Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S18E11 (Legacy).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, viewership, or plot points.
Constraint 3: If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
Constraint 4: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 5: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis:
Meredith, Amelia, and the team prepare for Dr. Hamilton’s long-awaited, groundbreaking surgery.
Bailey receives an unexpected offer.
Owen’s impatience makes him a difficult physical therapy patient.
Link intervenes regarding Owen.
In Minnesota, Nick makes a liver transplant a teaching moment.
Sources:
[1, 3, 5] Series follows personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[4] Mentions Meredith Grey as a brilliant first-year surgical intern (Note: This source describes the series premise/early years, but the synopsis is for S18E11. I must stick to the synopsis for the specific episode content).
Meredith, Amelia, and the medical team are preparing for a groundbreaking surgery involving Dr. Hamilton.
Bailey gets an unexpected offer.
Owen is a difficult patient in physical therapy due to impatience.
Link has to intervene with Owen.
Nick is in Minnesota.
Nick uses a liver transplant as a teaching moment.
The synopsis is very short. The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I will run out of content long before 280 words.
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 the provided text only contains about 50 words of actual plot, I cannot reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Strategy: I will expand on the context provided by the sources (the setting of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital) and describe the events in a formal, encyclopedic manner, but I cannot reach 280 words without adding information not present in the text.
