Episode Title: Ricker than Fiction (S8E7).
Plot: Rick and Morty write the next installment of their favorite movie franchise.
Self-Correction on Length: The synopsis is extremely sparse. The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap. However, the instructions also say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Use only supplied facts. Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present."
Conflict Resolution: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words because the synopsis only contains one sentence of plot. If I expand to reach 280 words, I will be "guessing" or "inventing" details, which violates the primary instruction.
Strategy: I must provide as much context as possible from the sources regarding the series and the episode's premise without violating the "no guessing" rule. I will describe the series context (characters, creators, genre) and then the specific episode
