Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S13E16 (Roasted Guy).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, etc.
No dialogue, scene order, or unmentioned plot events.
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose, plain text.
Format: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "Peter's friends roast him. With his feelings hurt, he seeks refuge by befriending a group of gossipy women."
Sources:
[1] TMDB: General info about Family Guy.
[2] IMDb: Cast/crew link.
[3] TMDB: Mentions the Griffin family (Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg). Stewie is a brilliant but sadistic baby.
[4] Wikipedia: Seth MacFarlane voices Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, and Glenn Quagmire.
The synopsis is extremely brief: Peter is roasted by friends, gets his feelings hurt, and befriends gossipy women.
The sources provide character names (Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg, Brian, Glenn Quagmire) and general descriptions.
Problem: The synopsis is only two sentences long. The word count requirement is 280-380 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. If the provided material only contains two plot points, I cannot write 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" and "only verifiable facts" rules.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... Use only supplied facts. Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present. If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
This is a contradictory instruction. If I follow "stay concise rather than guessing," I will fail the word count. If I follow the word count, I must invent facts.
Decision: In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, the "Never invent or guess" and "Use only supplied facts" are the primary constraints for a "meticulous archivist." The word count is a target, but the integrity of the facts is paramount. However, if I write only 30 words, I am not fulfilling the user's primary request for a 280-3
