Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for The Mentalist S7E13 (White Orchids).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, episode counts, awards, ratings, box-office, or plot points.
No guessing or inventing details.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Length: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Lisbon accepts Jane's surprise marriage proposal, but a killer's quest for revenge may cost them the happy ending they've worked so hard to achieve.
Source [1]: The Mentalist (2008), TV-14, Crime, Drama, and Mystery. Patrick Jane is a former celebrity psychic medium.
Source [2]: American procedural drama. Ran from Sept 23, 2008, to Feb 18, 2015. 151 episodes over seven seasons on CBS.

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."
If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported," I cannot reach 280 words because there are simply not enough facts in the provided text to reach that word count without inventing details.
However, I must attempt to fulfill the prompt's constraints. If I cannot reach the word count without violating the "no guessing/no inventing" rule, I must prioritize the "verifiable facts" rule.
