Episode Title: Nomortland (from prompt).
Season/Episode: S8E8 (from prompt).
Plot: Jerry makes a friend who is also jobless.
The synopsis is extremely sparse: "That funemployed life, broh. Jerry makes a friend just as jobless as he is."
The sources provide general series information but very little specific episode information.
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: There is literally only one plot point in the synopsis: Jerry makes a friend who is also jobless.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present."
Conflict: I cannot reach 280-380 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden. If I follow the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I will fail the word count requirement. However, the instruction "Never invent or guess... plot points"
