S7·E15 A Deadly Secret

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for The Rookie S7E15 (A Deadly Secret).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
No guessing or inventing plot points.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "Documentary filmmakers interview the LAPD on a complicated missing person's case connected to John."
Source [1]: Series title The Rookie (2018). Tagline: "Never off duty."
Source [3]: John Nolan is a small-town guy pursuing his dream of being an LAPD officer after a life-altering incident. He is the force's oldest rookie.
Source [5]: Created by Alexi Hawley. Cast includes Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Melissa O'Neil.
The synopsis is extremely brief: "Documentary filmmakers interview the LAPD on a complicated missing person's case connected to John."
The sources provide context about the show (John Nolan is the oldest rookie, LAPD setting, creator, cast).
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: The provided synopsis is only one sentence. If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" 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 plot points.
If I write 300 words about a one-sentence synopsis, I will be inventing details (e.g., what the filmmakers ask, what the missing person is, how John reacts, what the LAPD says).
The instruction says: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
However, the user specifically requested a "grounded 280-380 word episode recap."
There is a direct conflict between the word count requirement and the "do not invent/stay concise" requirement.
In professional archiving/reference writing, accuracy is paramount. If the source material is insufficient to meet a word count, the archivist must report what is known rather than hallucinating.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... Use only supplied facts. Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present. If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
