'Escape at Dannemora': A dangerous love triangle between Tilly, Sweat, and Matt and how upcoming episodes could play out

The question here is, how far would Patricia Arquette's Tilly - trapped in a dead town, and a dead marriage - go just to feel some moiety of fulfillment through sex?

Ben Stiller-directed prison break thriller, 'Escape at Dannemora,' premiered on Showtime on Sunday, but despite the story being based on the real-life incident of Clinton Correctional Facility, the one strand which stood out in the episode was the gritty sex scene between its two character - Joyce 'Tilly' Mitchell and David Sweat.

Playing the role of Tilly is Oscar-winner actress Patricia Arquette - completely unrecognizable as the demure but crafty in-charge of the prison's tailor shop - where Paul Dano's character, Sweat, works.

The two, along with fellow inmate and tailor shop worker Richard Matt (Benicio del Toro), hatch the most meticulous prison escape plan ever, which they surprisingly successfully execute. And if you could blanket all of that into a story, it sounds somewhat like a sinister love triangle turned prison break, and which brings us to the most important question - how do they pan the idea out in the upcoming episodes of 'Escape at Dannemora'?
