Plot Point 1: Officer Aaron Thorsen returns to work for his first day since an assault.
Plot Point 2: Thorsen is assigned high-stress cases to evaluate his readiness to return to duty.
Plot Point 3: The team investigates a homicide.
Plot Point 4: This homicide may be connected to the pentagram killer.
The synopsis is very short. The sources provide general series info but nothing about the specific plot of S6E4 other than the synopsis.
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: The provided synopsis is only about 40 words. The sources provide no additional plot details for this specific episode.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." "Never invent or guess... plot points."
If I strictly follow "Never invent or guess... plot points" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I cannot reach 280-380 words without violating the core instruction of not inventing facts.
However, the prompt demands a 280-380 word recap.
