Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S14E9 (1-800-799-7233).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No invented/guessed titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, viewership, or plot points.
Constraint 3: If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
Constraint 4: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 5: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "Jo finally faces her estranged, abusive husband Paul Stadler, while Grey Sloan continues to work with the FBI after a hacker has compromised the hospital’s computer system."
Source [1]: Series follows personal and professional lives of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Source [2]: Cast and crew info (no specific plot details for this episode).
Source [3]: Cast and crew info.
Source [4]: Mentions Meredith Grey, surgical intern, Seattle Grace Hospital (historical context).
Source [5]: Series is an American medical drama focusing on personal and professional lives of surgical interns, residents, and attendings at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital (formerly Seattle Grace/Seattle Grace Mercy West).
Jo faces her estranged, abusive husband Paul Stadler.
Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital is working with the FBI.
A hacker has compromised the hospital's computer system.
The synopsis is extremely brief. It only contains two main plot threads: Jo/Paul Stadler and the FBI/hacker situation.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding "fluff" that violates the "no inventing" rule.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the source material only provides about 35 words of actual plot.
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided by the sources (the nature of the show, the setting, the characters' roles) to reach the word count, but I cannot invent new plot points for this specific episode. I will describe the setting and the general premise of the series as provided in the sources to build the context, then detail the specific episode events.
