Source-grounded

Episode recap

Task: Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap for NCIS S17E19 (Blarney).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented/guessed titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "When Kasie and Jimmy are held hostage in a diner after a jewelry store robbery goes awry, they attempt to keep the other customers safe from the thieves."
SOURCES:
[1] NCIS (2003) TV-14, Crime, Drama, Action & Adventure.
[2] IMDb link (no specific content provided in text).
[3] TMDB link (no specific content provided in text).
[4] Deadline article (mentions JAG origin, Pauley Perrette/Abby audition).
[5] Variety article (mentions Sean Murray, Brian Dietzen, Rocky Carroll).
Episode Title: Blarney (from prompt).
Episode Number: S17E19 (from prompt).
Characters involved in the plot: Kasie, Jimmy.
Plot: Kasie and Jimmy are held hostage in a diner. This occurs after a jewelry store robbery goes awry. They try to keep other customers safe from the thieves.
The synopsis is extremely short: "When Kasie and Jimmy are held hostage in a diner after a jewelry store robbery goes awry, they attempt to keep the other customers safe from the thieves."
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided material only contains one sentence of plot. If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess," I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates the "encyclopedic prose" and "never invent" rules.
Wait, let me re-read the instructions. "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
This instruction ("stay concise") contradicts the "280-380 word" instruction if the source material is only one sentence.
In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, the "stay concise" instruction for sparse material usually overrides the length requirement to prevent hallucination. However, if I write only one sentence, I fail the length requirement.
