Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S17E13 (Good as Hell).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, numbers, or plot points.
Omit details not in the material.
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose, plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: "Amidst the need for more surgeons, Jo tries to convince Bailey to let her switch specialties. Elsewhere, Link accuses Amelia of overstepping while he is treating a patient remotely, and Winston comes up with an out-of-the-box idea."
Sources:
[1] General info: Grey's Anatomy (2005), TV-14, Drama.
[2] General info: Meredith Grey is a surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital.
[3] General info: Creator Shonda Rhimes.
[4] Irrelevant (discusses a 2007 episode "Let the Truth Sting").
[5] General info: Drama, Romance, Soap.
Episode: S17E13 (Good as Hell).
Plot Point 1: There is a need for more surgeons.
Plot Point 2: Jo attempts to convince Bailey to allow her to switch specialties.
Plot Point 3: Link accuses Amelia of overstepping while Link is treating a patient remotely.
Plot Point 4: Winston develops an out-of-the-box idea.
The synopsis is very brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 45 words of actual plot content.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." AND "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict: I cannot meet the 280-380 word count without inventing facts, which is strictly forbidden. I must prioritize the "Never invent or guess" and "Use only supplied facts" instructions over the word count if the source material is insufficient. However, I will try to expand on the context provided by the sources (the series setting) to add substance without violating the "no invention" rule.
Context from sources:
Series: Grey's Anatomy.
Setting: Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital (or Seattle Grace Hospital per source [2]).
Genre: Drama, Romance,
