Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S23E9 ("The Elle Word").
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
Constraint 3: If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
Constraint 4: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 5: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "When Quagmire starts dating a mystery woman, Peter, Joe and Cleveland go on a stakeout and discover her to be the librarian."
Sources:
[1] Series title: Family Guy (1999). Genre: Animation and Comedy. TV-14.
[2] Characters: Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg.
[3] Creators: Seth MacFarlane, David Zuckerman. Cast: Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Mila Kunis. Setting: Rhode Island town.
[4] Network: Fox Network. Seasons: 27 seasons.
[5] Voice actors: Seth MacFarlane voices Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, and Glenn Quagmire.
Episode Title: "The Elle Word" (from prompt).
Episode Number: S23E9 (from prompt).
Plot: Quagmire starts dating a mystery woman. Peter, Joe, and Cleveland conduct a stakeout. They discover the woman is the librarian.
The synopsis is extremely short (one sentence).
The sources provide general series information but nothing about the specific plot of S23E9 other than the synopsis provided in the prompt.
Problem: The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap, but the provided synopsis is only about 25 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: I cannot reach 280 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden. I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "Never invent or guess" instructions over the word count instruction if the word count requires invention. However, I can expand on the context of the series using the sources to provide a professional encyclopedic entry that includes the episode summary.
Drafting Content:
Identify the series: Family Guy, an American animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane and David Zuck
