Episode Title: "Between Two Lungs"
Episode Number: S22E3
Plot Point 1: A high-risk lung transplant pushes the surgical team to their limits.
Plot Point 2: Bailey manages a trauma patient whose treatment is uncertain/hangs in the balance.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The sources provide general series information (setting, cast, creator, genre).
The user wants a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains two sentences of plot. If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I cannot reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Conflict Resolution: The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap but also says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." In professional archiving, if the source material is insufficient to meet a word count, one does not invent facts. However, I can expand on the context provided by the sources (the series setting, the hospital, the nature of the show) to provide a professional introduction, but the actual recap of the episode will be limited by the synopsis.
