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?
This is one of the best shows out and I cant believe that NBC would cancel a show like this. If anything change the time slots but don’t cancel it.
Are you kidding me?! This is a fantastic show, and needs to continue. NBC is making a terrible mistake cancelling this great show that my whole family loves.
I enjoy the show. Please don’t cancel the show.
Our family loves this show, as well as a lot of people I know. We were all so dissapointed to find out Believe was cancelled. This was a show my whole family watched to gether. I think there is a world of possibilities for this show
I agree wholeheartedly
Why do they always take off TV shows that are for the family? Me and my grandkids love to watch “BELIEVE”. Please stop and think about the families that are sitting there watching TV together!!
Please don’t cancel the show Believe it is so good. Waited to watch each episode.
NBC needs to stop taking show that people watch
I have eagerly awaited each episode as it came on with my family.. I have brought many friends to watch this series through Free TV on the internet. I also believe it would be a shame to cancel Let more people find it, everyone I know that has watched it, loves it.It is an uplifting family show that brings a touch of the supernatural, along with some hope and compassion for people who are different. I sincerely hope NBC reconsiders. I think we can do with less reality shows and more family dramas. Lassie was a little clairvoyant for an… Read more »
I could not agree more. This is a great family drama that all in my house enjoy and await the next episodes eagerly.
Give it one more season to prove itself, to all the fans it already has.
Please keep this show BELIEVE. It is great and has us hanging on the edge waiting on the next one…
So disappointed, this is a show my family watches together. You can’t tell how many eyes are on a show when we are all on one tv. I hope you will reconsider. Sunday night is fine with us, but we DVR it just in case we need to watch it on another night. Love this show, I don’t care what other shoe it is like, it is good!
Please don’t cancel Believe!!! There are SO MANY good-for-nothing “reality”shows and info-mercials on TV these days, that it is refreshing to have GOOD shows on like this one. Again, PLEASE!!! don’t cancel Believe.
I just saw this site and the cancellation notice. I was searching for episodes that I may have missed in Season 1. We had some bad storms come through and lost electricity at least one Sun. night. I am very disappointed to hear NBC has cancelled this show. I love the story line and cast. It has a positive focus of helping others – a story line not often seen on TV – and contains enough action to keep you intrigued. I agree with another comment that Sunday night is not a fair slot for a new show with all… Read more »
Not to be rude to the people that are upset NBC cancelled Believe, but when I saw the promos for this show the first thing that came to mind was a ripoff of the movie Firestarter (1984 adapted from Stephen King novel). Drew Barrymore played a little girl who is pyrokinetic and her parents where telepathic. A shadowy government agency called “The Shop” found out about her and want to quarantine and study her for the purpose of controlling her power. I realize there are some differences, but the premise remains the same a little girl with paranormal powers under… Read more »
My family likes and watches this show each week. Please renew.
I was so disappointed when I heard that the series was going to be canceled it has become one of my favorite show this season. I loved watching the relationship between father and daughter grow each episode.
WHY is my comment not being picked up? Am tired of typing–am 70 and have arthritis in my hands. My daughter, who is 39, also loves this show. I agree with others that Sunday night was not the right night for this show. We have always had to record it, as Sunday is not a good evening for tv. She (my daughter) watches television a lot, but I have been so disgusted by other network favorites being cancelled that most of my viewing is HGTV and DIY.
In short, this sucks.
Does NBC ever listen to these comments? Obviously not!
There was nothing wrong with your comments. Comments are moderated before they appear for the public to read to cut down the amount of spammy or abusive/rude comments on this site. It works pretty well but is not instantaneous. Hope that helps. 🙂
