Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for NCIS S15E3 (Exit Strategy).

Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, or plot points.
Omit details not in the material.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Torres' partner mysteriously vanishes during a stakeout with Metro P.D. The investigation uncovers new evidence from a decade-old murder case.

[2] IMDb: Created by Donald P. Bellisario, Don McGill. Cast includes Sean Murray, David McCallum, Mark Harmon, Brian Dietzen. Follows Major Case Response Team investigating criminal cases connected to US Navy and Marines Corps personnel and families.
[3] TMDB Season 1 Cast: Mark Harmon (Leroy Jethro Gibbs), Michael Weatherly (Tony DiNozzo), Sasha Alexander (Caitlin Todd).
[4] Deadline: Originated as two back-door pilot episodes of JAG in April 2003. Pauley Perrette plays Abby.

The synopsis is extremely brief: "Torres' partner mysteriously vanishes during a stakeout with Metro P.D. The investigation uncovers new evidence from a decade-old murder case."
The sources provide context about the series (created by Bellisario/McGill, follows Major Case Response Team, investigates Navy/Marines cases) and some cast info, but very little about the specific episode "Exit Strategy" other than the synopsis.
Problem: The synopsis is only two sentences long. To reach the 280-380 word requirement using only provided facts without inventing anything is mathematically impossible if I strictly follow "never invent or guess... plot points" and "if the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap."
Conflict: The prompt asks for a specific word count (280-380) but also forbids adding any information not in the text. The provided text for the episode is about 30 words.
Strategy: I must include the series context
