Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S12E14 ("Fresh Heir").
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
Omit details not in the material.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Chris becomes the heir to Carter's fortune but refuses to accept the money; Peter desperately tries to keep the wealth in the family.
Sources:
[1] TMDB: General info.
[2] IMDb: Cast/crew info.
[3] Wikipedia: Created by Seth MacFarlane for Fox. Premiered Jan 31, 1999. Centers on the Griffins.
[4] TMDB Cast: Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg.
[5] TV Guide: 27 seasons, Fox Network, Animation, Comedy, TV-14.
The synopsis is extremely brief: "Chris becomes the heir to Carter's fortune but refuses to accept the money; Peter desperately tries to keep the wealth in the family."
The sources provide context about the show (created by Seth MacFarlane, Fox, animation, comedy, characters like Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg, Chris).
Problem: The synopsis is only about 25 words. The target word count is 280-380 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present."
Conflict: I cannot meet the 280-380 word count without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden by the prompt ("You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess...").
If I write only what is in the synopsis, the text will be: "In the Family Guy episode titled Fresh Heir, Chris becomes the heir to Carter's fortune but refuses to accept the money. Peter desperately tries to keep the wealth in the family."
This is about 30 words.
The prompt asks for 280-380 words.
However, the instructions also say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Never add... plot events not explicitly present."
In professional archiving/fact-checking, accuracy takes precedence over length requirements if the length requirement forces the invention of facts.
