NCIS Season 23 Explores Parker’s Revenge, Family Conflict

NCIS Season 23 centers on Supervisory Special Agent Alden Parker's quest to avenge his father's murder, believed to be orchestrated by mob boss Carla Marino, who blames Parker for her son's death. The season will explore Parker's troubled youth through flashbacks to 1977, depicting his rebellious nature and complex family dynamics, especially with his sister Harriet, introduced as a Vice Admiral. Showrunner Steven D. Binder highlights the tension between Parker and Harriet, reflecting their childhood roles as the 'problem child' and 'good child,' which will create sparks upon their reunion. The storyline involving the mysterious girl Lily, first introduced in Season 21 and linked to Parker's mother’s death, remains separate from the Carla Marino plot and will be further explored in future episodes. The NCIS team will monitor Parker closely to prevent him from going rogue during his personal vendetta while assisting him in tracking down Carla. These developments promise a blend of intense action, emotional depth, and character-driven narratives that delve into Parker's past and present challenges.
