Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for NCIS S6E14 (Love and War).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
If a detail is missing, omit it.
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose, plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: The team discovers a link between a sergeant's murder and his possibly treasonous private life.
SOURCES:
[1] NCIS (2003) is a TV-14 Crime, Drama, and Action & Adventure series.
[2] Created by Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill. Stars Sean Murray, David McCallum, Mark Harmon, Brian Dietzen. Follows the Major Case Response Team of the NCIS investigating criminal cases connected to the US Navy and Marines Corps personnel and their families.
[3] Cast info (not relevant to S6E14 plot).
[4] Origin info (not relevant to S6E14 plot).
[5] Cast info (not relevant to S6E14 plot).
The synopsis is extremely brief: "The team discovers a link between a sergeant's murder and his possibly treasonous private life."
The sources provide context about the show (NCIS follows the Major Case Response Team investigating crimes involving US Navy and Marines Corps personnel), but no specific details about the characters involved in S6E14 or the specific sergeant's name.
The user wants a 280-380 word recap.
The provided synopsis is only one sentence: "The team discovers a link between a sergeant's murder and his possibly treasonous private life."
The instructions say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If I follow the instructions strictly, I cannot reach 280 words because there are no facts to support a longer text. I cannot invent names, scenes, or dialogue.
Self-Correction/Strategy: I must write what is available. If I write only one sentence, I fail the word count. However, if I invent details to meet the word count, I violate the core instruction: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess..."
The prompt asks for a "grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
