TMDB Synopsis: "Supergirl Season 2 continues the overarching saga across 22 episodes."
Source [1]: Mentions "Supergirl (2015)", "TV-14", "Drama, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, and Action & Adventure", "Twenty-four-year-old Kara Zor-El, who was taken in by the Danv".
Source [2]/[3]: Creators (Ali Adler, Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg), Cast (Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh, David Harewood, Katie McGrath).
Source [4]: "Twenty-four-year-old Kara Zor-El, who was taken in by the Danvers family when she was 13 after being sent away from Krypton, must learn to".
Source [5]: Developed by Ali Adler, Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, aired on CBS.
Overview: The provided synopsis for Season 2 is extremely brief: "Supergirl Season 2 continues the overarching saga across 22 episodes."
The sources provide general series info: Kara Zor-El is twenty-four years old, was taken in by the Danvers family at age 13 after being sent away from Krypton. The series is a drama, sci-fi, fantasy, and action-adventure show. It was developed by Ali Adler, Greg Berlanti, and Andrew Kreisberg.
Problem: The prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary of this season's narrative arc. However, the only information about Season 2's narrative arc in the provided text is that it "continues the overarching saga across 22 episodes."
I cannot invent plot points. If I write a 160-220 word summary based only on the provided text, I will fail the word count constraint because there isn't enough information.
Wait, let me re-read. "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If I cannot meet the word count requirement without inventing facts, I have a conflict. However, usually, in these "strict" prompts,
