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?
Bad decision NBC. I love Believe.
This is a well written and acted show! I love the dynamics between Bo and Tate and look forward to watching the show every Sunday. There was another show on a competing channel I watched until Believe came on, and I switched. The point is alot of people have switched to this intriguing show. Please rethink your decision because I Believe!
Please reconsider cancelling the show Believe, it hasn’t had a chance and it is a good show. It will be far better then any comedy show you replace this show with.
It is a good show and needs a second chance. Thank you.
I hate to see Believe cancelled, it wasn’t given much of a chance. I think it far better then any of the comedy shows that will replace this show. Please rethink cancelling this terrific show. Thank you.
They always cancel the shows that I like. Before they’ve even given them a chance.
I don’t watch a lot of regular TV, but I love this show. They need to give it a chance.
We really enjoy this show and are VERY disappointed it has been cancelled. It is a quality show with no swearing or sexual content…a wholesome show that should be renewed. There are numerous shows on NBC that should be cancelled instead! If Networks want to be respected for what they put on TV and want continued viewership, then they need to truly recognize public opinion!!
I’m so upset. I look forward to this show.
Why do they keep canceling all the great shows and keep the bad ones going.
If you cancel bBelieve, I won’t be watching some stupid reality show in its place!!!
It was becoming too predictable. I started watching it ‘on demand’ and watched something else in that time slot. But I do wish they had aired a finale show.
I don’t think tonights ep was predictable at all. And next week is a finale episode…the series finale. Tonights ep was fantastic.
This is crazy. The executives don’t even give a show a real chance anymore. Believe is a great show as was several others that were cancled without being given a real shot. I’m so over this bull crap.
i like this show need to give it little time
I am totally upset over this show being canceled. Like other posts on here it’s such a feel good show and can’t wait to see what happens kinda thing. I love this show. But you’ll cancel it to put put BS reality or a stupid show that’s not at all interesting. I sure hope you reconsider and maybe think of the fans for once instead of the big bucks you already have made.
Dear NBC Executives, As one of the three major networks I must tell you that my disappointment is HUGE in your cancellation of Believe. Now days with all the other networks I watch , i.e.( AMC, A&E, FX, TNT, USA, Discovery channel, The Learning channel and The History channel) The only show that is a MUST WATCH on your station is Believe, I can honestly say if you are not willing to retract the cancel of my beloved show or at the very least reconsider this decision I will no longer even EVER tune in to ANY of your shows… Read more »
AMEN to that
I am afraid I can not write on social media what I am really thinking right now; but I will follow along with similar comments already posted by others with my pure disgust that finally a great feeling, intriguing, thoughtful and upliftingly can’t wait until next week to tune in and see what happens next show would be cancelled. So many shows on TV I do not waste my time to watch or even care to watch, but this is a favorite in our house and honestly we get upset when award shows or specials knock it off for a… Read more »
