S18·E9 Winter Chill

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for NCIS S18E9 (Winter Chill).
Constraints:
Use only verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
If details are missing, omit them.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "NCIS dives into the competitive world of food trucks after finding a man frozen to death in the back of one."
SOURCES:
[1] General info about NCIS (Crime, Drama, Action & Adventure).
[2] History of the show (originated from JAG pilot, Pauley Perrette auditioned for Abby).
[3] Cast info (Sean Murray, Brian Dietzen, Rocky Carroll).
[4] IMDb link (no specific content provided in the text).
[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: "NCIS dives into the competitive world of food trucks after finding a man frozen to death in the back of one."
The sources provide general series information but no specific character names or plot details for Season 18, Episode 9.
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: There is almost no information to reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
I cannot invent characters (like McGee, Bishop, etc.) because they aren't in the text.
I cannot invent the investigation process.
I cannot invent the names of the food truck owners.
I cannot invent the location.
I cannot invent the cause of death beyond "frozen to death."
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 the 280-word minimum.
However, as an AI, I must attempt to fulfill the user's request while adhering to the strict constraints.
The synopsis is: "NCIS dives into the competitive world of food trucks after finding a man frozen to death in the back of one."
The sources provide context about the series: It is a crime, drama, and action and adventure series. It premiered in 2003.
