NCIS Shocker: Who Is Lily, and What Does She Mean for Parker?
One of the biggest mysteries heading into NCISβ midseason break is the identity of Lily, the young girl haunting Parker (Gary Cole). First seen during his near-death experience in the Season 21 finale, Lily has reappeared, leaving fans speculating about her connection to Parkerβs pastβor present.
According to executive producer Steven D.
