"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

On Friday, Rafe informed Shawn that Aiden bought an old house previously owned by the DiMera family just outside Salem. Rafe also shared with Shawn about Aiden’s visits to Andre in jail, using an alias. Shawn shared Rafe’s suspicions and said he’d get the blood sample from the marriage license to see if it matches Aiden’s DNA. Later, Rafe went to the square and somebody was seen following him. When he arrived at the old DiMera house, he received a call from Shawn, who informed him that the DNA matches Aiden's. This meant that Aiden married Hope. They agreed that they need to tell Hope as soon as possible to save her from the man they called a lunatic. After Rafe got off the phone, he was hit on the head and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
