Problem: I cannot meet the 160-220 word count requirement because the provided text is extremely sparse. The provided text only gives names, the profession, the creator, the network, the dates, and the episode count. There is no narrative arc described in the sources.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: The prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary of the narrative arc, but the sources contain zero information about the narrative arc of Season 2. They only name the doctors and their profession.
Decision: I must write what is available. If I cannot reach
