With every step we take to the series finale, it makes Bo growing stronger bittersweet.

Warning: Spoilers
Trigger Warning(s): Terrorist Attack

With Believe officially being canceled, we are left with never fully getting to see Bo's potential, nor see if Winter's sacrifice, as well as those who work/ worked with him, maybe in vain. But, even if the ratings are in the crapper, at least the remaining episodes will be seen allowing some sense of closure.

Topic 1: Clairvoyance – Tate, Bo, and Agent Ferrell

With a nightmare about a bomb going off, and watching Agent Ferrell, her daughter, and Tate turn to smoke, Bo wakes up in a panic. Which, naturally, leads her to dragging Tate to where the bomb goes off, in a subway, in order to try and prevent the situation. Unfortunately though, though Bo could pinpoint the where, she can't pinpoint the when, much less where the bomb was. But, with Ferrell drawing her gun on Tate on sight, she scares off most of the people on the platform just in time for them to escape before the bomb goes off.

Leaving Tate, Bo, and Agent Ferrell just dirty, as Ferrell's kid seemingly has a collapsed lung. And with Sarah's injury comes a chance for Tate to try to sway Agent Ferrell, which originally is a hard task. For while he helps with her daughter, shows himself as a parent, and tries to connect with her, her duty continuously trumps her feelings. And just to note, considering how Bo helped Channing with her injuries back in the day, I found it strange she didn't even attempt to heal Sarah.

But, anyway, once they finally get above ground, Bo spots the terrorist, and Tate and Agent Ferrell chase him down. During this situation, the terrorist has Agent Ferrell, but Tate saves her, and then applies the Undertaker's "Hell's Gate" to knock him out. And seemingly, even with him saving her life, she is still too pragmatic to just let Tate go, or so it seems.

Topic 2: Channing Update – Channing/ Winter

After taking a bullet to the lower abdomen, Channing is in bad enough condition that originally she can't move, but after taking the bullet out, a band aid, and some sort of liquid being applied, she seems visibly better in a few hours and can walk, talk, and move about. All of which is very convenient, though considering how she answers phones before they visibly ring, maybe she has powers as well?

Topic 3: Meanwhile at Orchestra – Zoe & Roman

With Zoe making an enemy out of Dani, it has made her days numbered. For Dani has finally found a home, stability, and people unafraid of her powers, and Zoe is ready to take this all away from her. So, upon Roman's return from being in holding, and learning of Zoe's betrayal from Dani, he tries to give Zoe one chance to prove Dani a liar. Unfortunately for Zoe though, she falls into Roman's trap and this leads to one final chat between the two.

And as they speak in an interrogation room, Roman is left wondering why his right hand woman would betray him? Part of the reason is a love for Bo, the other because his ambitions have clouded his judgment, especially since Winter left with Bo. Which can be seen for in each "subject" we meet of Roman's, we see him aggressively try to compensate for the power he no longer has access to with Bo gone, and even Dani sees this and seems to have a slight jealousy over the importance of Bo. But, with her nowhere to be found, and Zoe showing herself as a liability, it seems Roman has no choice but to use Dani to be the Bo he needs. And to safeguard any complications, he has Zoe's mind wiped.

But, while Zoe wasn't allowed to walk away with the information she knows, seemingly Agent Ferrell and Sasha are. For perhaps after all Tate has done, Agent Ferrell, despite multiple opportunities, decided that while she may not help Tate and Winter, she'd rather not get in their way. So, she is now off the case. Leaving us with Tate and Bo returning to Winter's team, and a cute moment between Tate and Bo in which she says he is getting good at tuck ins.

And while likely we may not see the day, all this makes for an interesting setup for the eventual battle between Dani and Bo. For, Dani's jealousy of Bo I doubt could ever be easily placated. If anything, her jealousy over Bo is probably like that of Zelena's jealousy in Once Upon a Time. The life she didn't get she sees this child having, and with her finally finding a place to call her own, you'd think she would make sure there would be no reason to share the spotlight. But, with this getting canceled I doubt the final episodes may go that deep.
