'Escape at Dannemora' episode 4 points at Lyle Mitchell's flaw as he grabs at straws to save his failing marriage

With the 4th episode that aired December 9, we finally saw Lyle in a flawed light with seeds of indignance being sowed in his mind after getting repeatedly berated by his wife

In a casual chat with Eric Lange, he had mentioned how Escape at Dannemora's, and especially his, approach to his on-screen persona, Lyle Mitchell, was always from an angle where they allowed creative license to shed a flawed light on the character. The first few episodes didn't really allow viewers much insight into the aspect, but the fourth episode brought it out beautifully, despite Lyle pretty much looking like the perfect, ideal husband on screen.

let's establish a few things first though. The show - as has been written before - revolves around the infamous true incident at the Clinton Correctional Facility where inmates Richard Matt (Benicio del Toro) and David Sweat (Paul Dano) managed to dig out of the prison with the help of tools provided by prison employee Joyce 'Tilly' Mitchell (Patricia Arquette).
