Source-grounded

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for The Mentalist S6E6 (Fire and Brimstone).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
If details are missing, omit them (do not guess).
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis (TMDB): Jane attempts to gather the remaining Red John suspects in one place with the final clue in hand in hopes of revealing Red John's identity.
Source [1]: The Mentalist (2008), TV-14, Crime, Drama, and Mystery. Patrick Jane is a former celebrity psychic medium.
Source [2]: Patrick Jane is a mentalist (highly developed sense of observation, illusion of psi abilities) with a haunted past. He helps the California Bureau of Investigation solve crimes.
Source [3]: Directed by Chris Long. Starring Simon Baker, Robin Tunney, Tim Kang, Joe Adler. Patrick Jane uses observation and expertise at "reading" people.
Source [4]: Cast includes Simon Baker, Robin Tunney, Tim Kang, Owain Yeoman.
Source [5]: Patrick Jane is a famous "psychic" who outs himself as a fake. He uses observational skills and knowledge of the human psyche to work with police to find "Red John," the madman who killed his family.
The synopsis is extremely brief: "With the final clue in hand, Jane attempts to gather the remaining Red John suspects in one place in hopes of finally revealing his identity."
The sources provide context about the character Patrick Jane (former psychic, mentalist, works with CBI, looking for Red John who killed his family) and the series (Crime, Drama, Mystery).
Problem: The user wants a 280-380 word recap. The provided synopsis is only one sentence. The sources provide background but no specific plot details for this specific episode other than the one sentence in the synopsis.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present."
If I strictly follow "Never add... plot events not explicitly present" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I cannot reach 280 words without violating the core instruction of not inventing facts.
The synopsis is: "With the final clue in hand, Jane attempts to gather the remaining Red John suspects in one place in hopes of finally revealing his identity."
