Warning: Spoilers for NCIS season 22, episode 15
When Lily first appeared to Alden Parker (Gary Cole) in theNCISseason 21 finale, many theorized that she was his sister who died on a boat. It made sense considering the timing of Parker’s visions of her, but then it became clear that he didn’t know who she was. It has taken untilNCISseason 22for Parker to learn some of the truths about his past, leading to him learning a little more about Lily.
After finally talking to his dad, Roman Parker, about his mom’s death inNCISseason 22, episode 15,CBS’NCIScharacterlearned that the stories he had grown up hearing were just that, stories. His mom had died because she crashed her car when driving while drunk, and it turns out that Lily was a child at the scene of the accident. If Parker didn’t know Lily and she was only at the scene, it doesn’t make sense that he would start to see her in visions. However,there is a chance there’s more from his past that he’s forgetting.
Parker’s Mom Swerved To Avoid Lily, Resulting In The Crash
TheNCISfranchiseshow’s most obvious reason for Lily to be at the scene of the crash in the newspaper article is that she was there at the time. It’s possible that she was playing out in the street,forcing Parker’s mom to swerve the car and crash. As emergency services turned up, Lily could have remained at the scene, potentially even feeling some guilt for what happened.
8 Most Terrifying Villains In NCIS
Since first premiering in 2003, NCIS has featured countless cases and criminals. Among them, a few villains stand out as being the most terrifying.
Since Lily could have been at the scene, she would have had to give a witness statement. It would explain why a police officer was talking to her at the scene in the photo, although the rest of the conversation would have happened with a parent present. The officer could have also beenoffering Lily some support after everything she saw due to the nature of the accident.
Lily And Parker Were Used To Continue The Affair
While theNCISMCRT leaderdoesn’t think that he knows Lily, it seems more likely that he does. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a reason for Lily to suddenly start showing up in his life.It is possible that Parker’s mom was having an affair, and that affair partner was Lily’s dad. Finding a way to meet would be easy, as the two could arrange playdates with their two children.
If Roman learned that his wife was having an affair and it led her to her death, of course he would want to move his children away so that they wouldn’t find out this truth.
Parker’s mom could have been driving down the street to see Lily’s dad that night, potentially after an argument with Roman, only to lose control of the car and crash due to being drunk. This could also connect to the first theory in that Lily was in the middle of the road as Parker’s mom drove to see her lover. If Roman learned that his wife was having an affair and it led her to her death,of course he would want to move his children away so that they wouldn’t find out this truth.
Lily’s Mom Also Died In The Accident
Lily Holds Resentment For Parker’s Mom’s Actions
Rather than Parker’s mom being involved with an affair with Lily’s dad, she could have been friends with Lily’s mom,allowing for another way for Parker and Lily to have playdates together. After an argument with Roman, she could have driven to Lily’s house to vent with a friend, and that friend could have been outside as Parker’s mom came up the street, hitting her in the process.
Parker’s Latest Failed NCIS Season 22 Romance Is Actually Good News For The MCRT Leader
Parker’s latest romance in NCIS season 22 may not have gone anywhere, but his attempt is a great sign for the MCRT leader and what he is capable of.
Even if they weren’t friends, Lily’s mom could have been another casualty that hasn’t been mentioned by Roman or wasn’t in the initial news report. This would explain why Lily was at the scene of the accident. With Lily facing such a loss, there is an element of anger and hurt, and it would make sense why she was now haunting the MCRT leader. If Parker’s mom caused the death of Lily’s mom, thenLily would want to put the blame on someone growing up, and Parker is the best option.
Parker Was Actually With His Mom When The Car Crashed And Saw Lily
There’s A Lot Parker Doesn’t Remember About This Time
The biggest question about theNCISseason 22 plotline is why Parker is seeing Lily as a young girl. It suggests that Parker saw her when she was young, and that he doesn’t know who she is today. With that in mind,Parker could have been in the car at the same time as the crash, surviving while his mom didn’t. As the brain is odd in the way it protects us from bad memories, the MCRT leader may not remember until the near-death experience brought the memories to the surface.

Of course, with that happening, Roman wouldn’t want to tell his children the truth about the crash. He would have been angry that his wife almost took the life of one of her own children,and he would have potentially held onto that resentment and anger for decades. It’s clear that he still hasn’t told the full truth, and part of the lie may be that Parker was in the crash.
Thanks NCIS Season 22, Episode 16 For Making Me Understand Why MCRT Is Notorious For Failed Relationships
NCIS is known for featuring many lovable romances, but not many successful ones, and NCIS season 22, episode 16 just proved these struggles.
Lily may have been in the street at the time or may have just seen the crash happen,leading to her running over to the car and seeing Parker in the backseat. It would explain how he had seen her, but if he had forgotten the crash, then he’s forgotten seeing her too.NCISseason 22 still has a lot of explaining to do when it comes to Parker’s visions of Lily. Parker is slowly getting pieces of the puzzle, but there is far more to the mystery than initially meets the eye.
