Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S20E3 (Walk on the Ocean).
Constraints: Use only verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invented details, no guessing, no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. Plain text only.
Target Word Count: 280-380 words.
Source Material:
Synopsis: Meredith and Amelia work to secure funds for their research. Amelia finds herself at odds with a new attending. Levi runs into someone from his past. Owen gives Winston advice. Lucas ditches Mika, forcing her to treat a patient alone.
Sources [1-5]: General series info (Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Shonda Rhimes as creator, etc.).
Meredith and Amelia work to secure research funds.
Amelia is at odds with a new attending.

Owen gives advice to Winston.
Lucas ditches Mika.
Mika has to treat a patient alone because of Lucas.
The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff/guessing, which is strictly forbidden by the instructions ("If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing").
Conflict Resolution: The prompt says "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap" BUT also says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Use only supplied facts."
If I follow the "Use only supplied facts" and "stay concise" rules, I will fail the word count requirement. If I follow the word count requirement, I will violate the "Use only supplied facts" and "never invent or guess" rules.
In professional archiving/fact-based writing, accuracy and adherence to source material take precedence over arbitrary word counts. However, I must try to expand using the available information without inventing anything.
Available info:
Series: Grey's Anatomy.
Setting: Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
