Source-grounded

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S22E3 (Between Two Lungs).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented 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 high-risk lung transplant pushes the surgical team to their limits. Meanwhile, Bailey juggles a trauma patient whose treatment hangs in the balance."
SOURCES:
[1] Series title: Grey's Anatomy (2005). Setting: Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[2] Character: Meredith Grey (brilliant first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital).
[3] Directors: Rob Corn, Debbie Allen. Stars: Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, James Pickens Jr., Chandra Wilson.
[4] Creator: Shonda Rhimes. Running time: 45 min.
[5] Genre: Drama, Romance, Soap. Focus: Personal and professional lives of surgical interns and supervisors.
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.
