Episode recap

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for The Crystal Maze S2E9 (Episode 09).

The synopsis is very short.

Problem: There is almost no information in the provided text to reach 280 words without "inventing or guessing."
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap."
