He has since learned that not only was his final appeal denied, but he is set to be executed for his sister’s murder in just three weeks' time. Now, knowing that Victor and Xander actually had nothing to do with setting him up for the crime, Ben may find himself making a desperate move to save his own life on the Thursday, Feb. 6 episode of “Days of Our Lives.”

For the entire year he has been in prison for Jordan’s (Chrishell Stause) murder, Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) and Ciara (Victoria Konefal) have been convinced that he was the innocent man Victor (John Aniston) and Xander (Paul Telfer) sent to prison on the NBC soap. However, following his final appeal being denied, they learned that Will (Chandler Massey) is actually the one they sent to prison in order to cover up the fact that Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) was the one responsible for the accident that killed Adrienne (Judi Evans). Since then, Ben also got the devastating news that he was scheduled to be executed by lethal injection in just three weeks' time.

Now, knowing that he and Ciara had been chasing the wrong leads for a year and he has limited time left, Ben may find himself giving in as his imprisoned father Clyde (James Reed) once again pressures him to make a prison escape.

“Clyde pushes Ben to escape with him from prison,” spoilers reveal.

Though Ben previously refused and wasn’t going to consider the option, knowing that he now has limited time left if he stays in jail may make the idea more appealing, even if it could only add to his troubles if he gets caught.

However, as he considers doing something drastic, Ciara is refusing to give up when it comes to finding out who really killed Jordan and set Ben up for the fall. While she knows the time she has is limited, she will quickly get to work trying to figure out the puzzle before it’s too late—and may come up with a new lead quicker than she expected.

“Ciara hits upon a new theory regarding Jordan’s killer,” spoilers state.

However, if she is wrong once again, she could wind up spoiling her last chance to save the man she loves and prove his innocence.

“Days of Our Lives” airs weekdays on NBC.
