Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Hollyoaks S24E125.
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: If details are missing, omit them.
Constraint 4: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 5: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "Joel decides to focus on Cleo's health and buys them both fitness watches, while Holly is worried she's made a big mistake."
Sources: General info about Hollyoaks (soap opera, set in Chester, started 1995, Channel 4).
Joel decides to focus on Cleo's health.
Joel buys fitness watches for both himself and Cleo.
Holly is worried that she has made a big mistake.
The synopsis is extremely brief (two sentences).
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
The instruction says: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict Check: The user wants a 280-380 word recap, but the provided facts only cover about 30 words of content. If I follow the "stay concise rather than guessing" rule, I cannot reach 280 words without inventing facts, which is strictly forbidden by the "never invent or guess" rule.
Decision: I must prioritize the "never invent or guess" and "only verifiable facts" rules over the word count requirement. However, usually, in these prompts, if I can't meet the word count because the source is too small, I should provide what I can. But wait, if I write only 30 words, I fail the word count instruction. If I write 300 words, I fail the "only verifiable facts" instruction.
Refined Strategy: I will write the recap based on the provided facts. Since the facts are minimal, a 280-380 word recap is impossible without violating the core instruction of not inventing details. I will provide the most professional, encyclopedic summary possible using only the provided text.

Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This is a contradictory instruction. If I stay concise, I won't hit 280 words. If I hit 280 words, I'm not being concise and I'm likely guessing.
