Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Supernatural S8E19 (Taxi Driver).
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 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: Kevin is terrified. He has started hearing Crowley's voice in his head and calls Sam and Dean for help. After hearing Kevin's news, Sam and Dean team up with a reaper named Ajay, who helps them with the second trial from the demon tablet.
Sources: General series info (Sam and Dean Winchester, series dates, creator Eric Kripke, genre).
Kevin is terrified.
Kevin hears Crowley's voice in his head.
Kevin calls Sam and Dean for help.
Sam and Dean team up with a reaper named Ajay.
Ajay helps them with the second trial from the demon tablet.
The synopsis is extremely brief (about 45 words).
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Conflict: I cannot invent details to reach the word count. I must only use provided facts. If I only use the provided facts, the text will be very short.
Instructional Priority: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present."
Constraint Check: The user wants 280-380 words, but the instructions say "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Resolution: I cannot fulfill the 280-380 word count requirement without violating the "no guessing/no inventing" rule. I will write the most thorough recap possible using only the provided facts. However, if I strictly follow "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I will end up with a very short text.

Wait, let me look at the sources again.
