Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S19E1 (Stewie's First Word).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).

Constraint 5: If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing.
TMDB Synopsis: Stewie finally says his first word, and it's a swear. When Lois is shunned by the other moms, she tries to figure out where Stewie could have possibly learned it.
Source [1]: Series title: Family Guy (1999). Genre: Animation and Comedy. Rating: TV-14.
Source [3]: Series dates: 1999-2026. Network: Fox Network.
Source [4]: Characters: Peter (bumbling), Lois (long-suffering), Stewie (brilliant but sadistic baby), Meg (oldest).
Source [5]: Creator: Seth MacFarlane. Running time: 20 min.
The synopsis is extremely brief: Stewie says a swear word as his first word. Lois is shunned by other moms. Lois tries to find the source.
The sources provide context about the characters (Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg) and the show (Family Guy, Fox, animation/comedy).
Problem: The synopsis is very short. The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap. However, the instruction also says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict Resolution: I cannot invent plot points to reach 280 words. If I only use the provided facts, the recap will be very short. However, I must attempt to meet the word count if possible without violating the "no guessing" rule.
Wait, the prompt says: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This is a contradictory instruction. Usually, in these types of prompts, if the source material is insufficient to reach the word count, the "stay concise" instruction takes precedence to avoid hallucination. But I will try to expand using the character descriptions provided in the sources to provide context.
Drafting Content:
