S15·E11 The Winner Takes It All

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S15E11 ("The Winner Takes It All").
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown (no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Amelia and Koracick tackle a daunting surgery on Catherine while Richard and Jackson hope for the best. Meanwhile, Richard urges Meredith to visit her father, Thatcher, before his time is up.
Sources:
[1] Grey's Anatomy (2005) is a TV-14 drama.
[2] Debuted on ABC on March 27, 2005.
[3] Follows personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[4] Mentions Meredith Grey as a first-year surgical intern (though this is general series info, not specific to the episode).
[5] Creator: Shonda Rhimes.
Amelia and Koracick perform a daunting surgery on Catherine.
Richard and Jackson hope for the best regarding the surgery.
Richard urges Meredith to visit her father, Thatcher, before his time is up.
The synopsis is extremely 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 or guess" 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 40 words of plot.
Strategy: I must follow the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" over the word count instruction if the word count would require inventing facts. However, usually, in these prompts, the user wants me to expand using the context provided. But there is no context provided other than the names.
Wait: I am an archivist. I must write a recap. If the source material is insufficient to meet the word count without violating the "no invention" rule, I must prioritize the "no invention" rule.
Actually:
