The Better Sister ending explained: The shocking truth behind Adam's murder in Jessica Biel's thriller
When you dive into Prime Video's The Better Sister, get ready for a rollercoaster of drama, deceit, and one seriously tangled family web. The eight-episode thriller starring Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks hooks you with a gripping plot, two estranged sisters, Chloe and Nicky, reunited by the murder of Chloe's husband, Adam, who just so happens to be Nicky's ex and the father of her son Ethan. Talk about complicated family dinners.
The Better Sister ending explained
At first glance, Ethan looks like the prime suspect. Arrested and put on trial, the teen carries the weight of suspicion, his DNA on Adam's body, no less. But things are never that simple in this thriller. Turns out, Ethan witnessed Adam abusing Chloe and, in a panic, tried to cover for her by messing up the crime scene to make it look like a robbery. So, no, Ethan did not kill his dad, but he certainly played a dramatic part.
The plot thickens when Chloe takes the stand, revealing the dark secret of Adam's abusive nature. She even drags Jake, Adam's friend and her secret lover, into the mess, painting him as a possible culprit. Jake's falling out with the law firm and insider knowledge about shady dealings adds more fuel to the fire, shifting suspicion away from Ethan.
The Better Sister twist
Then, we get a huge twist: Adam framed Nicky in the past to strip her of custody of Ethan by drugging her and making her look like an unfit mother. Nicky's tragic backstory and fight for her son add emotional depth that hits hard.

The climax? A showdown where Nicky confronts Adam after learning about the abuse. In a physical altercation, she stabs him fatally. The sisters then hatch a plan to pin Adam's murder on Bill, a crooked law firm partner with plenty of shady secrets, a perfect scapegoat.
But the drama is not over. Jake's mysterious death on the beach in the finale leaves viewers with unanswered questions: was it suicide or foul play?
The Better Sister is a taut, emotional ride where nothing is as it seems, and family ties are tested to the breaking point.

Post its theatrical release on June 20, Sitaare Zameen Par will be available on YouTube on the basis of pay-per-view, something never done before for a Hindi film read more Actor and filmmaker Aamir Khan recently made a bold move for his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par as the heartwarming sports drama will not be released on any OTT platform like Netflix or Prime Video. The film, post its theatrical release on June 20, will be available on YouTube on the basis of pay-per-view, something never done before for a Hindi film. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD YouTube: The TV killer However, the Google online video-sharing platform has been turning out as a TV killer due to its anti-TV approach. During the traditional days, TV was a part of family viewing, where it was the pillar of entertainment with a particular content watched at a fixed time. However, YouTube has broken this pattern as one can watch the content of their preference based on convenience at any point in time. While in the USA, YouTube TV has become the third-largest subscriber. On the other hand, India has the largest YouTube audience in the world with 491 million users and 122 million daily users with an average of two-and-a-half hours every day. YouTube: A global phenomenon Right from news to entertainment, this infinite-scrolling platform gives access to a variety of content at the finger of your tip. Talking about Sitaare Zameen Par , a source said, 'Aamir doesn't want to release his films directly on streaming after their theatrical run, as it discourages viewers from watching movies on the big screen. It is also a reason why there is no streaming logo on the poster of Sitaare Zameen Par.' Directed by RS Prasanna, the movie also features Genelia D'Souza, Dolly Ahluwalia, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar in prominent roles. The lyrics are penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and the music is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The screenplay is written By Divy Nidhi Sharma. The film is produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, with Ravi Bhagchandka as the producer.
