Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Family Guy S24E13 (Friend's Best Man).
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 not in the material, omit it.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "Stewie becomes engaged to Rupert, but Brian is upset when he is not chosen as the best man."
Sources:
[1] TMDB: General info.
[2] IMDb: Cast/crew info.
[3] TV Guide: Series info (1999-2026, 27 seasons, Fox, Animation, Comedy, TV-14).
[4] TMDB Cast: Character descriptions (Peter, Lois, Stewie, Meg).
[5] FilmAffinity: Creator (Seth MacFarlane), running time (20 min), country (USA).
Episode Title: Friend's Best Man.
Episode Number: S24E13.
Plot: Stewie becomes engaged to Rupert. Brian is upset because he is not chosen as the best man.
Series Context: Family Guy is an animated comedy series created by Seth MacFarlane. It follows the adventures of the Griffin family.
The synopsis is extremely short: "Stewie becomes engaged to Rupert, but Brian is upset when he is not chosen as the best man."
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: There is almost no information to reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
If I write only what is in the synopsis, I will have about 25 words.
If I add series information (creator, genre, family names), I might get to 60-70 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the instructions say "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
As an archivist, I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden by the primary instruction ("You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES").
