Episode recap
Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S15E1 ("With a Wonder and a Wild Desire").
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
No guessing or inventing plot points.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).

Synopsis:
Doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial vie for a new position.
Meredith is seemingly distracted and struggles to stay focused.
Maggie finds herself the keeper of a big secret.
Amelia and Owen try to figure out their relationship.
Jo and Alex's honeymoon doesn't go exactly as planned.
Sources:
Series follows personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Creator: Shonda Rhimes.
Meredith Grey is a character (though source [3] describes her as a first-year intern in a different context, the synopsis for S15E1 mentions her).
Other characters mentioned in synopsis: Maggie, Amelia, Owen, Jo, Alex.
The synopsis is very brief.
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, which violates the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "never invent" rules.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the provided material only contains about 50 words of actual plot content.
Strategy: I must adhere to the "Use only supplied facts" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise" instructions. However, I also have a word count instruction. Usually, in these prompts, the "Use only supplied facts" is the primary directive. If I cannot reach the word count without violating the "no inventing" rule, I must prioritize the "no inventing" rule.
Wait: Let me look closer at the sources.
Source [1], [2], [4], [5] confirm the setting: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Source [4] mentions creators/directors, but they aren't part of the episode recap content usually.
The synopsis is the only source for episode-specific plot.
