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?
I JUST LOVE THIS SHOW BELIVE. WHY WOULD YOU TAKE IT OFF THE AIR.
PUT BACK ON.PLEASE.VIE
One of the few shows that i can sit and watch with my daughters and all of us enjoy…not many family viewing programmes around any more…shame.
In the UK we had our beloved Ripper Street cancelled by the BBC because the ratings couldn’t keep up with ridiculous entertainment and reality shows on rival channels. After a huge change.org campaign Ripper Street has been saved by Amazon Prime. It’s a shame that TV execs can’t see beyond the dollar signs and recognise that a good show with a discerning audience deserves the opportunity to grow and it can only grow if another season is commissioned. Come on NBC, Believe has built up quite a fan base here in the UK and we’ll be gutted to lose it… Read more »
I really hope for a second season, the show is magic, refreshing and for all family what’s wrong with it ? is it that has not extreme violence or sex, come on, is one of this good shows that make you spend a good time with your family.
I really hope it airs for a second season and beyond. I dont watch much TV but when my friend told me about this, I was all over it!!! It is really unique !
This was an awesome show that the whole family could watch. I am deeply saddend that it has been canceled. Not many shows left where adults and children can sit together and watch a movie.
I love to watch the show. It is unique and exciting, I hope that it stays on the air. I am so tired of hearing about the stupid things that are on TV.
I really enjoyed the show and the characters! Too bad it is cancelled with all the other garbage on the boob tube!
As usual, the TV execs can’t seem to get their acts together. This was a wonderful family show just getting off the ground and the powers that be seem to like to axe everything. I am at the point with my family, that any series that seems interesting should not be watched, simply because they cut them out before they can ever develop. Seems that the execs are only looking at the bottom line and what the ads will bring in.
I like this show should not be cancelled
NO, NO don’t cancel Believe. It’s refreshing to have a show that the family and I can watch together. Don’t cancel Believe!
please don’t cancel …… love this show!!
Keep it!
I love the show!! I watch it with both my granddaughters. It is something they really look forward to every week. Please reconsider…and don’t cancel it.
another ending to a great story line, I do not understand how they determine who gets cancelled and what gets renewed , do they go by what is the most stupid get s renewed ?
The last few eps will be airing beginning this Sunday May 25th! Everyone needs to watch it live if possible..and DVR it too.
