S18·E13 Misconduct

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for NCIS S18E13 (Misconduct).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
No guessing or inventing plot points.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "The team investigates a cyclist killed in a hit and run. Gibbs prepares to testify against a financial advisor who stole millions from his Navy clients."
SOURCES:
[1] General info about NCIS (Crime, Drama, Action & Adventure).
[2] History of the show (originated from JAG pilots, April 2003).
[3] Cast info (Sean Murray, Brian Dietzen, Rocky Carroll).
[4] IMDb link (no specific content provided).
[5] Season 1 cast (Mark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Michael Weatherly as Tony DiNozzo, Sasha Alexander as Caitlin Todd).
The synopsis is extremely brief:
1. Investigation of a cyclist killed in a hit and run.
2. Gibbs preparing to testify against a financial advisor who stole millions from Navy clients.
The sources provide context about the show (genre, origin, some cast names), but no additional plot details for S18E13.
Problem: The synopsis is only two sentences long. The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: I cannot meet the 280-380 word count without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden by the prompt instructions ("Never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess.").
If I write only what is in the synopsis, the text will be about 30 words.
If I try to reach 280 words, I will violate the core instruction to "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
The prompt says: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This instruction overrides the word count instruction in terms of factual integrity. However, usually, in these LLM prompts, the user wants a specific length. But as an "archivist," I must prioritize accuracy.
Wait, let me look at the sources
