S20·E174 Grief and Guilt

Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for Hollyoaks S20E174 (Grief and Guilt).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No inventing/guessing titles, names, dates, counts, awards, etc.
Constraint 3: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 5: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Constraint 6: If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing.
Synopsis: "Mercedes is on the warpath after discovering the truth about John Paul’s attack, and Grace rushes to Nana McQueen’s aid. Meanwhile, Tony has a proposition for Sinead and Nico is plagued with guilt when Dodger and Maxine decide to throw her a party."
Sources: General info about Hollyoaks (British soap, created by Phil Redmond, started 1995, set in Chester).
Mercedes discovers the truth about John Paul's attack and goes on the warpath.
Grace rushes to help Nana McQueen.
Tony makes a proposition for Sinead.
Nico feels guilt because Dodger and Maxine are planning a party for her.
The synopsis is extremely short (approx. 45 words).
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Constraint 5 says: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Constraint 1 says: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: I cannot reach 280 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden. I must prioritize the instruction to "Write ONLY verifiable facts" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" over the word count instruction, as the word count instruction would force me to violate the core "no invention" rule.
