"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

In the previous episode, Aiden blackmailed Hope into going out with him. Rafe overheard and confronted Aiden, ordering him to stay away from Hope. Unfazed, Aiden left but gave Hope a meaningful look. Later, Rafe revealed to Roman about Aiden’s threats. Roman also learned that Aiden knows he and Rafe are involved in covering up Stefano’s murder. Rafe told Roman about his plans: to come clean about the murder and save Hope. Roman offered confessing about his involvement.

Meanwhile, Hope went to the “lunch meeting” with Aiden, who prepared something romantic for her. However, she didn’t reacted as pleasantly as he expected. “There isn't enough wine in the world to make me forget what a fool I was to fall for you, Aiden,” she told him. He was a bit bothered but refused to give up. He asked Hope to dance, then started kissing her. She shoved him away. Hope said she won't let him rape her the way Chase raped Ciara.
