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?
I am so disappointed that this show has been cancelled! I loved this show! Please bring it back.
I can’t believe this show has been cancelled I love it. It is one of my favorite shows I wish they would renew it.
Thats just ridiculous. Guess there wasnt enough sex,violence,drugs,or profanity in it to keep it around. Heaven forbid if there actually was a decent tv show that a family could enjoy together, we wouldnt want that now. Theres nothing to influence the children to do bad things. Really i thought nbc was better than that. You know My tv stays on channel 8 Period, never changes. If theres a good show on another network i just dont see it cause i love nbc.Guess you could say im a loyal NBC fan. However, if another network was to pick up the show… Read more »
Agreed Mandy. This is a good show and I hope someone picks it up.
I can’t believe this is cancelled! That really makes me mad! I only have a few favorite shows I look forward to watching and this is one of the top. I’m so tired of good shows being cancelled and stupid vulgar ones stay on the air for years. How frustrating!
I am sorry to see you cancelled this show . I would not miss a show . this is one you should keep and maybe take a look at some of the other stuff you air .
i agree 100% if they want to cean out their closet theres plenty of other shows that should be cancelled before this one.
Please renew this very special tv series. It contains all the elements for a hit series. Why would you want to tank a fine tv show. Perhaps you could locate a more favorable time slot. There is an interesting story line, great actors, a full range of emotions and a feel good ending each week. I always looked forward to the next episode. I have seen all of the episodes! I want to believe that you can rescue Believe. Thank you…Sharon.
Ditto Sharon.
To me this show was excellent, it reminds me of myself when I have this special gift on knowing thing that others can’t but, allows me to help people.
this show is very special for the true special kids out there please don’t cancel.
I, too, agree with everyone here that has commented. You finally look forward to watching a good show with a good moral to each show and then you hear it is on the list to be cancelled. Please reconsider and ‘re-sign for a second season.
I love this show. Sad to hear it is cancelled. Such a great story line.
This is a great show with wonderful acting and interesting plots. Keep the thought provoking show on!!! We love Bo.
I am extremely disappointed this show, which has become one of my favorites, has been cancelled. You might want to rethink this NBC>>>
I love this show, I sat down to watch the finale tonight and couldn’t find it on the TV guide. So checking the computer and it said cancelled. I cannot believe it such a good show. Very disappointed. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL IT….
There is one more show left which airs Sunday June 15th..the series finale. Many people who don’t want it cancelled are writing to NBC on their site and also posting on Twitter various hashtags…such as #bringbackbelieve or #donotcancelBelieve….and goign on NBC’s page to do so. There are petitions as well on change.org. It couldn’t hurt to try. I knwo I have.
It gets tiresome when a good new show captivates you like a really good book, then you hear its getting cancelled, it makes you not want to even watch new shows because you will just get disappointed down the line. I can care less about the Voice or American idol or any show with this concept, its been played out, why waste your time with these type of shows on tv when you can go on UTube and see all those acts with no commercials.
I really like this show. I didn’t know how they would continue the story line, but I am very happy with it. Please do not cancel.
We loved this show. It was a decent show that we could all watch together. I usually like Reality, My boyfriend likes crime/investigations types, and daughters like anything tween. This was one show we all enjoyed together that wasnt about a talent show. Disappointing they didnt give it longer to catch on and find its fan base, becasue I would venture to guess, that once you watch an episode or two – you would be hooked.
My husband, my 12 year old granddaughter and I loved this show. We watched it together every week. I agree with the other comments about it being a decent show that we could watch together. It’s not like so many of the other shows where it seems the more violence the better. Those shows got renewed and this show is cancelled?
