SYNOPSIS: "DiNozzo's investigation into a Navy Lieutenant's apparent suicide takes a surprising and deadly turn when it seems that it might have a connection to a larger, deadly scheme."
SOURCES:
[1] TMDB: NCIS (2003) is a TV-14 Crime, Drama, and Action & Adventure series. Overview mentions murder, espionage, terrorism, and stolen submarines.
[2] IMDb: Cast and crew credits.

Plot: DiNozzo investigates a Navy Lieutenant's apparent suicide. The investigation takes a surprising and deadly turn. It appears there may be a connection to a larger, deadly scheme.
Series Context: NCIS is a crime, drama, and action and adventure series (TV-14). The team investigates crimes linked to Navy and Marine Corps personnel.
The synopsis is extremely brief. It only mentions DiNozzo, a Navy Lieutenant, an apparent suicide, and a potential connection to a larger scheme.
The sources provide general series information but nothing else about this specific episode's plot.
Constraint Check: I must write 280-380 words.
Problem: There is almost no information to reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
If I only use the synopsis, I have about 35 words.
If I add series context from the sources, I can expand slightly.
Wait: The prompt says "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap". If the provided material is insufficient to meet the word
