As I envision it, Sophia sleeping with Dylan wouldn't literally be the last thing in the game, but it would be the climax (no pun intended), and in stories the climax actually comes sometime around the penultimate episode. Other things can happen after the climax of the narrative, so there does need to be some time to wrap the story up. Sophia may have sex with other characters in this time, and that may include additional encounters with Dylan. As I see it, that first time having full intercourse with Dylan will happen sometime between playable day 24 and 27. But the build up will really begin to gather momentum sometime after day 17 (or thereabouts), so maybe the first blowjob is on day 19. Once they do have full intercourse, there needs to be time afterwards for the ramifications to sink in, and for Sophia to make a decision on how she wants to move forward with this new relationship.If we're right about Dylan being the last to have their chance with Sophia, then I'm not sure there'll be time within the game for Patricia to do anything about it, besides perhaps give Sophia a place to stay. Unless there's an AWAM 2.
But I completely agree with the idea of what you're saying. If anything, I think Patricia is the one with Sophia's best interest at heart on the Filthy route, which is why I incorporate her into my walkthrough even if it's focused on the Ellie route. Patricia is encouraging Sophia to go out and have fun, but not to cheat. Patricia and Carl have established rules, which allow her to fool around with boys like Jason and Haru, and Carl doesn't need to know or care, and as long as no dick but his enters Patricia's pussy, he doesn't consider it cheating. He's safe knowing adultery isn't going on.
Which is entirely different from the relationship Sophia has with Liam. I still think (while I don't really have the evidence to support it) that the reason Liam has a gambling addiction is the fear that Sophia will leave him for a richer man like Carl. Or one of the Morellos. The reason he neglects her and works long hours is to earn the money so she wont leave him. Which ironically might be the reason she leaves him.
So with that in mind, any attempted course correction from Patricia would need to be structure around this. It could be one of those things where it's an ongoing, deepening, worry for Patricia. Maybe something like Patricia begins to get worried starting around playable day 17. Then, by playable day 20 she's deeply worried, and her first attempts at course correction take place. By day 23, she see's that things are really spinning out of control and makes an urgent appeal to Sophia to stop. By this point maybe Patricia has ceased any affair she's having with Sophia. I can see one final attempt from Patricia post Sophia/Dylan's first time having sex, where she gives Sophia an ultimatum to either stop and salvage something of her life, or Patricia and Carl have to cut her out of their lives.
