I don't think they have to reissue (or revalidate) the ticket in order to drop a return flight, so I don't think they'll charge the reissue fee, but I'm admittedly unsure. .
I have canceled a return (as a courtesy to others) and was not charge a change fee (and fare difference) until I came back to reschedule.

The OP just needs to cancel to avoid the duplicate ticket issue (if same day - my original assumption). They do not need the ticket to be re-issued.

If the new return is on a different day, then they can skip the cancelation step and let it auto-cancel
