The synopsis is extremely brief: Grace is kidnapped by a killer hunting former CBI members. The suspect has an alibi. Jane must find her.
The sources provide context about the show: Patrick Jane is a former celebrity psychic medium working with the CBI. The show is a crime drama.
Problem: The user wants a 280-380 word recap. The provided synopsis is only about 40 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: I cannot reach 280 words without inventing details or repeating the same facts endlessly, which violates the "encyclopedic prose" and "do not invent" rules. However, I must try to fulfill the prompt's length requirement if possible, but the primary instruction is to only use provided facts.
Strategy: I will expand on the context of the series and the character of Patrick Jane as provided in the sources to build the foundation, then detail the specific plot points of the episode provided in the synopsis. I will not invent plot points.
