader cannot see ''which'' of the two potential spouses are talking]].
