At the Payne family, strength decides status and tensions erupt when Lucille returns and lifts the Heaven Snow Sword with one hand, winning Grandma's favor. Carol shows a neck scratch; relatives call Lucille a jinx and one vows to find a chance to get rid of her. Grandma entrusts Lucille to run Madam Payne's birthday banquet and introduce her to town; Lucille's sister and future brother-in-law Clifford Lawson will attend. Clifford dismisses Natalie as 'eye candy' and says, 'I'm not going to marry her.' He will call off the engagement at the banquet, leaving the family bracing for confrontation.
