Sources:
Series title: Grey's Anatomy.
Setting: Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital (Note: Synopsis says Seattle Grace, Sources say Grey Sloan. I should stick to the synopsis for episode-specific details or use the general series context. Actually, the synopsis says "Seattle Grace residents" and "Seattle Grace Hospital" in source [4]. Source [1], [3], and [5] say "Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital". I will use the names provided in the context of the episode description).
Characters mentioned in synopsis: Izzie, Cristina, Arizona, Bailey, Alex.
Drafting - Attempt 1:
In the episode titled I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watchin' Me, Izzie returns to work at the hospital several weeks after experiencing a near-death event. This return occurs amidst tension following an announcement from the Chief. The residents at Seattle Grace are nervous regarding the possibility of layoffs and are competing to survive the upcoming cuts. As part of this competition, Cristina attempts to work in the pediatrics department alongside Arizona. Meanwhile, Bailey and Alex manage a patient whose case is already complex. This medical situation becomes further complicated by the presence of the patient's son, who is schizophrenic.
Word Count Check: The draft above is very short (approx 110 words). The prompt requires 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis is extremely sparse. 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 inventing information.
