Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S15E19 (Silent All These Years).
Constraints: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invented titles, names, dates, etc. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. Neutral, encyclopedic prose. Plain text only.
Word Count Goal: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "When a trauma patient arrives at Grey Sloan, it forces Jo to confront her past. Meanwhile, Bailey and Ben have to talk to Tuck about dating."
Sources:
[1] Series follows personal/professional lives of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[2] American medical drama, debuted on ABC, March 27, 2005.
[3] Follows personal/professional lives of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[4] Mentions Meredith Grey (though the synopsis doesn't mention her, the source does).
[5] Creator: Shonda Rhimes.
The synopsis is extremely brief:
1. Trauma patient arrives at Grey Sloan.
2. Jo confronts her past due to the patient.
3. Bailey and Ben talk to Tuck about dating.
The user wants 280-380 words.
The provided synopsis only contains about 30 words of actual plot.
The instructions say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Use only supplied facts. Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present."
Conflict: The user asks for a 280-380 word recap, but the provided information is insufficient to reach that length without violating the "never invent or guess" and "use only supplied facts" rules.
If I write 30 words, I fail the word count constraint. If I write 300 words, I must invent details, which violates the core instruction of being a "meticulous television and film archivist" who "writes ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Decision: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent or guess" instructions over the word count request. However, I can expand on the context provided in the sources (the series itself) to add substance, but I cannot invent plot details for the specific episode.
Wait, looking at the instructions again: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This is a direct instruction for when the synopsis is short. The word count range (280-380) is a target, but the "stay concise" instruction for sparse synopses takes precedence to maintain accuracy.
