Source-grounded

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S18E2 (Some Kind of Tomorrow).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: If details are missing, omit them.
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 seeks advice from Amelia. Meanwhile, Richard is reenergized as he takes teaching to a new level at the hospital, and Winston treats a patient suffering from kidney failure."
Sources:
[1] Series follows personal/professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[2] Same as [1].
[3] Mentions Meredith Grey as a surgical intern (though this refers to the series overview/early years, not necessarily this specific episode, but the name Meredith is confirmed).
[4] Creator: Shonda Rhimes.
[5] Irrelevant (refers to a 2007 episode).
Meredith seeks advice from Amelia.
Richard is reenergized and takes teaching to a new level at the hospital.
Winston treats a patient with kidney failure.
Setting: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
The synopsis is extremely brief (only three main plot points).
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I will only have about 40 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 "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules.
However, I must try to expand using the context provided in the sources (the setting, the nature of the show) without inventing specific episode details.
Wait, the prompt says: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This instruction directly contradicts the "280-380 word" instruction if the synopsis is short.
Decision: I will write the most detailed version possible using the provided facts. Since the facts are extremely limited, a 280-word recap is impossible without
