S8·E12 Hope for the Hopeless

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Grey's Anatomy S8E12 (Hope for the Hopeless).
Constraints: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, box-office, or plot points. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Word Count Target: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "Richard performs a monumental surgery in his career; Derek and Lexie attempt to work miracles for a patient with an inoperable tumor"
SOURCES:
[1] Series title: Grey's Anatomy (2005).
[2] Genre: American television medical drama. Debut: March 27, 2005 on ABC.
[4] Setting: Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
[5] Character: Meredith Grey (brilliant first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital).
Richard performs a monumental surgery in his career.
Derek and Lexie attempt to work miracles for a patient with an inoperable tumor.
Setting: Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Series: Grey's Anatomy.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The prompt requires 280-380 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user wants 280-380 words, but the provided information is only two sentences long. If I follow the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I cannot reach 280 words without inventing facts, which is strictly forbidden by "You never invent or guess... plot points."
If I write only what is provided, the text will be about 30 words.
If I try to reach 280 words, I will violate the "never invent or guess" and "only verifiable facts" rules.
The instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" takes precedence over the word count request because the word count request asks for a length that is impossible to achieve using only the provided facts without violating the core directive of being a meticulous archivist who only uses provided material.
Wait, let me re-read. Is there anything else in the sources?
Source [5] mentions Meredith Grey is a first-year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital.
Source [4] says the show follows the personal and professional lives of a group of doctors at Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Source [2] says it is an American television medical drama.
