Synopsis:
Meredith questions Link's laid-back approach regarding a patient's treatment.
Maggie worries that Richard, Jackson, and Catherine haven't come to terms with Catherine's diagnosis.
Deluca steps up in the O.R. when Owen faces a setback.
Sources:
Series follows personal/professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Creator: Shonda Rhimes.
Genre: American television medical drama.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The sources provide context about the show (setting, creator, genre) but nothing about the specific episode's plot beyond the synopsis.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 45 words of plot information. If I strictly follow the instruction "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I cannot reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Self-Correction/Strategy: I must write what is there. If I cannot reach 280 words because the source material is insufficient, I have a conflict between the word count instruction and the "only verifiable facts" instruction. Usually, in these prompts, the "only verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions take precedence over the word count, as inventing facts to hit a word count is a direct violation of the core persona. However, I will try to expand on the context provided by the sources (the setting, the nature of the show) to add substance, but I cannot invent plot points.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This is a contradiction. If I stay concise, I won't hit 280 words. If I hit 280 words, I must guess or repeat myself.
