Episode recap

Task: Write an episode recap for The Rookie S7E1 ("The Shot").
Constraints:
Length: 280-380 words.
Content: Only verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose, plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Strictness: No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, or plot points. If not in the material, omit it.
Provided Material:
Synopsis: John is recovering from a gunshot wound and feeling the effects of his age. He and the team welcome two new rookies. They continue the hunt for two dangerous inmates with personal vendettas following their prison escape.
Sources: General info about the show (created by Alexi Hawley, stars Nathan Fillion, etc.).
Episode Title: The Shot.
Episode Number: Season 7, Episode 1.
Character: John (Nolan).
Plot Point 1: John is recovering from a gunshot wound.
Plot Point 2: John is feeling the effects of his age.
Plot Point 3: John and the team welcome two new rookies.
Plot Point 4: The team continues the hunt for two dangerous inmates.

The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 45 words of actual plot information.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict Resolution: As an archivist, I cannot invent facts to meet a word count. If I write 280 words based on a 45-word synopsis without inventing anything, I will fail the word count. However, the instructions say "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Decision: I must prioritize the "verifiable facts" and "omit rather than guess" rules. If I cannot reach 280 words without inventing details, I must provide the facts available. However, usually, in these prompts, the user expects the word count to be met. But the instructions are very specific: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Wait, I can include series-level information
