He enlists the help of Sean, Jennifer's fiancé, to try and shut down the party and get Charlie in trouble with the law.

As the party continues, tensions rise and conflicts break out between various guests, including an argument between Nolan and a rival athlete that leads to a physical altercation.

The episode ends with Charlie and Lacey sorting out their issues and Nolan making progress in managing his anger.

Overall, Charlie and Lacey Piss Off the Neighborhood is a wild and chaotic episode that explores the themes of rebellion, frustration, and consequences.
