Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S24E12 (Lower G.I. Joe).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
If a detail is missing, omit it.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "A colonoscopy reveals Peter has a rare collectible toy action figure lodged in his intestine, but the reward for selling it causes a rift between him and the guys."
Sources:
[1] TMDB: Series title Family Guy (1999), TV-14, Animation and Comedy.

Episode Title: Lower G.I. Joe (from prompt).
Episode Number: S24E12 (from prompt).
Plot: Peter undergoes a colonoscopy. A rare collectible toy action figure is found lodged in his intestine. Selling the figure leads to a rift between Peter and "the guys."
Series Info: Family Guy is an animated comedy series created by Seth MacFarlane. It features the Griffin family, including Peter, Lois, Stewie, and Meg.
The synopsis is extremely brief (one sentence).
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: I cannot invent details to reach the word count. If I only use the provided facts, the recap will be about 40 words long.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict Resolution: As an archivist, I must follow the instruction "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."
If I follow the "verifiable facts only" rule, I cannot meet the 280-380 word count because there simply aren't enough facts in the provided text.
