Episode recap

Task: Write an episode recap for The Rookie S8E15 (Survive the Streets).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
Constraint 3: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 5: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Constraint 6: If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing.
Synopsis: "The team works together after Nolan and Celina discover a possible suicide that spirals into conspiracy."
Source [1]: Series title: The Rookie (2018). Tagline: "Never off duty."
Source [2]: Based on real-life LAPD officer William Norcross.
Source [3]: John Nolan is a small-town guy pursuing his dream of being an LAPD officer. He is the force's oldest rookie.
Source [4]: Tru Valentino promoted to series regular for Season 5. Entertainment One is lead studio. Co-production with ABC Signature.
Source [5]: John Nolan is the oldest rookie.
Episode Title: Survive the Streets (S8E15).
Plot: Nolan and Celina discover a possible suicide. This discovery spirals into a conspiracy. The team works together.
Characters mentioned in synopsis: Nolan, Celina.
Series context: John Nolan is an LAPD officer and the oldest rookie.
The provided synopsis is extremely brief: "The team works together after Nolan and Celina discover a possible suicide that spirals into conspiracy."
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: There is almost no information to reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user wants 280-380 words, but the instructions say "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If I write 280 words, I will have to repeat myself or include irrelevant series background info (like John Nolan's backstory) to fill space.
Let's see what I can include:
Episode title: Survive the Streets.
Episode number: Season 8, Episode 15.
Plot: Nolan and Celina find a possible suicide. It becomes a conspiracy. The team works together.
