Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S18E4 ("With a Little Help from My Friends").
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
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: "Richard recruits Meredith and Bailey to help him launch a new program. Meanwhile, Addison’s patient has complications from a procedure, and Jo helps a woman who goes into premature labor."
Sources:
[1] General info: Grey's Anatomy (2005), TV-14, Drama, follows doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[2] Cast/Crew info: Follows doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[3] Prime Video: Mentions Meredith Grey as a first-year surgical intern (this is general series info, not specific to S18E4).
[4] FilmAffinity: Creator Shonda Rhimes, etc.
[5] IMDb: Info about a 2007 episode "Let the Truth Sting" (irrelevant to S18E4).
Richard recruits Meredith and Bailey to help launch a new program.
Addison's patient has complications from a procedure.
Jo helps a woman who goes into premature labor.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 35 words of actual plot information.
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 I only have 35 words of plot, I cannot reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Strategy: I will include the series context provided in the sources (Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, the nature of the show) to provide a professional, encyclopedic introduction, but I must be careful not to hallucinate. However, even with the series context, reaching 280 words using only the provided text is mathematically impossible without repetition or fluff, which violates "original, neutral, encyclopedic prose".
