Source-grounded

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S7E18 ("Song Beneath the Song").
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "A cataclysmic event leaves the doctors shaken; Callie, on the verge of a life-changing moment, starts imagining about the hospital and her friends."
SOURCES:
[1] Series title: Grey's Anatomy.
[2] Genre: American television medical drama. Debut: March 27, 2005 on ABC.
[4] Setting: Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[5] Character: Meredith Grey (surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital).
Episode Title: Song Beneath the Song.
Episode Number: Season 7, Episode 18.
Plot point 1: A cataclysmic event occurs, leaving the doctors shaken.
Plot point 2: Callie is on the verge of a life-changing moment.
Plot point 3: Callie starts imagining about the hospital and her friends.
Setting: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Context: The series follows the personal and professional lives of a group of doctors.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding "fluff" that violates the "verifiable facts" and "no guessing" rules.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict: The prompt asks for a specific word count (280-380) but the source material is only about 30 words of actual plot.
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided in the sources (the series overview, the hospital name, the nature of the show) to reach the word count while strictly adhering to the "no inventing" rule. I will describe the series context and then the specific episode details provided.
Drafting Content:
Identify the show: Grey's Anatomy.
