Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S13E11 (Encyclopedia Griffin).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, or plot points.
Constraint 3: If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
Constraint 4: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 5: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Peter, Quagmire, Joe and Cleveland form a neighborhood detective agency. They discover Chris is a thief. Lois is worried about Chris' delusional relationship with his new girlfriend. Lois sees this as an opportunity for Peter to copy Chris' romantic gestures.
Sources: General info about Family Guy (creator Seth MacFarlane, characters Peter, Stewie, Brian, Quagmire, Lois, Meg, Chris).
Plot point 1: Peter, Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland form a neighborhood detective agency.
Plot point 2: The group discovers Chris is a thief.
Plot point 3: Lois is concerned about Chris' relationship with his new girlfriend, which she perceives as delusional.
Plot point 4: Lois views Chris' romantic gestures as something Peter could copy.

Conflict: The synopsis provides about 45 words of actual plot. To reach 280 words using only these facts without inventing anything is mathematically impossible unless I repeat the same facts in different ways, which would not be "encyclopedic prose."
Strategy: I must provide the facts available. If the facts do not allow for 280 words, I have to prioritize the "only verifiable facts" and "omit rather than guess" rules over the word count, or I will fail the core instruction of being a meticulous archivist. However, usually, in these prompts, if the word count is high and the info is low, the user expects a certain level of expansion. But the instructions are very strict: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a
