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 a disgrace to my world I hate it being cancelled this is the second show you’ve canced I love the first was the cape now this why should I even bother if you cancel all my favorite shows all your going to be is a lonly channel that know one watches the only reason nobody likes this show is because somebody needs a girl friend or boyfriend and be on tv ( bachelor and bachelorette) so talk to the people who created that to cancel its a pointless useless show I personally don’t care for so if that… Read more »
This is just a feel good show. It is my 12 yr old daughter’s favorite show!! What a great premise.
Can’t believe they cancelled believe 🙁 we love it!
Can not believe it was cancelled!!! Why not a different time slot or something. I will admit this show was not about sex, sex, and more sex or stupid people hunting sex. I was a good clean show about something special. Bad decision NBC.
No I do not think it should have been canceled. This show is about something special, clean and evokes wanting to protect the child. It has good acting and a good story plots, It is sad this day and time that a show like this is canceled and yet so called funny shows stay on, it’s like if it is not about sex, sex and more sex or stupid people trying to find sex it is kept forever. I am so disappointed. Why not on a different time slot NBC?
the show is pure magic and fun. Well written and more than it’s share of drama.
NBC should have promoted the show more than give up on one of their better offerings.
This is a really good show. It needs to stay on the air.
This was one of the better shows on.I guess if there is no sex a show has no chance.
With all the other crap on TV and they chose to cancel the one new show that I actually liked. Shame on you NBC. CBS has got you beat by far.
First new series in a while that is actually good, clean, fun and entertaining ! Am very sorry this was cancelled. J J Abrams is always surprising – would like to see more of his work.
Seriously NBC! Instead of cancelling give it a chance on a different day or time. Love this show!
Love this show.if u have to end it please end it right.but please don’t end.
Wow! Another good show cancelled! What crap will it be replaced with? I am so disappointed with every good TV show I start watching getting the boot and being left with nothing worth while left. What is the networks problem?
This show is cancelled but Two Broke Girls is renewed. Don’t get it.
Very disappointed with NBC’s cancelling this show. Compared to some of the other garbage that is on NBC, this show was a gem. The whole family could watch it without nudes, swearing, or much else offensive. Why didn’t they at least try a different time slot?
Hope another network picks it up or NBC decides to bring it back when some of their not-so-great shows fail. Loved this show and looked forward to it every week. Many of my friends would watch it on demand if they missed it. BAD decision, NBC
