Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Chicago Typewriter S1E5 (A Ghost Writer).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
If details are missing, omit them rather than guessing.
Synopsis:
Se-joo and Seol are highlighted by media/public as having a relationship (mistakenly).
Seol receives daily phone calls from Se-joo's fans threatening her welfare.
Se-joo has writer's block and cannot write good quality episodes for his serial material.
Se-joo decides to hold a conference to announce his ghost writer.
Sources:
Series Title: Chicago Typewriter.
Cast: Yoo Ah-in, Lim Soo-jung, Go Kyung-pyo, Kwak Si-yang, Eugene.
Genre: Sci-Fi & Fantasy and Drama.
Premise: Writers from 1930s Japanese rule reincarnated into a bestselling writer in a slump, a mysterious ghostwriter, and a devoted fan/anti-fan.

The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 60-70 words of actual plot information for this specific episode.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." AND "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap."
Conflict: I cannot meet the 280-380 word count without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden by the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent or guess" instructions.
Strategy: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent or guess" instructions over the word count instruction if the source material is insufficient. However, I can expand on the context provided by the sources (the series premise and cast) to add substance, though the prompt asks for an episode recap.
Refined Strategy: I will write everything I can from the synopsis and the general series context provided in the sources. If I cannot reach 280 words without violating the "no guessing" rule, I must remain concise as per the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
