Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, episode counts, awards, ratings, box-office, viewership, or plot points.
Omit details not in the material.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.

Synopsis: "Diane Pierce returns to Grey Sloan, but Maggie is still in the dark as to why she’s really there. Owen and Amelia hash out their problems as they work a trauma case together, and Bailey tries to mend her relationship with Richard."

If the provided text only allows for about 50 words of factual content, I cannot reach 280 words without violating the core instruction of being a "meticulous archivist" who "never invents or guesses."
Wait: Let me re-read. "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... Use only supplied facts."
