SYNOPSIS: "A Marine's murder has connections to a dirt bike gang that Torres joined while on an old undercover operation."
SOURCES:

The synopsis is extremely brief: "A Marine's murder has connections to a dirt bike gang that Torres joined while on an old undercover operation."
The sources provide general series info but almost no specific details about episode S14E21 other than the synopsis.
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: The provided information is insufficient to reach 280-380 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This instruction contradicts the word count requirement if the word count is high and the info is low. However, usually, in these prompts, the "stay concise" instruction takes precedence over the word count if the source material is lacking, or I must find a way to expand using only the provided facts.
Wait: I cannot invent plot points. I cannot invent dialogue. I cannot invent scene order.
