Synopsis: "When Jackson throws a party to celebrate Catherine’s surgery and those who worked to save her, literally nothing goes as planned. Meanwhile, Helen pays Alex and Jo a surprise visit."
Sources:

[4] Creator: Shonda Rhimes.
[5] Genre: Drama, Romance, Soap.
Episode Title: We Didn't Start the Fire.
Episode Number: Season 15, Episode 15.
Main Plot 1: Jackson throws a party to celebrate Catherine's surgery and the people who worked to save her. The party does not go as planned.
Main Plot 2: Helen pays Alex and Jo a surprise visit.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I will only have about 40 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict: The user wants a long recap (280-380 words) but provides almost no information. If I follow the "only verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates "original, neutral, encyclopedic prose".
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided by the sources (the series itself) to reach the word count, while strictly adhering to the synopsis for the episode-specific details. I cannot invent details about the party or the visit.
Contextual Information from Sources:
Series: Grey's Anatomy.
Genre: Drama, romance, soap.
Setting: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in Seattle.
Premise: Follows the personal and professional lives
