LAS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The latest feel-good drama series on Prime Video, 'The Baxters,' delves into the themes of affection, camaraderie, and faith, with a family at its center.

It is based on the best-selling novels by Karen Kingsbury, the first three seasons of which are now available on Prime Video.

The first season centers on the complicated relationship between Kari Baxter (Ali Cobrin) and Ryan Taylor (Jake Allyn), as Kari decides to return to her cheating husband, Tim Jacobs (Brandon Hirsch).

However, after Tim's tragic death, the dynamics shift in the second season, with Kari and Ryan enjoying a happy and fulfilling relationship.

In Episode 9 of the show, Ryan's shocking revelation about his involvement with Kari's sister Ashley Baxter (Masey McLain) casts doubts about their future together.

In a previous episode of the season, Ashley confronted Kari, questioning whether Ryan was hiding something from her, hinting that something must have happened between the two of them.

The sixth episode of the series revealed that the lovebirds Ryan and Kari are bonding by working together to build the church memorial.

Ashley barged in while they were discussing their plans, wearing an apprehensive or uncomfortable expression on her face as she saw Ryan with Kari.

Not wanting to make things unpleasant, she hurriedly says goodbye and leaves the two alone.

Later, Kari and Ryan seemed to be enjoying their time together until Ryan decided to disclose a secret about himself and Ashley.

He explains to Kari that as she returned to Tim, he ran into Ashley on Thanksgiving, and the two ended up kissing, though he insists it was platonic and not serious.

Kari was taken aback by Ryan's stunning revelation, and she immediately begged him to leave, refusing to listen to his justifications.

Ryan leaves the premises, leaving Kari in shock at the miserable revelation.

'The Baxters' is now streaming on Prime Video.
