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 think this one should be renewed it always has a good story and I would rather see a reality show cancelled instead of this one.
I love this show I don’t miss an episode it’s one your family can watch ( I guess that will be a reason to cancel ) it seems when there is a good family show you cancel them and renew crappy ones. I really would like to have this one renewed I think it’s a keeper
Enjoyed watching something so positive and uplifting. Liked how Bo is changing the world one person at a time. Would rather see a reality show cancelled instead of this one.
I absolutely love this show , my hubby and i looked forward to watching this ever week
i think it’s stupid to cancel it .
I love the Show. I need a second chance in a different time slot and day of the week
Luv luv luv believe definitely should not be cancelled.
So much other garbage on the air this should be a keeper.
Can’t Believe …………..your canceling Believe !
Such a shame -perfect family show, please reconsider !!!!
My family and I thought a lot about this series and it has been one of the better series on TV in a long time. It’s way better than most of the ridiculous reality shows, and you’re able to watch it with the whole family, unlike most of those reality shows. Please keep it on the air.
I don’t watch much TV but this is one of my favorites. So sad if this show has really been cancelled.

Please don’t cancel this show. Too much crap on tv now a days and this is a good show.
Why even start new series??? Every GOOD one gets canceled, Believe & Crisis both!!! I’m gonna stop watching new series all together so I don’t get disappointed!!!
Don’t Cancel!!! We love this show.
Are you serious???? PLEASE keep Believe on the air! It’s hard enough to turn on the TV anymore without getting hit with yet another reality/talent/cooking/whatever show. It’s overkill, gentlemen, and we need something to watch that makes us think for a change. Don’t take this away from us, too….
I think its stupid to cancel a good shows what is wrong with NBC ! I think its stupid to keep dumb, stupid, lame, suckish shows.
I thought it was an awesome TV show with superb writing and directing, a cast of intriguing characters and awesome special effects. I enjoyed all the actors and especially the ones played by Bo and Tate. There were many positive messages that were given in every episode like forgiving others, getting a second chance, helping others in need and believing in yourself and others. It always made me feel satisfied when Bo went out of her way to help someone with her special skills. In the final episode, she helped Dani who was going to kill her by reaching out… Read more »
