Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for NCIS S8E10 (False Witness).
Constraints: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invented titles, names, dates, etc. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. Plain text only. Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Target word count: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "The NCIS team investigates the disappearance of a Petty Officer who is the sole witness in an upcoming murder trial."
SOURCES:
[1] TMDB: Series title NCIS (2003), TV-14, Crime, Drama, Action & Adventure.
[2] IMDb: Created by Donald P. Bellisario, Don McGill. Cast includes Sean Murray, David McCallum, Mark Harmon, Brian Dietzen.

The synopsis is extremely sparse: "The NCIS team investigates the disappearance of a Petty Officer who is the sole witness in an upcoming murder trial."
The sources provide general series information but no specific plot details for Season 8, Episode 10.
Problem: The user wants a 280-380 word recap. However, the provided synopsis only contains one sentence of plot information.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." "Never invent or guess... plot points."
If I follow the instructions strictly, I cannot reach 280 words because there is literally nothing else to say about the plot of S8E10 in the provided text.
If I try to expand on the series history (which is in the sources), I can add some context, but the prompt asks for an episode recap.
The synopsis for the specific episode is: "The NCIS team investigates the disappearance of a Petty Officer who is the sole witness in an upcoming murder trial."
I cannot invent the name of the Petty Officer, the name of the murder trial, the names of the agents involved in this specific case, or how the investigation unfolds.
I must state what is known about the episode based only on the provided text.
The episode is titled False Witness and is the tenth episode of the eighth season of the television series NCIS.
