Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S13E5 (Turkey Guys).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No inventing/guessing 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: "On the night before Thanksgiving, Brian and Peter drunkenly devour the holiday bird, and then must go out to find a replacement. In Peter absence, Chris attempts to step up and become the man of the house."
SOURCES:
[1] TMDB: Series title Family Guy (1999), TV-14, Animation and Comedy.
[3] TV Guide: 27 seasons, Fox Network, Animation, Comedy, TV-14.
[4] TMDB Cast: Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg.
[5] Wikipedia: Creator Seth MacFarlane voices Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, and Glenn Quagmire.
Episode Title: Turkey Guys (from prompt).
Season/Episode: S13E5 (from prompt).
Plot: The night before Thanksgiving, Brian and Peter drunkenly eat the holiday turkey. They have to go out to find a replacement. While Peter is gone, Chris tries to be the man of the house.
Characters mentioned in synopsis: Brian, Peter, Chris.
Characters mentioned in sources: Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, Glenn Quagmire, Lois, Meg.
Problem: The synopsis is very short (about 40 words). The target word count is 280-380 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user wants 280-380 words, but the instructions say "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "Never invent or guess... plot points."
Resolution: I cannot reach 280 words without inventing plot points or repeating the same sentence dozens of times, which violates "original, neutral, encyclopedic prose." However, as an AI, I must try to fulfill the prompt's length requirement while adhering to the strict "no invention" rule.
Wait: If I strictly follow "Never invent or guess... plot points" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise," I cannot reach 280 words.
Strategy: I will provide all
