S16·E6 Whistlin' Past the Graveyard

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S16E6 (Whistlin' Past the Graveyard).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: No dialogue, scene order, or plot events not in the text.
Constraint 4: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Constraint 5: Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Alex enlists Richard to help distract investors when he hears disturbing news about skeletons on the construction site grounds. Teddy tasks herself with creating original Halloween costumes for Allison and Leo.
Sources: Grey's Anatomy (2005) follows the personal and professional lives of a group of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Alex enlists Richard to help distract investors.
Reason: Alex hears disturbing news about skeletons on the construction site grounds.
Teddy tasks herself with creating original Halloween costumes for Allison and Leo.
Setting: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital (implied context of the series).
The provided synopsis is extremely brief (two sentences).
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Conflict: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding non-existent information.
Instruction Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Archivist Persona: A meticulous archivist would not hallucinate details to meet a word count. However, the prompt explicitly asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Strict Adherence: "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."
If I follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "omit rather than guess" rules, the output will be approximately 40 words.
If I follow the "280-380 word" rule, I must violate the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule.
In prompt engineering for "Strict Adherence" tasks, the negative constraints (don't invent, don't guess, only use provided facts) usually override the length constraint if the source material is insufficient. However, I should try to expand the prose stylistically within the bounds of the facts provided, though there is very little to expand.
