Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S12E3 (Quagmire's Quagmire).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
No markdown, asterisks, headings, or bullet points.
Plain text only.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
Input Data:
Synopsis: Quagmire dates Sonja (sexually active). She kidnaps him to be her sex slave. Peter, Joe, and Ida search Quahog's seedy back alleys to rescue him. Brian, Stewie, and Rupert are in a most unusual love triangle.
Sources: General series info (Family Guy, 1999, Animation/Comedy, TV-14, Creator Seth MacFarlane, etc.).
Episode Title: Quagmire's Quagmire.
Plot Point 1: Quagmire dates Sonja.
Plot Point 2: Sonja is as sexually active as Quagmire.
Plot Point 3: Sonja kidnaps Quagmire to be her sex slave.
Plot Point 4: Peter, Joe, and Ida search the seedy back alleys of Quahog to rescue Quagmire.
Plot Point 5: Brian, Stewie, and Rupert are involved in a most unusual love triangle.
The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I will run out of material long before reaching 280 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict Resolution: As an archivist, I cannot invent facts to meet a word count. However, the prompt explicitly asks for 280-380 words. If I strictly follow "use only supplied facts" and "never invent", and the facts provided only amount to about 50 words, I cannot reach 280 words without violating the primary instruction of not inventing facts.
Strategy: I will expand on the context provided by the sources (the series itself) to provide an encyclopedic introduction, but I must be careful not to invent plot details. I will describe the series context (animation, comedy, characters like Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg) as provided in the sources to build the word count, then focus on the episode's specific plot.
