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?
How sad to cancel such a great show….what in the world s wrong with NBC?
The same thing that is wrong with all the other networks, and many of the cable stations as well. It is the destroyer of quality TV, the king of all monsters. No, I’m not talking about Godzilla, but rather the horrifically outdated but still armed and dangerous Neilson Rating System.
NBC – U made a terrible mistake!!! You are rating unfairly during summer vacations… What do you expect! So much crap on TV…Believe was something to look forward to on Sunday nite.
This is a really good series. It was just getting started. Loved the characters and their development. NBC Please renew. At least if you replace it don’t add more so called “Reality TV”. The acting in believe is good. The writing continues to evolve. Save this series. People who watch really do like it. Needs better advertisement to become a hit like The Blacklist
This was/is a great show. It needs to be renewed and maybe put on at a better time. It is sad to think a great show like this would be cancelled but these horrible reality shows say on the air. What are we teaching our kids?
Please don’t cancel this show
Please renew the show, it’s interesting and it’s the first show that has a saint-like character. It’s a good show and it should be renewed, people just properly think the show is lame because it’s called believe but it’s not lame, it’s what I thought the first time I saw the title too. But I took a chance and tried it and now I love it.
yes please renew believe it is aa great show !
Wonderful show. Should be brought back!!
beleive needs to be renewed.i’m a huge fan and you can not leave me hanging like this
Believe was very good. I think it should be renewed!!!!
tv shows these days are either about sex or violence.I personaly think that this show relates to life in so many positive ways.Let them stay.
in the age of reality sex shows finally a decent family show and you bums go and cancel now what sense does that make?
We love the show please don’t cancel. We can watch it with the kids.
I love this show and I did let my friends know that if they don’t ring believe back then I’m not watching NBC any more..
This is the BEST show EVER!!!! I loved this show and if its cancelled I am going to be so freaking pissed!!! It brought tears to my eyes and made my heart feel such deep feelings!! I think this is better then any show..you name it..it’s BETTER!! It so better not be cancelled..please somebody else pick it up…ABC or CBS..NBC if you cancel it you are so dumb and I will boycott NBC.
