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?
DON’T CANCEL.IT! We love it and so does our family we record it to not miss an episode. The casting is amazing and the story is so comforting.
Renewed one go my favorite shows
Another stupid mistake from THE NO-BODY CARES NETWORK ( A.K.A) NBC… Other than THE VOICE ..THIS STATION IS NOT IN THE RUNNING FOR ANYTHING..YOU GET QUALITY SHOWS LIKE THIS ONE WITH GOOD PRODUCERS/WRITERS/ ACTORS. That appeal to a Target audience That NBC HAS NEVER HAD SINCE THE 80’S WITH FAMILY TIES & THE COSBY SHOW. WHICH M.J.FOX Recently Bashed the Network on ABCs The View which aired May 2014. Is nothing but the truth. Whomever was responsible for pulling the plug on this & other shows which they have never given a chance needs to be LET GO!
I really like Believe. I am surprised it is being cancelled. NBC did not allow enough time for the characters to develop. There are several hit shows that started off slow. Also it does not help to get a large fan base when the show has large gaps. Like three weeks with no show. I am very disappointed. I hope it can get picked up online.
I am really sorry to hear this has been cancelled. I have enjoyed the show and look forward to it being on each week. Let’s cancel some of those reality shows instead.
i love this show its so adventurous!
I love Believe–look forward to it every week, much better than Resurrection. Bo and the concept of the show are fascinating. Why would you possibly cancel this show with such a limited opportunity to develop the audience it deserves? I’m so disgusted with network TV.
this show does have a feel good feeling and the next show would only be the 12th show if they were only making that many then they shoudnt of had made it. people always think if its not a boyfriend and girlfriend show then its not good enough every thing is not about sex this is a good PURE show.
I hope they save this show this was one of the few network shows i really liked
NBC: When I see you pay Howard Stern, that pathetic, ego-manical, utterly no-talent, ugly creep, $20 million for 10 episodes of “America’s Got Talent”, your pathetic, low-brow, lowest-common-denominator show, and then I see you you cancel “Believe”, I know even more certainly than ever that NBC – how should I put this politely? – isn’t worth watching. In the not-so-long run, this is just going to accelerate the exodus of the American viewing public from your network. For my part, good riddance to you.
i want believe to keep on nbc its something that i like to look forward to and if they a stop it at 12 episodes thats stupid if they stop there then why did they come up with it
Just can’t accept that you are canceling Believe. It is one of the best shows you have had in your lineup. Please reconsider.
WOW ANOTHER STUPID MISTAKE TO TAKE A SHOW OF THE AIR I KNOW YOU REALIZE THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER STUPID SHOWS THAT GE T A SECOND AND THIRD THAT DONT MAKE ANY SENSE . GIVE BELIEVE MORE EPISODES FOR THE ONES THAT LIKE IT STOP THINKING DOLLAR VALUE
I agree with Randy and many of you. I don’t understand why the Networks are getting rid of the great shows. They air them for one season and then cancel them. Every show I watch, most of them are being cancelled…after their first season. Why??? There are so many people that watch the same shows I do and are furious. It’s getting many people mad and the networks don’t seem to care. Please stop cancelling these great shows!!!
Why do you cancel the wrong shows and bring on shows that aren’t worth watching?
Believe is an awesome show!
