S15·E2 Bookie of the Year

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S15E2 (Bookie of the Year).
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.
SYNOPSIS:
Brian and Lois decide Chris should work out anger management issues by taking up a sport.
Chris becomes a star baseball pitcher.
Peter becomes a gambling father by betting on Chris's baseball games.
Stewie, Brian, and Frank Sinatra Jr. attempt to open an Italian restaurant.
SOURCES:
[1] General info about Family Guy.
[2] IMDb link.
[3] TV Guide info (27 seasons, Fox Network, etc.).
[4] Character descriptions (Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg).
[5] Voice actor info (Seth MacFarlane).
The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "never invent" rules.
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided by the sources (the nature of the show, the characters) to reach the word count while strictly adhering to the facts. However, the prompt says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This creates a conflict between the word count requirement and the "stay concise" instruction.
Refined Strategy: I will describe the characters involved using the provided source information (e.g., Peter is bumbling, Lois is long-suffering, Stewie is a brilliant but sadistic baby) to build the context of the episode's events. I will focus on the two main plotlines: Chris's baseball journey and the Italian restaurant venture.
