The synopsis is extremely brief. It only contains about 40 words of actual plot.
The instructions say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
The instructions also say: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap."
Conflict Check: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding non-existent information.
Strict Adherence: I must follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule. If the synopsis is sparse, I cannot invent details to meet the word count. However, I can expand on the series context provided in the sources to build a professional, encyclopedic entry, but I must not invent plot points for the specific episode.

Wait, the prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap. If the provided synopsis is only one sentence/paragraph, and I am forbidden from inventing anything, I literally cannot reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
