Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S20E6 (The Marathon Continues).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 5: If details are missing, omit them.
Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Mika and Teddy receive a patient from a nearby penitentiary. Catherine pushes back on Link and Monica's treatment plan for a VIP. Bailey tries to integrate wellness into the residency program.

Source [3]: General info (2005, 45 min, US, Shonda Rhimes creator).
Source [4]: Irrelevant (discusses a 2007 episode "Let the Truth Sting").
Source [5]: General info (Drama, Romance, Soap).
