Topic: Episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S7E13 ("Don't Deceive Me (Please Don't Go)").

The synopsis is very short. The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I will struggle to reach 280 words without being repetitive or "guessing."
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided in the sources (the hospital name, the nature of the show) while strictly adhering to the synopsis. I cannot add details not in the text.
Wait: The prompt says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." But it also says "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap."
Conflict Resolution: If I follow "stay concise rather than guessing," I will fail the word count. If I follow the word count, I might have to repeat facts or use the series context.
Refined Strategy: I will use the series context (Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, medical drama, Shonda Rhimes) to build the prose, but the actual episode content is limited. I will describe the events of the episode as presented.
