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?
PLEASE do NOT cancel this show!!! It has a solid premise – that of helping others – with an interesting twist. I watched every episode, faithfully, something I cannot say about any other show. There is a LOT more to tell about Bo and her father. It deserves another chance!
I do not think Believe should be canceled – I love the show.
Never heard of this show before. Came across it while searching for something to watch. Love it! Give it more time and promote it more before you give up on it.
My 10 year old daughter and I love this show!!!
This show is great! If you cancel this show big mistake on your part and our loss.
Really? I’ve complained here, there and everywhere!! The networks are dying. NBC is off ‘my’ grid. I’ll stick with satellite and CBS til CBS goes to the dogs!
This is my favorite show and it pisses me off they cancelled it! Try it on a new night instead you big jerks!!!!
No they should not cancel this show. This is ashame. This is why many are not watching regular tv and going to cable, netflix or videos.
This was an enjoyablenshow. Better then Resurrection and Under the Dome.
Love this show
NBC is making a huge mistake cancelling this show. It is well written, intelligent and the characters are complex and represent the best and worst in us. Bring it back PLEASE!!
I am very disappointed. I never missed an episode. One of the few shows I watched on NBC…now I’ll be watching one less.
I love this show It is one of the few shows that a family can watch and I think it is a shame if you don’t. this country needs more shows that family’s can watch, and it would be a shame
e if you don’t renue there contract
It is insulting to me how the major networks are behaving lately. Have we become so shallow and oblivious to them that they think we can’t handle a show with substance over fluff? It’s not just NBC but I have always tended to hold them to a higher standard than the others. Shows like Believe and Revolution give us a look into the different possibilities our world could bring us. They also show us the nobility of the human spirit. Reality TV has it’s place but the networks shove so much of it down our throats, it seems they think… Read more »
I really liked Believe. I was very disappointed when I learned it was cancelled. Bo is always helping others and has powers that are evolving. I was looking foreward to Bo’s and Tate’s adventures on their own.
If possible, please bring it back or move it to another network.
Best show I love it my favorite show. Put the show on another night, or a different time, I can’t believe the show is over great family show.
