Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, etc.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).

Episode Title: The Great Escapist (from prompt).
Characters: Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester, Kevin Tran, Castiel, Naomi.
Plot Points:
Sam and Dean receive a distressing video message from Kevin Tran.
They attempt to uncover the third trial.
A discovery sends them to a casino in Colorado.
They find a mysterious recluse in Colorado who may fill in holes in Kevin's research.
Castiel is trying to elude Naomi and the angels hunting him.
The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 60 words of actual plot. If I strictly follow "Use only supplied facts" and "Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present," I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates the "encyclopedic prose" and "never invent" rules.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The prompt asks for 280-380 words but also says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Resolution: I must prioritize the "Use only supplied facts" and "stay concise" instructions over the word count if the source material does not support a longer text. However, usually, in these LLM prompts, the user wants me to try to hit the length. But as a "meticulous archivist," I cannot invent facts.
Wait: Let me look at the sources again. The sources provide general series info: Created by Eric Kripke, stars Jared Padalecki (Sam) and Jensen Ackles
