TV show description:
Bo (Johnny Sequoyah), a young girl, has had gifts she could neither fully understand nor control — like levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature, and to see the future. Now that she’s 10 years old, her powers have become stronger and the threat from malevolent forces — those that would use her abilities to control the world — has grown more dangerous.
With her life and future in jeopardy, Bo’s protector, Milton Winter (Delroy Lindo), turns to an unlikely source to keep her safe — Tate (Jake McLaughlin), a wrongfully imprisoned death row inmate who’s lost his will.
Tate and Bo begin an extraordinary journey, one in which trust must be earned. On the run and traveling from city to city, every place they stop and everyone they meet are changed forever. They have to keep going to stay one step ahead of the evil forces after Bo’s power.
Other characters include Channing (Jamie Chung), an associate of Winter’s; Skouras (Kyle MacLachlan), Winter’s former partner who’s after Bo for unknown reasons; and Corey (Arian Moayed).
Episode #12 — Second Chance
Dr. Skouras meets with Winter to warn him about Danni, his promising young rogue telepath who’s determined to destroy Bo. Danni has the power to kill Bo, but she’s a ticking time bomb. She will succumb to her illness before long, and she’ll be trying desperately to take down Bo on her way out. Winter reluctantly agrees to help Skouras, but there’s a problem: Winter has no idea where Bo and Tate are.
Meanwhile, Bo and Tate make their way across the country toward Mexico. Tate urges Bo to use her powers to procure a winning lottery ticket, ensuring a happy, comfortable future for years to come. Bo has a vision in which she sees her mother, Nina, who tells Bo to ask the convenience store cashier about her charm bracelet. Bo talks to the cashier, who turns out to be Danni’s former best friend. By touching the charm bracelet, Bo gains insight into Danni’s troubled past. She watches as Danni inadvertently kills her own brother after losing control of her powers.
Winter devises a plan to lure in Danni: he’ll to use Channing as live bait to draw Danni out. He hypnotizes Channing to implant a psychic signal that will attract Danni. The plan works perfectly. Danni arrives at the hideout and Skouras’ team fills the room with gas, but instead of succumbing to the chemicals, Danni charges out of the room in a rage and attacks Channing and Winter, torturing them to extract Bo’s location. Danni realizes that Winter has been monitoring Bo by tracking Tate’s cell phone. Now she can find and destroy Bo, thanks to Winter.
Bo and Tate visit Danni’s old home to learn more about their adversary. In Danni’s room, they discover evidence that Danni did, in fact, kill her brother. Bo feels that Danni deserves a second chance, but Tate doesn’t think she can be saved. Unfortunately, the conversation is cut short when Danni bursts into the room. Tate attempts to protect Bo, but Danni easily dispatches him by slamming him against a wall. Before Bo can react, Danni creates a havoc of wind and electrical energy, snatches Bo and locks Tate in the room.
Meanwhile, Skouras heads to the Orchestra facility to wipe the hard drives clean. If Danni’s actions cause the story to go public, the last thing he needs is a media storm around his top secret government project. Winter and Channing find Tate at Danni’s old home, and Winter has a good idea where Danni will be headed with Bo: Orchestra.
Just as Skouras finishes wiping the hard drives clean, Danni enters with Bo. Tate, Winter and Channing arrive at the facility moments later to find Bo and Skouras tied up, and Danni surprises them. Winter tries to talk Danni out of her plot, but she refuses to comply. Instead, she locks the doors, trapping them inside. After a failed attempt to break Danni’s psychic bond and force the doors open, Bo sees her mother, Nina, again. Nina tells Bo that she can save everyone, including Danni, with kindness. After the pep talk from Nina, Bo finds the strength to force the doors open.
Winter, Channing, Skouras, Tate and Bo charge into the courtyard to find Danni, more enraged than ever and surrounded by a tornado of fire. Just as she’s about to unleash her fury on the group, Bo walks through her fire tornado and tells Danni that her brother forgives her. It’s all Danni needed to hear. She extinguishes her flames and collapses to the ground, where she succumbs to her ailments and dies.
Bo has saved the day, but the celebration is short-lived. Winter tells Bo to leave with Tate immediately, before the police arrive. Sadly, this is the end of the line for Winter and Bo. If she’s to be safe, they can never see one another again. After Tate and Bo depart, Skouras tells Winter to flee as well. He’ll take the blame for this. Bo and Tate hit the road again en route to the quiet, peaceful life that Bo deserves. (courtesy NBC.)

What do you think? Do you like the Believe TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Believe was one of only 2 shows on TV that I made a point to watch. I definitely think it should not be canceled.
This is a great show – one that offers hope when so many shows focus on the negatives in life. It would be a shame to cancel it so quickly.
NBC don’t cancel it just change the day and time
I always had to record it die to other shows I really like this show put it on a dofferent night and you will find more people watching it.
Don’t cancel. This is one of the only shows I watch other then news.
Would be extremely dissapointed if the show is cancelled. I loved this show and would continue watching if it is renewed!
Should not be cancelled !!!!!
Don’t cancel. This is a great show.
I agree – Every damn show I like they cancel. I too have had it with the reality shows.
This is one of the best new shows of the season. Can’t believe it’s being cancelled and season one’s not even over yet! Been telling a lot of folks to check it out and they’re glad I did. What will it be replaced with — another mindless reality show or sitcom?
I’m beginning to understand why NBC can’t seem to get out of the ratings basement!
I love Believe. Everyone in my family watched it from my mother (62) to my son (12) its the only show everyone in my house watches my daughter records it and watches it a couple times a week. It is such a good show its is the only show I watch thats not on cable. NBC your making a big mistake by canceling believe. With out that show I will not watch NBC network again. I will also make it my mission to tell people not to watch.
Love this show. Would much rather watch Believe than another stupid reality show. Very dissapointed.
I agree with previous reviews….there’s SO much junk on television lately, why cancel the GOOD shows??!! This show was one of the only shows my daughter and I could enjoy together. It’s clean, no profanity, no scenes I need to mute or fast-forward through! And it glorifies the simple act of human kindness to boot! I think it’s a shame, the network didn’t think it was worth a 2nd season.
Believe is one of the best shows on TV. It is action packed and always leaves me eagerly anticipating the next episode. I don’t think the Nielsen ratings are capturing all the viewers. I have lots of friends who love the show too. Like me they DVR it either to skip the commercials or because there is a conflict. Surely there are many more viewers than the ratings indicate. This show as well as Crisis is way better than all the reality shows about cooking, dating, and survival skills. Those are crap shows and a waste of time. PLEASE bring… Read more »
Leave it to NBC. They do this all the time! When they have a good show that people really love to watch they go and cancel it. I am getting really fed up with NBC. I have had enough of reality television shows and prime time game shows. I’m glad that I have cable. I only watch a couple of NBC shows and now it looks like I won’t be watching any of them. Maybe another network will see what a gem Believe is and pick it up.
DON’T CANCEL BELIEVE!!! IT’S SUCH A GREAT SHOW!!!!! CONSIDERING ALL THE JUNK ON TV NOWADAYS THIS SHOW IS AWESOME!!!!
BRING IT BACK!!!!
Don’t cancel please
