Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S19E7 ("I'll Follow the Sun").

No guessing or inventing plot points.

Provided Material:
Synopsis: Meredith's last day at Grey Sloan Memorial. Doctors plan a goodbye surprise. Nick confronts her about their relationship's future. Interns compete to scrub in on Maggie and Winston's partial heart transplant. Richard asks Teddy an important question.
Sources: General series info (Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Meredith Grey, etc.).
Meredith's last day at Grey Sloan Memorial.
Doctors plan a goodbye surprise for Meredith.
Nick confronts Meredith regarding the future of their relationship.
Interns compete to scrub in on a procedure.
The procedure is a groundbreaking partial heart transplant performed by Maggie and Winston.
Richard asks Teddy an important question.
The synopsis is very brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without being repetitive or "fluffing" it, which violates the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "only verifiable facts" rules.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the source material only provides about 50 words of actual plot.
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided by the sources (the setting of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, the nature of the show) to reach the word count, but I cannot invent new plot points. However, the prompt says "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap". If I can't reach the word count without violating the "no guessing/no inventing" rule, I have a dilemma.
Wait: I can describe the setting and the characters mentioned in the synopsis using the context from the sources.
Source 1/3/5: The show follows the personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Source 4: Meredith Grey is a character.
Let's try to structure it:
1. Introduction to the episode context (Meredith's departure from Grey Sloan Memorial).
