I believe that when the shop degreased the engine bay they left the pool of water in the valve cover where the ground strap is. This caused a temporary short and misfiring of cylinder 5.

It’s cool that it gives you the current value of your car! Diagnostic tools are so advanced these days!

The state of Kentucky values my car at less than 5k, which means my annual registration is the minimum

Water on a ground won’t cause a short. Unless the water is also contacting a different circuit. That line of thinking is fundamentally wrong. Especially on a plastic valve cover.
However, if they pressure washed the engine, it's possible that water made it into a connector somewhere and did cause a short. Such as at a coil. This seems extremely likely if your misfire is only on one cylinder.

That makes sense. Coil 5 seems to be behaving now, the pocket in the valve cover was absolutely full of water.
