His last plan to make sure he won Hope (Kristian Alfonso) over backfired on him in so many horrifying ways thanks to Andre (Thaao Penghlis), but his loss won't keep Aiden (Daniel Cosgrove) from still plotting to find a new way to either get to Hope, ior get revenge on her on Days of Our Lives.

After Andre was responsible for the explosion that almost killed Hope and Rafe (Galen Gering), Hope ordered Aiden to stay as far away from her as possible, meaning his plans to reunite with her officially seem to be dead. However, Aiden is determined not to give up on getting what he wants, even if his focus now seems to be turning towards an idea of getting some vengeance on Hope for not returning his affections.

He won't be able to get to her by going after Rafe again since he was warned to stay away from him too, but he does still have another connection to Hope through their children, Ciara (Vivian Jovanni) and Chase (Jonathan McClendon). Thanks to his maneuvering things when he first came back to town and proved he was alive, Chase was taken out of jail for raping Ciara and instead placed at Shady Hills for mental health treatment and evaluation instead. Ciara later became a volunteer at the center, and has remained despite knowing Chase is a patient there.

Now, Aiden may decide to try and manipulate his son into causing more havoc by encouraging him to taunt Ciara, by possibly making claims of true affection and feelings for her, similar to the ones he said he had back when he was crushing on her, bullying Theo (Kyler Pettis), and then telling her she wanted to have sex with him before raping her. Knowing the move could haunt Ciara, and then, if she does confide in her mother, haunt Hope as well, Aiden could find his way to sneak back into Hope's life by catching her when her guard is down and pretending to try and save the day for her daughter, by keeping his son away from her.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
