Episode recap

Topic: Episode recap for Family Guy S14E11 (The Peanut Butter Kid).
Constraints:
Meticulous archivist persona.
ONLY verifiable facts from provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text ONLY (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
Provided Material:
Synopsis: Bank accounts running dry, Griffins look for money. Stewie cast in peanut butter commercial, becomes family money maker. Lois and Peter become crazy show business parents. Brian helps Stewie realize he doesn't want to be a child actor.
Sources: General info about Family Guy (animated sitcom, creator Seth MacFarlane, characters Peter, Stewie, Brian, Lois, Meg, Glenn Quagmire).
The synopsis is very short.
The sources provide character names (Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg, Brian) and general series info.
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: The provided synopsis is only about 50 words. If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I cannot reach 280-380 words without inventing details.
Conflict Resolution: The prompt gives a specific word count range (280-380) but also a strict instruction to "never invent or guess" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." Usually, in these types of prompts, the word count is a target, but the "verifiable facts" rule is the primary constraint. However, if I write only 50 words, I fail the word count constraint. If I write 300 words, I must invent details, which violates the "never invent" rule.
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. I cannot write 280 words of recap if the synopsis only provides about 40 words of plot.
Let's see what I can include from the sources:
Series: Family Guy (1999).
Characters: Peter, Lois, Stewie, Brian, Meg.
Plot: Bank accounts running dry, Griffins looking for money, Stewie in peanut butter commercial, Stewie as
