Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S10E4 (Puttin' on the Ritz).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
Constraint 3: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 5: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis:
Doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial throw a fundraising gala.
The gala becomes wildly competitive after Jackson makes a rash promise.
At the hospital, Bailey's patience is tested by several extremely difficult patients.
Shane and Stephanie handle an incredibly busy ER by themselves.
Alex reveals an emotional secret to Jo.
Sources:
Series follows personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Creator: Shonda Rhimes.
Show debuted on ABC in 2005.
The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 55 words of actual plot content.
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 cannot invent facts to meet a word count if the source material doesn't provide them. However, I must try to meet the user's length requirement if possible without violating the "no inventing" rule.
Wait, if I only have 55 words of plot, and I am forbidden from inventing anything, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff that isn't "verifiable facts."
Let's look at the sources again.
Series title: Grey's Anatomy.
Hospital: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Characters mentioned in synopsis: Jackson, Bailey, Shane, Stephanie, Alex, Jo.
Plot points: Fundraising gala (competitive due to Jackson's promise), Bailey dealing with difficult patients, Shane and Stephanie in a busy ER, Alex telling Jo an emotional secret.
Drafting Strategy: I will describe the setting and the context provided by the sources to build the prose, then detail the specific plot points from the synopsis. I will avoid "fluff" that isn't a fact, but I will use formal, encyclopedic language.
