Questions posed by a previous poster:
#1: Who is this woman?
She is the wife of the man and mother of the child killed by Will Gashade's brother, Coin. Mentioned at opening of film.
#2: How are she and Billy related? He is a gunfighter she hired to help her avenge her husband and child. Whether he is anything more is unclear.
#3: Why does she want to kill Gashade's brother? Because he ran over and killed her husband and child when on a drunken rampage in town.
#4: Why does Gashade help her track his brother down? In hopes of stopping the killing before it happens. If he doesn't go with them under that pretense, they will be out to kill him before he gets to Coin.
That much is clear.
Now,as for another poster's question: why the woman wouldn't shoot Will Gashade on sight when he looks exactly like Coin, I couldn't say. Except that it's just more pretentious to have two Warren Oates at the end of the picture. And pretension is pretty much all this picture is about.
