LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In contrast to the first season of 'The Baxters', which focused mostly on Ali Cobrin (Kari Baxter), the second season of the show is more focused on other family members.
An official adaptation of Karen Kingsbury's best-selling novels, the series explores themes such as love, faith, betrayal, and family connection.
The series follows John Baxter (Ted McGinley) and Elizabeth Baxter (Roma Downey), who are parents to five adult children.
From the beginning of the series, it was clear that the Baxters are firm believers in God and hold a high regard for their faith.
In the sixth episode of season 2, titled 'Allure', the family was startled when an unexpected shooting incident occurred during their Sunday church.
