Episode recap
Task: Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S14E10 (Candy, Quahog Marshmallow).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
Constraint 3: No guessing or inventing plot points.
Constraint 4: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.

Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Peter, Cleveland, and Joe find a VHS tape called "Winter/Summer." It is an Asian soap opera that Quagmire starred in while living in Korea. They cannot find the final episode. The group travels to Korea to find it. Quagmire is reunited with his old lover. Meanwhile, Stewie worries he might become a redhead.
Source 1: General info (Family Guy 1999, TV-14, Animation and Comedy).
Source 3: Character info (Griffin family: Peter, Lois, three kids including Meg and Stewie).
Source 4: Voice actor info (Seth MacFarlane voices Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, and Glenn Quagmire).
Attempt 1 (Mental Draft):
In the Family Guy episode titled Candy, Quahog Marshmallow, Peter, Cleveland, and Joe discover a VHS tape. The tape is titled Winter/Summer and is an Asian soap opera. Glenn Quagmire starred in this series during the time he lived in Korea. Because the group is unable to find the final episode of the series, Peter, Cleveland, and Joe travel to Korea to locate it. During this trip, Quagmire is reunited with his old lover. In a separate storyline, Stewie Griffin expresses concern that he might become a redhead.
Critique 1: This is way too short. The prompt asks for 280-380 words. However, the provided synopsis is extremely sparse. The instructions say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Never invent or guess... plot points."
Conflict Resolution: There is a direct conflict between the word count requirement (280-380 words) and the instruction to "stay concise rather than guessing" if the synopsis is sparse. If I follow the "stay concise" and "never invent" rules, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates "original, neutral, encyclopedic prose."
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided by the sources (the series itself) to reach the word count, but I cannot invent plot details
