S8·E16 Out of Time

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for The Rookie S8E16 (Out of Time).
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 target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "Nolan is put to the test when he's forced to protect a man he doesn't trust. Meanwhile, Lucy and Celina follow a promising lead, and Lopez finds herself conflicted about Wesley's new position."
Sources:
[1] Series title: The Rookie (2018). Tagline: "Never off duty."
[2] Based on real-life LAPD officer William Norcross.
[3] Protagonist: John Nolan. Small-town guy. Oldest rookie. Met with skepticism.
[4] Tru Valentino promoted to series regular for Season 5. Entertainment One is lead studio. Co-production with ABC Signature.
[5] John Nolan pursuing dream of joining LAPD.
The synopsis is extremely brief:
Nolan must protect a man he does not trust.
Lucy and Celina follow a promising lead.
Lopez is conflicted about Wesley's new position.
The sources provide background on the show (John Nolan, LAPD, based on William Norcross, etc.) but do not provide more plot details for S8E16.
The user wants a 280-380 word recap.
The provided synopsis is only about 35 words.
The sources provide general series info but no additional episode-specific info.
Problem: If I strictly follow the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "Use only supplied facts," I cannot reach 280-380 words without repeating myself or adding fluff/guessing, which is forbidden.
Constraint Check: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: The word count requirement (280-380) contradicts the "stay concise" and "omit if not in material" instructions when the source material is only ~35 words of plot.
I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "omit rather than guess" instructions over the word count, as the word count is impossible to meet without
