Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S19E13 (Cowgirls Don't Cry).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, or plot points.
Omit details not in the material.
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose, plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "A bull rider shows up at Grey Sloan with severe injuries, forcing Maggie, Amelia, Owen and Blue to examine their own biases. Elsewhere, Simone can’t find anyone to be her maid of honor, and Mika takes drastic measures to pay down her student debt."
SOURCES:
[1] Overview: Follows personal/professional lives of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[2] Cast & Crew: Same as [1].
[3] Prime Video: Mentions Meredith Grey, surgical intern, Seattle Grace Hospital (Note: Synopsis says Grey Sloan, which is the current name).
[4] FilmAffinity: Creator Shonda Rhimes.
[5] IMDB: Irrelevant (different episode).
Episode Title: Cowgirls Don't Cry (S19E13).
Main Plot: A bull rider arrives at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital with severe injuries. This situation requires Maggie, Amelia, Owen, and Blue to examine their own biases.
Subplot 1: Simone is unable to find anyone to serve as her maid of honor.
Subplot 2: Mika takes drastic measures in an effort to pay down student debt.
The synopsis is very short.
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 is insufficient to reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule, I must prioritize the "only verifiable facts" rule. However, usually, in these prompts, the user wants the text to be within that range. But if I invent details, I fail the primary instruction.
Let's look at the synopsis again.
Bull rider with severe injuries.
Maggie, Amelia,
