Days of Our Lives

Good episode, tho rather slow moving. Blanca comes into Club TBD, exchanging a lot of innocuous small talk with Dario.He thinks she came looking for Rafe, she denies. Mami arrives, the 2 women sit at a table, Dario brings them drink, and Mami starts the inquisition. Mami pesters about Rafe, Blanca notes he is in love with Hope, Mami thinks she is not the woman for him. She is worried, has called Rafe several times, he has not called back. She remembers that Blanca's sister has been trying to get hold of her, called Mami as she has left messages for Blana. Mami says something about some man looking for her.
Uh, oh, Blanca shrugs it off, but the minute Mami leaves the table, she calls her sister (Natalia) talks in Spanish (but we get sub titles), telling her that if Guellgermo comes looking for her, to say she has no idea where she is. She quickly hangs up, Mami notices she seems worried, but Blanca claims not, they go for a walk. Mami wants to know what is going on, something with this man, but Blanca is mum. Blanca returns to the club (Mami is calling Rafe again, leaving a message). Dario thinks his mother is just too nosy, wanting to everything about anyone, their past life, etc. Blanca admits she was in a relationship that did not end well, but won't give details. He fixes her another drink.
Shawn is down in the shattered basement, looking for Hope & Rafe, calling out to Mom, to no avail. He tells a couple of workers that when they finish looking around to get all the debris cleared out, so they can get a better look around. He calls Roman, fills him in, Roman comes to the house. No bodies found, so they figure maybe Hope & Rafe got away. Later, Shawn finds a piece of broken chain, burned, but from the looks of it, Rafe must have gotten free BEFORE the explosion. They are gung ho to get the debris cleared away.
Aiden sits in his trashed room, loud knocking on door, which persists despite his telling person to go away. He answers to find the ever smiling Andre with such delightful news. His nemesis will not longer be a problem. Aiden doesn't care, he lost the woman he loves. Ah, but ....well, Andre beats around the bush with his usual "what the heck does he mean" jabber, but he finally says Rafe is dead. Aiden is shocked, he did not say to kill him. Oh, but you said to "take care of him". What else would that mean. And then Andre, snidely, reveals that Hope is gone as well, having traced Rafe and arriving at a most inopportune time. Aiden wants full explanation, Andre relates of laying out clues to get Rafe to the house, he is knocked out, bound and chained, attached to a bomb. Oh, not to worry, nothing can be traced back to Andre, he made sure of that.
Aiden is not a happy camper, and when Andre merrily begins to take his leave, Aiden grabs him by the scruff of the neck, pulling him back, giving him a few punches, until Andre manages to smack Aiden on his windpipe. Aiden falls, grabbing his throad, Andre puts his foot on Aiden's hand, thus choking off air supply as he makes his usual threat, warnings, etc. finally taking his foot off, allowing Aiden to take a breath. Now Andre lets him know that the investigation of the explosion is going to lead straight to Aiden, who doesn't understand, mentions the insurance policy change was done electronically. Andre laughs, oh, yes, you are a clever lawyer...but of course, Aiden could not outthink Andre. It is all going to come back on you, unless you give me the respect I deserve. He leaves.
Down in the catacombs, Rafe is carrying an unconscious Hope into a room. It is dark, rather hazy/smoky or something. He lays her on a bed, she slips in and out of consciousness. She is injured, evidently worse than Rafe who hurt his leg. She finally comes to, and in their conversation, we learn that Hope saved them when she shot at Rafe's chains, freeing him. They noticed some loose floorboards, she remembers climbing down a ladder, but nothing more. That is when the bomb went off, he was on the ladder too, which is how he hurt his leg. They figure what is any DiMera house without tunnels as a way out. He brings her water, she begs him to go look for help, a way out. He doesn't want to leave her, but finally goes. When he returns, 2 ways out. One blocked by debris from explosion, the other by a thick, locked door. He came back to try and find something with which to pick the lock. Hope talks with lots of hesitation, obviously in pain. He bring her more water again, realizes she is burning up.
She passes out again, Rafe is unable to revive her.

Hope and Rafe's scenes were not that dramatic and wasn't that interesting. I was only curious how Rafe got out of his chains in time and they explained that during the show, then I was bored with their scenes.
