Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S14E15 (Old Scars, Future Hearts).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 5: Length must be 280-380 words.
Constraint 6: If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing.
Synopsis: "Meredith tries to learn more about Marie Cerone's history with her mother. Meanwhile, Jo is applying for fellowships around the country and it throws Alex for a loop; and Tom Koracick helps April acknowledge her crisis of faith."
Sources: General info about the show (Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, medical drama, follows doctors' lives).
Meredith is investigating Marie Cerone's history with her mother.
Jo is applying for fellowships across the country.
Jo's applications affect Alex.
Tom Koracick assists April in acknowledging a crisis of faith.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The prompt requires 280-380 words.
The instruction says: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict Check: If I stay concise (as instructed for sparse synopses), I will fail the word count requirement (280-380 words). If I meet the word count, I must invent details (which is forbidden).
Resolution: As an archivist, I cannot invent facts. I must follow the "never invent or guess" rule. However, the prompt asks for a specific word count. Usually, in these types of LLM prompts, the "never invent" rule is the highest priority for "meticulous" personas. If I cannot reach 280 words without inventing facts, I must provide the facts available.
Wait, let me look closer at the sources. Is there anything else? No.
The synopsis is only about 40 words.
If I write only the facts, the text will be about 40-50 words.
If I try to hit 280 words, I will be hallucinating.
Strategy: I will write the most professional, encyclopedic summary possible using the provided facts. I will acknowledge the constraints. Actually, I'll try to expand the prose style to be as formal and "archival" as possible, but I cannot add plot points.
