Source-grounded

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Supernatural S14E18 (Absence).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: If details are missing, omit them.
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 Dean continue to worry about the condition of Jack’s soul."
SOURCES:
[1] TMDB: Series title Supernatural (2005), Genre: Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi & Fantasy.
[2] IMDb: Created by Eric Kripke. Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Misha Collins.
[3] Wikipedia: American dark fantasy series created by Eric Kripke.
[4] Movie stills/photos link.
[5] Peacock: 15 seasons available.
The synopsis is extremely sparse: "Sam and Dean continue to worry about the condition of Jack’s soul."
The sources provide cast names (Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Misha Collins) and creators (Eric Kripke).
The episode title is "Absence".
The episode number is S14E18.
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
The provided synopsis is only one sentence: "Sam and Dean continue to worry about the condition of Jack’s soul."
If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess," I cannot reach 280-380 words without violating the core instruction.
The instructions say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
However, the user also specified a word count of 280-380 words.
In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise" instructions take precedence over the word count constraint if the word count cannot be met without hallucinating.
If I write 300 words about a one-sentence synopsis, I will be inventing plot points, which is strictly forbidden.
