Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S17E11 ("Sorry Doesn't Always Make It Right").
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
No guessing or inventing plot points.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
Synopsis:
Grey Sloan doctors are stuck in the middle of a fight between a newlywed couple injured in a car accident.
Jackson's generosity with COVID-positive patients goes too far.
Hayes works to rebuild Maggie's confidence and convince her to perform an extremely risky heart surgery.
Sources:
Series follows personal/professional lives of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Created by Shonda Rhimes.
Medical drama.
The synopsis is very brief.
Facts available:
1. Doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital are involved in a conflict between a newlywed couple who were injured in a car accident.
2. Jackson's generosity regarding COVID-positive patients is noted as going too far.
3. Hayes attempts to rebuild Maggie's confidence.
4. Hayes tries to convince Maggie to perform an extremely risky heart surgery.
Problem: The synopsis is extremely short (about 50 words). The user wants a 280-380 word recap.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: I cannot reach 280 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden by the prompt's primary instruction ("You write ONLY verifiable facts... You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess.").
Strategy: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word count request. If I try to hit 280 words using only these few facts, I will be repeating myself or adding fluff that violates the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "never invent" rules. However, I will try to expand the prose as much as possible using the provided context (the setting, the nature of the show) without adding new plot points.
Drafting Attempt 1 (Mental):
In the episode titled Sorry Doesn't Always Make It Right, the doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital deal with several medical and interpersonal situations. One central conflict involves a newlywed
