Synopsis: Owen and Teddy deal with the surprise arrival of Megan Hunt, who knows nothing about their situation. Catherine preps for her first surgery back on a war veteran who is not emotionally prepared for his procedure. Meredith worries about DeLuca operating alone with Richard.
Sources:

[2] Debut: ABC, March 27, 2005.

Episode: S15E20 "The Whole Package".
Plot Point 1: Owen and Teddy face the unexpected arrival of Megan Hunt. Megan is unaware of their current situation.

Plot Point 3: Meredith expresses concern regarding DeLuca operating alone with Richard.
The synopsis is very short. The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I will only have about 50-60 words.
Instruction Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict: The prompt asks for a specific word count (280-380) but also strictly forbids inventing facts and tells me to stay concise if the synopsis is sparse.
Resolution: As an archivist, I cannot invent facts to hit a word count. However, I can expand on the context provided by the sources (the setting, the series premise) to provide a professional, encyclopedic introduction, but I must not invent episode-specific details.
