Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S6E11 (Blink).

Constraint Check: The synopsis is very short. The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 50 words of plot. If I strictly follow "Use only supplied facts" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or inventing details.
Instructional Conflict: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap" vs "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Resolution: In professional archiving, if the source material is insufficient to meet a word count, the archivist must prioritize accuracy over length. However, as an AI following specific instructions, I must try to expand the context using the Sources provided (which include series-level info) while adhering
