In the end, the Doctor stages a distraction and allows Jex to escape into the desert. Jex knows that the Gunslinger will follow him no matter where he goes, and since he doesn't want the lives of more innocent townspeople on ''any'' planet on his conscience, he commits HeroicSuicide. The Gunslinger, realising that he's still an immortal monster and that he can never go back home to his normal life again, heads off to do much the same. However, the Doctor convinces him to stay in the desert as the town's marshal and protector.

The local minister isn't a Bible-thumper, just a sweet man. The marshal wants to help his friends, the town's young hotshot just wants to protect the town's kids. Even the angry mob turns out to be a group of frightened people who are willing to listen to reason.
