Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S16E10 (Help Me Through the Night (II)).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, or plot points.
No guessing.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
Synopsis:
Event: Car crash at Joe's Bar.
Rescue efforts: Led by Station 19 firefighters.
Doctors' action: Grey Sloan doctors work through the night to save the lives of their colleagues.
Amelia: Worries about sharing her pregnancy revelation with Link.
Owen and Teddy: Take a big step.
Bailey: Deals with grief over her recent loss.
Crossover info: Starts on Station 19 S03E01 "I Know This Bar (I)".
Sources:
Series follows personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
The synopsis is quite short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 60-70 words of actual plot content.
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 cannot invent facts to meet a word count. If I only have 60 words of facts, I cannot reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule. However, I must try to expand the prose using the available facts in a professional, encyclopedic manner.
Wait, if I strictly follow "never invent or guess" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess," I cannot reach 280 words.
Strategy: I will write as much as possible using the provided facts, maintaining an encyclopedic tone. I will describe the context provided (the hospital setting, the nature of the series) to add substance without inventing plot.
