Title: Supergirl (2015)
Rating: TV-14

Snippet: "Twenty-four-year-old Kara Zor-El, who was taken in by the Danv..." (Cut off).
Overview: The provided text says: "Supergirl Season 5 continues the overarching saga across 19 episodes." The snippet mentions "Twenty-four-year-old Kara Zor-El, who was taken in by the Danv...".
Problem: The provided text is extremely sparse. It does not contain enough information to write a 160-220 word summary.
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." "You never invent or guess... plot points."
Conflict: I am asked to write 160-220 words, but the source material only provides about 20 words of actual content. If I follow the "only verifiable facts" rule, I cannot reach the word count requirement without inventing information.
Primer: The source material mentions Kara Zor-El is twenty-four years old and was taken in by the Danv... (cut off). It does not provide enough "essential previous lore, character positions, and stakes" to create 4 bullet points.
If I write a 160-220 word summary, I will be inventing facts, which violates the core instruction: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
