Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Adam's Law S1E58 (Decked Out My Money).

Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
No guessing or inventing plot points.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count: 280-380 words.
Series Title: Adam's Law (2026).
Genre: Reality.
Producers: Judge Judy Sheindlin and her award-winning team of producers.
Premise: Judge Sheindlin passes the gavel to her son, Adam Levy.
Episode Title: "Decked Out My Money" (S1E58).
Episode Synopsis: A deck builder was fired after hiring his son to help; the homeowner says the work was shoddy.
The synopsis is extremely brief: "A deck builder was fired after hiring his son to help; the homeowner says the work was shoddy."
The sources provide context about the show: It's a reality series from 2026 produced by Judge Judy Sheindlin, where Adam Levy takes over the gavel.
The challenge: The user wants a 280-380 word recap, but the provided synopsis is only about 20 words.

Resolution: As an archivist, I cannot invent details to meet a word count. However, I can expand on the series context provided in the sources to provide a professional, encyclopedic entry about the episode within the framework of the show's description. But even then, reaching 280 words with only these facts is nearly impossible without being repetitive or "fluffy," which violates "neutral, encyclopedic prose."

Wait, let me re-read the instructions. "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This is a direct instruction for when the content is limited. The word count (280-380) is a target, but the "verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules are paramount. If I write 300 words of "The deck builder was a man who built decks and he had a son who helped him," I am being redundant and non-encyclopedic.

However, I must try to fulfill the prompt as best as possible. Let
