Episode recap
Task: Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S22E14 (Wrecking Ball).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, episode counts, awards, ratings, box-office, viewership, or plot points.
If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "A couple lands in the hospital with life-altering injuries after a wrecking ball destroys their home. Lucas and Simone struggle to support a young, terminally ill patient, and Richard hosts a prostate screening event."
SOURCES:
[1] Series title: Grey's Anatomy (2005). Setting: Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[2] Cast/crew info (no specific episode details).
[3] Series description.
[4] Mentions Meredith Grey as a first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital (Note: The synopsis refers to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, which is the current name in the series description).
[5] Directors/Stars (not relevant to the specific episode plot).
Episode Title: Wrecking Ball.
Episode Number: S22E14.
Plot Point 1: A couple arrives at the hospital with life-altering injuries caused by a wrecking ball destroying their home.
Plot Point 2: Lucas and Simone work to support a young, terminally ill patient.
Plot Point 3: Richard hosts a prostate screening event.
Setting: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
The synopsis is very short (about 40 words).
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: I cannot invent details to reach the word count. The instructions explicitly state: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "Never invent or guess... plot points."
Conflict: The user wants 280-380 words, but the provided text only contains enough information for about 40-50 words of factual content.
Resolution: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "Never invent or guess" instructions over the word count instruction if the word count cannot be met without violating the core truthfulness constraint. However, I will try to expand the prose as much as possible using the provided context (the setting and the nature of the show) without adding new plot points.
