Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S7E15 (Golden Hour).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, viewership, or plot points.
Omit details not in the material.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Meredith wants to prove she is Chief Resident material. She learns anything can happen in an hour when she runs the ER for a night. Bailey sneaks off with Eli and gets into mischief. Adele (the Chief's wife) shows up as an ER patient, which surprises everyone.
Sources:
[1] Series follows personal/professional lives of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[2] American medical drama on ABC.
[3] Meredith Grey is the daughter of Ellis Grey.
[4] Meredith is a surgical intern (Note: The synopsis says she is looking to prove she is Chief Resident material, which implies a different stage of training, but I must stick to the synopsis for the specific episode content).
[5] Creator: Shonda Rhimes.
The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 50-60 words of actual plot information.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict: I cannot reach 280 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden ("You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess").
Resolution: I must prioritize the "never invent or guess" and "omit it rather than guess" instructions over the word count instruction if the source material does not support the length. However, usually, in these prompts, the user wants me to expand using the provided context. But there is no context to expand.
Wait, let me re-read. If I write only what is in the synopsis, I will be at ~50 words. If I try to hit 280, I will violate the "never invent" rule.
Let's see if I can use the series info to pad it.
Series info: Grey's Anatomy is an American television medical drama that follows the personal and professional lives of a group of doctors at Seattle'
