IDK if that was his intention, but IMO that's how he opened the scene up with rape. It could also give more insight into how Aiden is perceived in her eyes, as you have suggested. But, you can also skip that scene and go to the Morello too to stop Aiden, which as a reader, the bonus scene becomes irrelevant at that point.I don't think it was L&P's intention to portray a rape. He even introduced that old cliched element of the recipient 'enjoying' the experience. I saw it as a scene in which Sophia could get an idea of her own likely fate, if she continued with the tasks & provide a definite justification, in her mind, for seeking help from the Mafia. What could possibly commend this course of action otherwise?
If the bonus scene was to play a proper role in Sophia's glimpse into her future with Aiden, I think it shouldn't have been a skippable scene and should have been part of the 4th task.
