Episode recap
Task: Write an episode recap for Judy Justice S4E117 ("Massage Table Meltdown and Breaking Up Badly").
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, counts, awards, etc.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.

SYNOPSIS:
Episode title: "Massage Table Meltdown and Breaking Up Badly" (from prompt).
Case 1: A girlfriend used hidden cameras to reveal her boyfriend's infidelity. This led to a confrontation. He is suing for vandalism, claiming she trashed his car in retaliation.
Case 2: A tense breakup between former roommates. There are competing claims of harassment and a disputed restraining order regarding an alleged assault.

Strategy: I must provide as much detail as possible from the provided text while adhering to the "no guessing" rule. I will describe the series context and then the two cases. However, if I cannot reach the word count without violating the "no guessing" rule, I must prioritize the "no guessing" rule as it is a core instruction for an archivist.
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. Usually, in these LLM prompts, the word count is a target, but the "do not invent" rule is the primary constraint for accuracy. If I write 300 words about two short sentences, I will be
