Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Season 7.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts, names, dates, etc. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points in the text (though the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Input Data:
TMDB Synopsis: Season 7 features returning housewives Erika Girardi, Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, and Eileen Davidson. New housewife Dorit Kemsley and friend Eden Sassoon join.
Source 1: General overview (affluent women).
Source 2: Creators (Scott Dunlop, Alex Baskin, Kathleen French, Douglas Ross). Cast mentions Kyle Richards, Adrienne Maloof, Camille Grammer, Lisa Vanderpump.
Source 3: Series info (Bravo, started Oct 14, 2010, 6th installment of franchise, 15 seasons).
Source 4/5: General overview (affluent women, lifestyle, friendships, family, business).
Overview: Needs to be 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis for Season 7 is extremely short: "In season seven, returning housewives Erika Girardi, Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, and Eileen Davidson welcome new housewife Dorit Kemsley and friend Eden Sassoon."
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: The synopsis is only ~30 words. To reach 160-220 words without inventing facts is impossible.
Strategy: I must expand using the general series information provided in the sources, but I cannot invent specific Season 7 plot points. I will describe the series context (affluent women, Beverly Hills, friendships, family, business) and then integrate the specific Season 7 cast information. However, even with all sources, I cannot reach 160 words without repeating myself or "guessing" the narrative arc.
Wait: The instructions say "factual 160-220 word summary of this season's narrative arc." If the source doesn't provide a narrative arc, I can only state what is there. If I can't meet the word count without violating
