The synopsis is extremely brief. It only contains three main plot elements.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding "fluff" that isn't a fact.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict Resolution: The prompt asks for a specific word count but also strictly forbids adding any information not in the text. The provided text is only about 40 words long.
