Episode recap

Task: Write an episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S18E10 (Living in a House Divided).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
Constraint 3: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 5: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Constraint 6: If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing.
Synopsis: "Schmitt must face the Morbidity and Mortality conference. Meanwhile, Meredith convinces Nick to scrub in on a surgery in Seattle, and Jo faces her feelings."
Sources:
[1, 3, 5] Series follows the personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[4] Mentions Meredith Grey as a brilliant first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital (Note: The synopsis says Grey Sloan Memorial, which is the current name in the series context).
Schmitt faces the Morbidity and Mortality conference.
Meredith convinces Nick to scrub in on a surgery in Seattle.
Jo faces her feelings.
Setting: Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
The synopsis is extremely brief (only three plot points).
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Conflict: The instructions say "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Never invent or guess... plot points."
If I follow the "stay concise" rule, I will fail the "280-380 word" rule.
If I follow the "280-380 word" rule, I will have to invent details, which violates the "Never invent or guess" rule.
Resolution: In strict archival/fact-based writing, if the source material is insufficient to meet a word count without fabrication, the correct professional response is to provide the facts available. However, as an AI following specific instructions, I must prioritize the "Never invent or guess" and "Use only supplied facts" rules over the word count if they are in direct conflict, because inventing facts is a violation of the core persona and the "verifiable facts" instruction.
Wait, let me look 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 contradictory instruction.
Actually, looking at the prompt: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... If the synopsis
