S6·E5 Invasion

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S6E5 (Invasion).
Constraints: Use only verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invented titles, names, dates, etc. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Target Word Count: 280-380 words.
Synopsis:
Residents of Seattle Grace and Mercy West compete for surgeries and careers.
Day one of the hospital merger begins.
Arizona stands by an enraged Callie.
Mr. Torres (Callie's father) employs a priest to help convince Callie to date men.
Izzie experiences the brunt of her new surgical competition.
Sources:
[1, 3, 5] Series follows personal and professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[4] Meredith Grey is a brilliant first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. (Note: This source describes the series premise/early years, but the synopsis is for S6E5).
The synopsis is quite short.
Facts available:
1. The episode involves the first day of a hospital merger.
2. Residents from Seattle Grace and Mercy West are vying for surgeries and their careers.
3. Callie is enraged.
4. Arizona stands by Callie.
5. Mr. Torres, Callie's father, uses a priest to try to convince Callie to date men.
6. Izzie faces the brunt of new surgical competition.
Problem: The synopsis is very brief. To reach 280-380 words without inventing facts, I must be extremely careful. If I simply state the facts, I will only have about 50-60 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user wants 280-380 words, but the instructions say "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "Never invent or guess... plot points."
Resolution: I cannot meet the 280-380 word count requirement without violating the "never invent or guess" and "only verifiable facts" rules. In professional archiving, accuracy trumps word count. However, I will try to expand the prose stylistically (encyclopedic/neutral) without adding new information, but even then, the information provided is insufficient for a 280-word count.
Wait, let me re-read the synopsis carefully.
