Episode Title: Date with Destiny (from prompt).
Episode Number: S15E24 (from prompt).
Character: Sloane.
Plot: Sloane believes a man who held her hostage and tortured her in Afghanistan years ago is alive and currently in Washington, D.C. This man was previously believed to have been killed after her rescue.
The synopsis is extremely brief (one sentence).
The sources provide general series information (creators, cast, genre, franchise status).
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: There is almost no information to reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the instructions say "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Resolution: I cannot fulfill the word count requirement of 280-380 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden by the primary instruction. I must prioritize the instruction
