Synopsis

Broh is risen. The Smiths learn the true meaning of Easter. Kind of. Broh.

Source-grounded

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Rick and Morty S8E4 ("The Last Temptation of Jerry").
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: If details are missing, omit them.
Constraint 4: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 5: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "Broh is risen. The Smiths learn the true meaning of Easter. Kind of. Broh."
Series Info: Rick and Morty (2013), Animation, Comedy, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Action & Adventure. Follows a sociopathic genius scientist and his timid/nervous grandson on adventures across the universe/intergalactic travel.
Episode Title: The Last Temptation of Jerry.
Episode Number: Season 8, Episode 4.
Plot points: The Smiths learn the true meaning of Easter (kind of). Mention of "Broh is risen."
The synopsis is extremely sparse. It only mentions "The Smiths learn the true meaning of Easter" and "Broh is risen."
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: There is almost no information to reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the instructions say "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If I write 280 words based on "The Smiths learn the true meaning of Easter. Kind of. Broh," I will be inventing details, which is strictly forbidden by the system prompt.
The system prompt's instruction to "stay concise rather than guessing" takes precedence over the user's word count request if the word count cannot be met without violating the core "no invention" rule.
However, I can expand on the series context provided in the sources to add length, but I must not invent plot details for the specific episode.
Series: Rick and Morty (2013).
Genre: Animation, Comedy, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Action & Adventure.
Premise: Follows a sociopathic genius scientist and his inherently timid/overly nervous grandson, Morty, as they split time between
