S15·E16 Blood and Water

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S15E16 (Blood and Water).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 5: If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing.
Constraint 6: Word count requirement: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "Meredith finds herself having to side with either Alex or DeLuca during a difficult situation, but she doesn’t want to betray either of them. Meanwhile, Maggie reveals details about her personal life that cause a public stir, and Levi struggles with whether or not to tell his family about Nico."
Sources: General info about Grey's Anatomy (follows doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital).
Meredith is caught in a difficult situation where she must choose between siding with Alex or DeLuca. She does not want to betray either individual.
Maggie reveals personal life details that result in a public stir.
Levi struggles with the decision of whether to inform his family about Nico.
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 "stay concise rather than guessing" instructions.
Conflict Resolution: The prompt says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." However, it also gives a specific word count range (280-380). Usually, in these types of "strict archivist" prompts, the word count is a target, but the "only use provided facts" is the primary constraint. If I write 50 words, I am following the "stay concise" instruction but failing the "280-380 word" instruction. If I write 300 words, I am likely violating the "only use provided facts" and "never invent" instructions by adding filler.
Strategy: I will attempt to expand the existing facts into formal, encyclopedic sentences to see how far I can get without adding external information.
