Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for The Rookie S7E7 (The Mickey).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: If details are missing, omit them rather than guessing.
Constraint 4: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 5: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "On Celina's last day as a rookie, John gives her one final test. Meanwhile, Bailey makes a new friend, and Lucy places her faith in Seth for an undercover assignment."
Sources:
[1, 2, 3, 5]: General series info. John Nolan is the oldest rookie, pursuing a dream to join the LAPD. Created by Alexi Hawley. Cast includes Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Melissa O'Neil.

Episode Title: The Mickey (S7E7).
Celina's last day as a rookie.
John gives Celina one final test.
Bailey makes a new friend.
Lucy places her faith in Seth for an undercover assignment.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
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 violates the "no inventing/guessing" rule.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the source material only provides about 40 words of plot.
Strategy: I must provide the facts available. If I cannot reach the word count without violating the "no inventing" rule, I must prioritize the "only verifiable facts" and "omit rather than guess" rules. However, usually, in these prompts, I should try to expand using the series context provided in the sources if possible, but the sources only provide general series descriptions, not episode-specific details.
Available Facts:
Series: The Rookie.
Episode: Season 7, Episode 7, titled The Mickey.
Plot: Celina is on her last day as a rookie. John gives her a final test. Bailey makes a new friend. Lucy places her faith in Seth for an undercover assignment.
