Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S15E2 (Broken Together).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, numbers, or plot points.
Omit details not in the material.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: New doctors continue to shake up the hospital in typical Grey Sloan manner. Meredith bonds with a patient while Jackson struggles with the meaning behind recent experiences; and after making a life-changing decision, Jo forms an unexpected alliance.
Sources:
[1] Series follows personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

[3] Meredith Grey is a brilliant first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital (Note: This source describes the series generally/early on, but the synopsis is for S15E2).
[4] Creator: Shonda Rhimes.
[5] Drama centered on personal and professional lives of surgical interns and supervisors.
Episode: Season 15, Episode 2, "Broken Together".
Setting: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Plot Point 1: New doctors are shaking up the hospital.
Plot Point 2: Meredith bonds with a patient.
Plot Point 3: Jackson struggles with the meaning behind recent experiences.
Plot Point 4: Jo makes a life-changing decision and forms an unexpected alliance.
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 "guessing," which is strictly forbidden.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict Resolution: As an archivist, I must prioritize accuracy and the "never invent" rule. If the source material is insufficient to reach the word count without violating the "no guessing/no inventing" rule, I must provide the facts available. However, usually, in these prompts, the user wants me to expand. But the instructions say: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
