Episode recap
Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Supernatural S8E16 (Remember the Titans).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Do not invent or guess titles, names, dates, etc.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise (but the word count target is 280-380 words).
Self-Correction/Constraint Check: The prompt asks for 280-380 words, but the provided synopsis is extremely short (only two sentences). The sources provide general series info but no specific plot details for S8E16 other than what is in the synopsis.
Synopsis: Sam and Dean are stumped when they investigate a possible zombie case where an amnesiac man dies and then revives himself every day. After the man is attacked by the goddess Artemis, Sam and Dean realize he’s not a zombie.
Sources:
[1] Series title: Supernatural (2005).

The synopsis for S8E16 is: "Sam and Dean are stumped when they investigate a possible zombie case where an amnesiac man dies and then revives himself every day. After the man is attacked by the goddess Artemis, Sam and Dean realize he’s not a zombie."
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: There is almost no information to reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" and "only verifiable facts" rules.
If I follow the instructions strictly ("If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing"), I cannot reach 280 words. However, the prompt also says "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Usually, in these types of prompts, the "stay concise" instruction takes precedence over the word count if the source material is insufficient. If I try to fluff it to 280 words, I will be inventing details, which is explicitly forbidden.
