Synopsis: Sam and Dean investigate a UFO sighting. Dean is abducted from a crop circle. Dean discovers he is dealing with fairies, not aliens. Only Dean can see the fairy attacking him, making it hard to trace/stop them. Sam's investigation leads to a world of elves, gnomes, and a leprechaun.

Premise: Two brothers (Sam and Dean Winchester) follow their father's footsteps as hunters, fighting evil supernatural beings like monsters, demons, and gods.
Drafting Content:
Sam and Dean Winchester, portrayed by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles respectively, are investigating a UFO sighting. During this investigation, Dean is abducted from a crop circle. Upon awakening, Dean realizes that the entity responsible is not an alien, but a fairy. The situation is complicated because Dean is the only one who can see the fairy that is attacking him, which makes the process of tracing and stopping the creatures difficult. As Sam continues his investigation, he discovers a world inhabited by various supernatural beings, including elves, gnomes, and a leprechaun.
Checking Word Count & Detail:
The current draft is very short (approx 100 words). The prompt asks for 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis is extremely sparse. If I strictly follow "Use only supplied facts" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I cannot reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Re-evaluating Constraints:
"Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap..." vs "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
