Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Supernatural S9E2 (Devil May Care).
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Dean and Sam take a captive Crowley to the Men of Letters base. They hope he will give up the names of people possessed by his minion demons. Before they get information, they are called away to investigate the disappearance of three soldiers.
Sources:
[1] Series title: Supernatural.
[2] Created by Eric Kripke. Broadcast on The WB and later The CW. 15 seasons. Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are brothers.
[3] Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Misha Collins.
[4] Background: Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a demonic force. Father raised them as hunters.
Subject: Supernatural Season 9, Episode 2, "Devil May Care".
Characters: Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki), Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles), Crowley.
Plot:
Sam and Dean have Crowley in captivity.
They take him to the Men of Letters base.
Goal: Get names of people possessed by Crowley's minion demons.
Interruption: They are called to investigate the disappearance of three soldiers.
Problem: The synopsis is extremely short. The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict: The provided synopsis only contains about 45 words of plot information. To reach 280 words without "guessing" or "inventing" is impossible if I strictly follow "only verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided by the sources (the series background, the actors, the creators) to reach the word count, while keeping the episode recap centered on the synopsis. However, the prompt asks for an episode recap. If I only use the synopsis, I cannot reach 280 words
