Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Supernatural S14E15 (Peace of Mind).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, viewership, or plot points.
Constraint 3: If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
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: Sam and Castiel follow a case to a picturesque little town in Arkansas, only to find out nothing is as idyllic as it appears to be. Dean and Jack take a road trip to visit an old friend.
Sources: General series info (created by Eric Kripke, stars Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Misha Collins; follows Sam and Dean Winchester; aired on WB/CW; 15 seasons).
Sam and Castiel follow a case to a picturesque little town in Arkansas.
The town is not as idyllic as it appears.
Dean and Jack take a road trip to visit an old friend.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding information not in the text.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict Resolution: As an archivist, I must follow the instruction to only use provided facts. If the provided facts only allow for ~40 words, I cannot fulfill the 280-380 word count without violating the "never invent or guess" and "only verifiable facts" rules. However, I can expand on the series context provided in the sources to build a professional, encyclopedic introduction to the episode within the context of the show.
Drafting Strategy:
1. Introduce the series context (created by Eric Kripke, follows Sam and Dean Winchester, etc.) using Sources [1-5].
2. Transition to the specific episode details provided in the TMDB synopsis.
3. Mention the characters involved in the episode's plot lines.
