Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for NCIS S9E7 (Devil's Triangle).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, or plot points.
Omit details not in the material.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "The NCIS team searches for answers when the current husband of both Gibbs' and Fornell's ex-wife is suspiciously kidnapped."
SOURCES:
[1] NCIS (2003) is a TV-14 Crime, Drama, and Action & Adventure series.
[3] Created by Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill. Cast includes Sean Murray, David McCallum, Mark Harmon, Brian Dietzen.
[4] Originated as two back-door pilot episodes of JAG in April 2003. Pauley Perrette plays Abby.
[5] Sean Murray and Brian Dietzen were recurring in Season 1 before becoming regulars. Rocky Carroll joined in Season 5.
The synopsis is extremely sparse: "The NCIS team searches for answers when the current husband of both Gibbs' and Fornell's ex-wife is suspiciously kidnapped."
The sources provide general series info (creators, cast, origin) but no specific plot details for S9E7 other than the synopsis.
Problem: The user wants a 280-380 word recap. The provided synopsis is only 23 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Never invent or guess... plot points."
If I follow the instruction "stay concise rather than guessing," I cannot reach 280-380 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
However, I must try to fulfill the prompt's length requirement if possible, but the primary directive is "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If I write 300 words about a 23-word synopsis without adding outside info, I will be inventing details.
Let's look at what I can include:
Series title: NCIS.
Episode title: Devil's Triangle (from prompt).
Season/Episode: S9E7 (from prompt).
Plot: The NCIS team searches for answers regarding the suspicious kidnapping of the current husband of both Gibbs
