Doctors must scramble to save patients' lives.
Owen, Amelia, and Teddy confront a complicated situation.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: I cannot invent details to reach the word count. If I only have one sentence of plot, I cannot write 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the source material only provides about 35 words of actual plot content.
Strategy: I must provide the facts available. If I cannot reach the word count without inventing facts, I must prioritize the "never invent or guess" and "stay concise rather than guessing" instructions. However, I can expand on the context provided by the sources (the series itself) to provide a professional archivist's overview, though I must be careful not to attribute series-wide facts to this specific episode unless they are in the synopsis.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
This is a trap/test. If I write
