Episode recap

Task: Write an episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S22E6 (When I Crash).
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.
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count: 280-380 words.
Provided Material:
Synopsis: Grey Sloan takes in patients following a catastrophic bus accident. Teddy and Owen have an awkward encounter, and Richard tests Bailey's patience.
Sources: General series info (Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, doctors, Shonda Rhimes as creator, etc.).
Episode Title: When I Crash (from user prompt, though I should check if it's in the synopsis/sources. The prompt says "Write a... recap for Grey's Anatomy S22E6 (When I Crash)". The synopsis provided is for this episode).
Plot Point 1: Grey Sloan takes in patients following a catastrophic bus accident.
Plot Point 2: Teddy and Owen have an awkward encounter.
Plot Point 3: Richard tests Bailey's patience.
Series Context: Follows the personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
The synopsis is extremely brief: "Grey Sloan takes in patients following a catastrophic bus accident. Teddy and Owen have an awkward encounter, and Richard tests Bailey's patience."
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: I cannot invent details. If I only use the provided facts, I will only have about 30 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict Resolution: The instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" takes precedence over the word count instruction if the word count cannot be met without violating the "never invent or guess" rule. However, I should try to expand using the series information provided in the sources to provide context, but I cannot invent plot details for the specific episode.
Drafting attempt 1 (Mental):
In the Grey's Anatomy episode titled When I Crash, Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital manages the influx of patients resulting from a catastrophic bus accident. During the episode, Teddy and Owen experience an awkward encounter. Additionally, Richard tests the patience of Bailey. The series follows the personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
