S18·E8 True Believer

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for NCIS S18E8 (True Believer).
Constraints: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invention, no guessing, no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. Plain text only. Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Target Length: 280-380 words.
TMDB Episode Synopsis: "When Sloane’s name is discovered in Afghanistan at the site of an abandoned bus with a dead driver, Gibbs accompanies her on a trip to find a group of girls who were kidnapped from the bus."
Sources [1-5]: General info about NCIS (start date, genre, cast members like Mark Harmon/Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Michael Weatherly/Tony DiNozzo, etc.). No specific plot details for S18E8 in the sources.
Sloane's name is found in Afghanistan.
Location: Site of an abandoned bus with a dead driver.
Gibbs accompanies Sloane on a trip.
Objective: To find a group of girls who were kidnapped from the bus.
The synopsis is extremely brief (one sentence).
The instructions say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
The instructions also say: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap."
Conflict Check: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280-380 words without inventing details. However, the prompt explicitly forbids inventing details ("You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess").
Resolution: I must follow the "never invent" rule. If the provided material is insufficient to reach the word count, I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without violating the primary directive of being a meticulous archivist who only writes verifiable facts.
Wait, let me re-read. "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... Use only supplied facts."
If I write only the facts provided, the text will be about 40 words.
If I try to reach 280 words, I will be inventing.
In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, the "Do not invent" rule is usually the highest priority for "meticulous" personas.
However, I should check if there is any other info in the sources.
