Shawn returns to Cloudshire intending to marry Lily and declares he is the most powerful man in the world. Despite his proposal, Lily's mother demands a $2 million bridal dowry, which Shawn claims he has sent over five years through monthly military salary remittances. Lily's mother rejects this, saying no money was received and challenges Shawn to prove it. Shawn admits he currently has financial difficulties and cannot show the money but suggests getting engaged first and providing the dowry later. Lily's mother angrily refuses, leaving Shawn's marriage plans stalled and the dowry issue unresolved.
