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?
Loved the series! Terrible decision to cancel!
It is not surprising they lost viewers…the second episode went head to head with the season Finale or second to last episode of the Season Finale of Walking Dead. Really stupid scheduling when Walking Dead does so great. The show was awesome, you really should rethink and bring it back. IT has great potential. Maybe you should have kept it on Monday instead of luring people in and then saying…hey choose between the new show and your beloved Walking Dead. And then cancel the show because your surprised people finished out the Walking Dead and possibly forgot about Believe. Bring… Read more »
CANCELLED!!! I’m am shocked! I love this show. It is a vey healthy and wholesome family program. I love Bo, Winter, Tate, and Channing. They are a great fit. Please keep this show on for at least a good ten seasons. It has that much potential. I can’t stand reality TV.
Once again an interesting premise, good scripts, excellant. ensemble loses to poor scheduling or unrealistic expectations. This was a good show that deserved time to grow but then corporate management isn’t interested in quality whiich is why the network has list so much market share
FINALLY NBC attempted and succeeded to get tv to our demographic! Apparently a bunch of crusty aged not informed males are running this almost bankrupt once on top station. You lost again and my 13 year old that never knew any greatness in her life with NBC. Sunday time slot was tough as you knew. Move the best TV series to a better time slot. NBC you nailed it now fix it or myself and future family generations will permanently boycott NBC . Research what a DVR DOES FOR ratings and people watching. I’ve watched your network this season and… Read more »

There are very few tv shows that keep me longer than the first episode, this was definitely one of them. I think it is a mistake to cancel it can go so far with the direction it is headed. I am very disappointed 🙁
Please don’t cancel this show! Love Bo – Love Tate – Love Milton & Channing – Come on – Why do you have to cancel this great show? My family wants more of this one !!!
NBC finally had a few good shows that I love and they cancel two of them, Believe and Dracula. Somebody please bring these two shows back. NBC is making a big mistake canceling these shows.
Does it help to let NBC know they are making a mistake by cancelling this show? TPTB have made a dumb decision – but it seems too late to get them to reconsider
