Synopsis: Peter grows frustrated when players on opposing teams continue to thank God after defeating his beloved New England Patriots football team, so he and the guys embark on a global quest to find God and ask Him to stop interfering with the outcome of professional football games.
Sources:

Episode Title: 3 Acts of God.
Series: Family Guy.
Season/Episode: S12E13.
Plot: Peter is frustrated because opposing players thank God after defeating the New England Patriots. Peter and his friends go on a global quest to find God to ask Him to stop interfering with professional football games.
Context: Family Guy is an American animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. It features the Griffin family.
The synopsis is extremely short (one sentence).
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 "never invent or guess" and "only verifiable facts" rules.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict Resolution: Usually, in these prompts, if the source material is insufficient to meet the word count without violating the "no guessing" rule, the "no guessing" rule takes precedence in professional archiving. However, I must try to expand using the series information provided to provide context, but the episode recap itself is limited
