Episode: NCIS Season 17, Episode 5, titled "Wide Awake".
Plot: NCIS investigates Marine Corporal Laney Alimonte. Evidence suggests she murdered her neighbor. At the time of the incident, she was being treated for insomnia by a hypnotherapist.
Series Context: NCIS is a crime, drama, and action and adventure series that premiered in 2003. It was created by Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill.
The synopsis is extremely brief: "NCIS investigates Marine Corporal Laney Alimonte after evidence suggests she murdered her neighbor while being treated for insomnia by a hypnotherapist."
The sources provide series-level information but almost no episode-specific information beyond the synopsis.
The prompt requires 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or inventing details. The instructions explicitly say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "You never invent or guess... plot points."
Conflict: The word count requirement (280-380) contradicts the "stay concise" and "only use provided facts" instructions when the provided facts are minimal.
Resolution: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions. However, I will try to expand on the series context provided in the sources to approach the word
