After a stressful business trip, Stella returns home eager to unwind. As part of her routine, she checks her security camera footage—mainly to see if her nosy neighbors, the Jacobs, caused any trouble. But what she finds leaves her fuming: the Jacobs had thrown a 4th of July pool party in her backyard while she was away. Stella, who’s dealt with constant complaints from them—especially during her pool’s construction—can’t believe their audacity. Furious, she marches over to confront Mrs. Jacobs, who dismisses it with a smug, “You barely use the pool anyway.” That’s the last straw. Stella prints security stills and plasters the neighborhood with posters warning of trespassers. Gossip spreads quickly, and soon the Jacobs are publicly humiliated. They confront Stella, demanding she remove the posters, but she stands her ground, even threatening to involve the police. When officers arrive and confirm Stella’s right to press charges, she settles for a formal warning—this time. Later, Stella sits peacefully by her pool, finally feeling in control. Her kind neighbor, Mrs. Thompson, stops by with scones and words of support, affirming that standing up for herself was the right move.
