Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S19E12 (Pick Yourself Up).
Constraints: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invented titles, names, dates, etc. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Source Material:
TMDB Synopsis: "In the immediate aftermath of shocking events at the clinic, the hospital goes on lockdown and the Grey Sloan doctors split up to save multiple lives; Maggie lands in hot water with Winston; Jules' roommate makes a surprise appearance."
Series Sources: General info about the show (doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, creator Shonda Rhimes, etc.).
Episode Title: Pick Yourself Up (S19E12).
Setting: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Context: Immediate aftermath of shocking events at the clinic.
Action 1: The hospital goes on lockdown.
Action 2: Grey Sloan doctors split up to save multiple lives.
Action 3: Maggie lands in hot water with Winston.
Action 4: Jules' roommate makes a surprise appearance.
The synopsis is very brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 45 words of actual plot information.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: I cannot reach 280-380 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden. If I follow the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I will fail the word count requirement. However, the instruction "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported" is the primary directive for an archivist. Inventing details to meet a word count would violate the core instruction.
Self-Correction: In these types of prompts, if the source material is insufficient to meet a length requirement, the "verifiable facts" rule takes precedence over the "word count" rule to avoid hallucination. However, I should try to expand on the context provided in the sources (the show's premise) to add substance without inventing plot points.
