Episode recap
Task: Write an episode recap for Family Guy S15E15 ("Cop and a Half-Wit").
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
No guessing or inventing plot points.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
Provided Material:
Synopsis: Peter helps Joe out with several crime cases, but when Joe tries to take all the credit, Peter gets extremely angry. Meanwhile, Brian convinces Stewie to join a football team and panics when he gets a concussion.
Sources: General info about Family Guy (creator Seth MacFarlane, characters Peter, Stewie, Brian, Lois, Meg, Glenn Quagmire, etc.).

The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided synopsis, I will only have about 45-50 words. I cannot invent details to reach the 280-380 word count without violating the core instruction: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: The user wants 280-380 words, but the source material only provides enough information for a very short paragraph.
Strategy: I must prioritize the instruction "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without violating the "no inventing" rule. However, I can expand on the context provided by the sources (the nature of the show, the characters involved) to add substance, but I must be careful not to invent plot points.
Wait, looking at the sources again:
Source [3] mentions the Griffin family: Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg.
Source [5] mentions Seth MacFarlane voices Peter, Stewie, Brian, and Glenn Quagmire.
Source [4] mentions the show is an animated comedy on the Fox Network.
