S8·E4 Schnapps on the Rocks

Episode recap

Task: Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap for 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way S8E4 (Schnapps on the Rocks).
Constraints: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invention, no guessing, no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points. Plain text only.
Target word count: 280-380 words.
Input Synopsis: Niles learns his marriage to Matilda may be annulled; Vittorio humiliates Jessy in front of his friends; Michelle pushes Felix to put her before his family; Andi braces herself to meet Nigel's lover; Jon and Ally question their future together.
Input Sources: General series info (TLC, reality TV, Americans moving to foreign countries).
Niles: Marriage to Matilda may be annulled.
Vittorio: Humiliates Jessy in front of his friends.
Michelle: Pushes Felix to put her before his family.
Andi: Braces herself to meet Nigel's lover.
Jon and Ally: Question their future together.
The synopsis is very 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, which violates the "no inventing" and "neutral, encyclopedic prose" rules.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the provided content only supports about 50-60 words of factual content.
Strategy: I must prioritize the "verifiable facts" and "do not invent" instructions over the word count if the source material is insufficient. However, I will try to expand the prose as much as possible using the provided facts in a formal, encyclopedic manner without adding new information.

Drafting attempt 1 (Mental):
In the fourth episode of season eight of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, titled Schnapps on the Rocks, several cast members face significant personal challenges. Niles receives information that his marriage to Matilda may be subject to annulment. Meanwhile, Vittorio causes Jessy humiliation in the presence of his friends. Michelle engages in a conflict with Felix, pushing him to prioritize her over his family members. Andi prepares herself for the prospect of meeting Nigel's lover. Finally, Jon and Ally engage in discussions regarding their future together.

Word count check: This is about 90 words. I cannot reach 280 words without violating the core instruction: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material
