NCIS season 23 could have a major Alden Parker reveal following the NCIS season 22 finale. Ever since the NCIS season 21 finale, Parker has been plagued by hallucinations of a young girl named Lily. While the mystery surrounding Lily remains, NCIS season 22 tied her existence to the death of Parker’s mother, Eleanor.
NCIS season 22 revealed a lot of information about Parker’s family history, but came briefly in concluding the mysterious storyline regarding the correlation between Eleanor’s death and Lily. The finale even concludes with an open-ended question regarding the contents of Eleanor’s death certificate. NCIS season 23 could build on this and finally explain Parker’s biggest mystery yet.
NCIS Season 23 Could Reveal That Parker’s Mother Is Alive
Parker’s Mother Being Alive Would Explain The Mystery Surrounding Her Death
NCIS season 23 could continue Parker’s confusing family mystery by revealing his mother is still alive after her supposed death. Throughout NCIS season 22, Parker enlists Palmer to help him discover more about his mother and Lily, while also keeping the findings discreet. Later, the NCIS season 22 finale shows Palmer having a strange reaction to reading Eleanor’s death certificate.
While the season ended before Palmer could reveal exactly what he saw that made him question the report’s findings, it clearly was not good news. Whatever Palmer read could then lead to Parker discovering that Eleanor never actually died in the car crash that the local news reported on. The whole thing could have been a cover-up.
The whole thing could have been a cover-up.
While the theory may seem somewhat far-fetched, it is within the realm of possibility. Parker’s father, Roman, was often tight-lipped about Eleanor, and it was difficult for Parker to get much information out of him. This, in combination with the fact that Parker’s memories of Eleanor are immensely repressed, could explain all the unknown elements of Eleanor’s death.
Parker’s Mother Being Alive Would Explain Parker’s Hallucinations Of Lily
Unlocking Lily’s Connection Could Be The Key
In NCIS season 22, Parker discovered that Lily was at the scene of the accident that took his mother’s life. However, it is possible that Parker already knew this and that his brain was just repressing the memory to protect him. Young Parker could have seen something that day that would reveal that Eleanor was still alive.
However, from the shock of Eleanor’s death, Parker could have repressed any memory from that time. This would explain Parker’s confusion about Lily’s presence in his mind. Now, after years of avoiding the memory of Eleanor’s funeral, Parker could be hallucinating Lily, who was present at Eleanor’s accident, as a way for him to uncover the truth in NCIS.
