Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Supernatural S6E7 (Family Matters).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, or plot points.
No guessing.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count target: 280-380 words.
TMDB Episode Synopsis: Dean becomes suspicious of Samuel's motives, but Sam isn't sold on the idea that their grandfather is doing anything wrong. The brothers go along on a hunt with Samuel and the other Campbells, but things go terribly awry.
Series Sources:
Series title: Supernatural.
Created by: Eric Kripke.
Cast: Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester), Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester), Jim Beaver, Misha Collins.
Premise: Two brothers follow their father's footsteps as hunters, fighting evil supernatural beings (monsters, demons, gods).
Backstory: Sam and Dean lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. Their father raised them as soldiers to kill paranormal evil.
Broadcast: The WB and later The CW for 15 seasons (2005-2020).
The synopsis for the specific episode is very short: "Dean becomes suspicious of Samuel's motives, but Sam isn't sold on the idea that their grandfather is doing anything wrong. The brothers go along on a hunt with Samuel and the other Campbells, but things go terribly awry."
The sources provide general series info: Sam and Dean Winchester are brothers. Sam is played by Jared Padalecki. Dean is played by Jensen Ackles. They are hunters.
The episode synopsis mentions "Samuel" and "the other Campbells." It identifies Samuel as their "grandfather."
Problem: The synopsis is extremely brief (only about 45 words). The user wants a 280-380 word recap.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: I cannot reach 280 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden. I must follow the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" over the word count instruction if the word count requires invention. However, I should try to incorporate as much context from the sources as possible to build a professional entry.
