In The Teenage Psychic season 1 episode 1 titled "01," we meet our protagonist, a high school student named Xiao Zhen who possesses psychic abilities. She can see and communicate with spirits, which makes her different from her peers. Xiao Zhen struggles to navigate adolescence while keeping her gift a secret as her traditional family does not believe in paranormal experiences.

The episode opens with Xiao Zhen assisting her grandmother with a ritual that will protect their home from evil spirits. Her grandmother tells her that she must always be careful with her gift and that it's not something to be taken lightly. From this opening scene, we learn that Xiao Zhen is not the only one in her family with supernatural abilities, as her grandmother is also a healer.

We then see Xiao Zhen at school, where she is a loner and keeps to herself. She sees a ghost in the school, but it quickly disappears, making Xiao Zhen feel uneasy. Later that day, she sees the same ghost in her friend's home. Xiao Zhen is determined to help the lost spirit, so she confides in her grandmother who advises her to follow the ghost and understand why it is in the mortal realm.

Xiao Zhen takes this advice and visits the girl's home where she finds the ghost's mother crying over her daughter's death. Through conversing with the mother, she learns that the girl died by suicide due to bullying at school. Xiao Zhen makes a connection with the spirit, and in doing so, she becomes determined to help the girl find peace and closure. She utilizes her psychic abilities and reaches out to her spirit guide, who instructs her on how she can help the troubled spirit rest.

As Xiao Zhen investigates the girl's death, she discovers a group of bullies who tormented her, making her life unbearable. She confronts the bullies' leader, Chen Kai, and breaks down in front of him, demanding that he and his friends acknowledge the harm they caused the girl. In the end, her confrontation leads to some type of reconciliation, which provides closure for the ghost.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhen's parents are struggling to make ends meet, and they are considering selling their home to a developer. Xiao Zhen's psychic abilities and her involvement with the lost spirit convinced her parents not to sell their home, and this allows Xiao Zhen to continue her spiritual pursuits in the familiar environment of their home.
