Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S18E15 (Put It to the Test).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, episode counts, awards, ratings, box-office, or viewership numbers.
No guessing plot points.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Bailey is on edge because an accreditation council is reviewing the residency program at Grey Sloan. Richard sets his own assessment for the same day. Nick returns to Seattle to perform a first-of-its-kind operation with Meredith.
Source [1]: General overview of the series (doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital).
Source [2]: Cast/Crew info (general overview).
Source [3]: Mentions Meredith Grey as a brilliant first-year surgical intern (though this refers to the series start, not necessarily this specific episode, but Meredith is a character).
Source [4]: Production details (Creator: Shonda Rhimes, etc.).
Source [5]: Information about a different episode ("Let the Truth Sting" from 2007). Ignore this for the S18E15 recap.
Bailey is on edge due to an accreditation council's visit to Grey Sloan to review the residency program.
Richard conducts his own assessment on the same day.
Nick returns to Seattle.
Nick and Meredith perform a first-of-its-kind operation.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I will only have about 40-50 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 material does not support 280 words, I cannot fulfill the word count without violating the "never invent or guess" rule. However, I must try to expand the prose using the available information in a professional, encyclopedic manner.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... Use only supplied facts. Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present. If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
