Episode Title: Sympathy for the Parents (from prompt).
Series: Grey's Anatomy.

Characters mentioned in synopsis: Alex, Aaron (Alex's younger brother), Bailey.
Plot points:
Aaron arrives at Seattle Grace-Mercy West with a hernia.

The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without being extremely repetitive or adding "fluff" that violates the "no inventing" rule.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The prompt asks for 280-380 words but also says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Resolution: As an archivist, I must prioritize accuracy and the "no inventing" rule. However, I need to try to meet the length if possible by expanding on the context provided in the sources (the setting, the nature of the show) without inventing new plot details.
