Drafting Content:
In the episode titled New History, Owen recruits Dr. Teddy Altman to serve as the new cardiothoracic surgeon. Dr. Altman is a former Iraqi veteran. Following her recruitment, Cristina questions the abilities of Dr. Altman within the E.R. setting, as well as the nature of the relationship between Dr. Altman and Owen.

Additionally, Izzie returns to Seattle Grace. She is accompanied by her high school mentor, who is seeking treatment for dementia.

Meanwhile, Richard experiences the effects of his responsibilities following the merger, as these duties are taking a toll on him.
Word Count Check:
The draft above is very short (approx 100 words). The prompt requires 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis is extremely sparse. I cannot invent details to reach the word count. The instructions say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict Resolution:
The user asks for 280-380 words, but the source material only provides about 50-60 words of actual plot content. If I follow the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "Write ONLY verifiable facts," I cannot reach 280 words without violating the core instruction of not inventing facts.
Strategy:
I will write as much as possible using the provided facts
