"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

In the previous episode, Hope went to pick up Ciara and bring her to court for a hearing. Ciara was clearly anxious about the hearing’s outcome. She also expressed her concern about Aiden’s determination to free Chase from prison. Hope reassured her daughter, promising that Chase won’t be released.

Aiden paid a visit to his son, who’s behind bars. Aiden explained what happened to him, from getting into debt to being held in captive by Stefano. Their discussion turned to Chase’s rape charges. Chase said he really committed the crime, and that he lost his way because he wasn’t sure who his father was. Aiden said they could still make it up to the people they’ve hurt, and vowed to get Chase out of jail. Later, Andre called Aiden to remind him about their deal. Andre demanded Aiden to free him from prison, or else he’d tell Hope that Aiden’s lying.
