Synopsis: "Winston and Ben fight to save Jo's life, while Teddy supports Link. Owen and Jules battle to save a young man, while Lucas forms an unexpected bond with a patient."
Sources: General info about Grey's Anatomy (set at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, follows doctors' lives, creator Shonda Rhimes, etc.).
Winston and Ben fight to save Jo's life.
Teddy supports Link.
Owen and Jules battle to save a young man.
Lucas forms an unexpected bond with a patient.
The synopsis is extremely short (approx. 35 words).
The target word count is 280-380 words.
Conflict: The instructions say "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" BUT also "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If I write 280 words based on a 35-word synopsis without adding any new information, I will be forced to repeat myself or use filler, which violates "original, neutral, encyclopedic prose". However, if I add information not in the text, I violate the primary rule.
Decision: I must strictly follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule. If the synopsis is sparse, I cannot reach 280 words without inventing details. However, the prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap. This is a contradiction in the prompt's own constraints.
Wait: Let me look at the sources again. Is there anything else? No.
Strategy: I will provide a recap based only on the facts. If I cannot reach the word count without violating the "no guessing/no inventing" rule, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule. However, I can expand on the context provided in the sources (the setting, the nature of the show) to provide a professional introduction, but I cannot
