Episode recap
Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S13E20 (In the Air Tonight).
Constraints: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invented titles, names, dates, etc. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Target Word Count: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "Meredith and Nathan have to confront their feelings when they are are stuck sitting next to each other on a plane."
SOURCES:
[1] Series title: Grey's Anatomy (2005). Setting: Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[2] Creator: Shonda Rhimes. Cast: Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd.
[3] Setting: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

Episode Title: In the Air Tonight.
Episode Number: Season 13, Episode 20.
Characters involved in the plot: Meredith and Nathan.
Plot point: Meredith and Nathan are stuck sitting next to each other on a plane and must confront their feelings.
The synopsis is extremely brief: "Meredith and Nathan have to confront their feelings when they are are stuck sitting next to each other on a plane."
The sources provide context about the show (medical drama, Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, creator Shonda Rhimes, cast members).
Problem: The user wants a 280-380 word recap. The provided synopsis only contains one sentence of actual plot.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." "Never invent or guess... plot points."
If I write 280-380 words based only on the provided text, I will be forced to repeat the same information or include irrelevant series-level information (like the hospital name or creator) to meet the word count. However, the instructions say "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Wait, the instruction "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap" contradicts "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" if the synopsis is only one sentence.
As an archivist, I cannot invent plot points to reach a word count. If I cannot reach the word count without violating the "only verifiable facts" rule, I must prioritize the "only verifiable facts
