Days of Our Lives
Monday, May 9, 2016
Wow, terrific episode, as Daniel Cosgrove, as Aiden, taken center stage, and is 90% of the show all by himself. And we find out what happened via flashback storytelling, with long scenes. Wonderful.
Replay of Aiden walking in, Hope dropping the phone and saying NO! And we go to 6 mos. ago, Hope & Aiden are getting married, then are in bed. He gets up to get her surprise from the car, and then is dressed all in black, down in the darkened living room. He pulls of the hood, mutter I cannot do this, and opens the door to go back out. But an exact lookalike stands there, grinning at him. What the hell?? He takes a step back, the dopple ganger steps inside, with Aiden taking steps back, and out of the shadows comes Andre', plunging a needle in Aiden's neck, saying I knew you would be too weak to do it.
The clone helps Andre' carry Aiden to the trunk of a car, Andre closes the trunk, saying don't worry, we will take good care of Hope, and will take good care of you, too. The clone goes upstairs.
Aiden wakes up in a huge, huge sort of cage. One wall is solid, the other 3 are chain link, very tall. He is yelling, hollaring, And from a duct pours some sort of smoke or gas that knocks him out. He comes to, there is a bed there now, a tray of food. He won't eat it, yells he is on a hunger strike. Smoke pours again. When he comes to, he finds a dead parrot, wonders how it died, was it the gas. He decides to drink the water, eat something. A video begins to play, showing Hope unconscious. Aiden is crying, screaming, No, I love her, I would not kill her. The smoke pours again. When he comes to this time, he finds 3 notebooks, and wonders what he is supposed to do with them, write a novel?
Aiden constantly talks to himself, though he keeps that dead bird, and talks to it. We see him at various times, his beard is growing, he has begun to write in the notebooks, noting everything he has eaten every single day. When it is 115 days, he is talking more, wondering why they are keeping him alive, what happened to the clone, worried about Chase. Suddenly a newscaster's voice talking of Chase Jennings being charged with the brutal rape of a girl. Aiden doesn't believe it, Chase is good, kind, gentle. He gets really upset, realizing that Chase must think he killed Hope, doesn't know it wasn't him. It must have changed Chase. More time goes by, Aiden is telling the bird how he practices holding his breath. He doesn't know how long the smoke goes on, but he is getting better holding his breath.
The smoke begins again, he tells his bird friend, this is it. Here we go, lays on the bed, as he takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and is still. A guard arrives, opens the gate, brings in a tray of food, sets it down, turns to leave. Aiden is up in a flash, jumps on the guy's back, arm around his neck choking him. The guard is grunting, trying to shake Aiden off, to no avail. He goes limp, Aiden looks at the open gate. Takes that dead bird and is out of there.
It is a week later, Aiden is in a bathroom, scissors on the sink, he has shaved off the beard, cut his hair, I guess. He looks at his reflection in the mirror, have not seen you in such a long time. He is talking about the clone, wondering if he is still posing as Aiden, where is he, long gone, still hangin' around? He tells the dead parrot that he guesses that from on he (Aiden) has to fly solo, sets the bird tenderly on a shelf, puts on a cap, and is out of there. He jumps a fence, hitches a ride (he is on Rte. 69).
And then it is 2 hrs. ago, he is at Hope's front door, looking inside, wondering if Ciara is still there, he rattles the door handle, somehow manages to get inside. He is overwhelmed as he looks and walks around. He takes a double photo frame from the mantle, looks at the pics, puts in back. He is just wandering and goes upstairs.
And then it is Rafe & Hope at the door, saying goodnight. A replay of that whole scene &conversation. She goes inside, has changed clothes, gets the message from Ciara. Aiden appears, says her name, she drops the phone. He says he did not mean to startle her, or scare her, she is saying no, no, you are dead, stay away. He is trying to say no, that wasn't him, she screams, pushing him away, whipping out her gun. She has the phone, calls 911, he is pleading not to call police, trying to explain, she doesn't want to hear a word, keeps telling him to shut up, has him sit down. Police arrive, she opens the door, still holding the gun on Aiden, cops come in with pointed guns as well. They cuff Aiden, she tells them to video them reading him his rights down at the station, right after telling Aiden he has the right to remain silent, and she advises him to do so.
The cops leave with Aiden, Hope puts down her gun, nearly collapsing with a sob.

Aye aye aye "Cop Out Corday" 
:wink:
Explaining a believable story, 
Obviously did it over time so his hair could grow. Great outdoor scenes. However it really cheapens past returns like Kristen and Andre where they just showed up. :angry: Aiden still sucks that he worked with the Dimeras in the first place, 
but it was the writers that ruined him just to bring Bo back for minute. So I'm glad he is back and hopefully Chase is redeemed.
