NCIS season 23 has a new relationship in store, and it could bring worrying consequences. NCIS season 22 ended on a sorrowful note as Parker discovered the murder of his father, Roman. As a result, NCIS season 23 will continue with Parker’s search for justice against the murderer, Carla Morino. However, something even more interesting will happen in season 23.
NCIS Season 23 Will Highlight Parker’s Troubled Relationship With His Sister
According to a release by NCIS‘ showrunner, Steven D. Binder, Parker’s relationship with his sister in NCIS season 23 will mirror the difficult relationship they had when they were younger. As Harriet arrives to deal with the fallout of their father’s death, the atmosphere will already be tense due to the circumstances. Their sibling dynamic will not make things better.
As children, Parker and Harriet’s relationship was marked by their differences. Parker was a troubled kid who constantly got into trouble, whereas Harriet was on the good side and followed rules. Now that Parker’s actions had a hand in Roman’s death, their old sibling dynamic will come back into full force as Harriet judges the situation.
Parker’s Sibling Dynamic Could See Him Regress To The Self-Destructive Patterns Of His Youth
Dealing with Roman’s death will be stressful enough, but Parker’s difficult relationship with his sister might be what causes the most damage to his character. As children, Parker and Harriet struggled with getting along. This relationship may have stabilized over the years, but the current situation could bring back all these unwanted feelings and result in Parker’s biggest issue yet.
The biggest concern with his sister’s arrival is that Parker and Harriet’s relationship might regress to how it was in their childhood, as the childhood resentments from her come back. In turn, it’s possible that Parker will also regress back to the bad habits of his childhood. The resurfaced unhealthy dynamic with his sister could become a major issue.
Parker is a calm character, but Binder’s announcement revealed that was not always the case. In fact, Parker’s childhood seems engulfed in anger. If Harriet’s return brings up feelings from Parker’s childhood, then the consequences could be incredibly concerning. And if Parker reverts to the habits of his youth, that could severely affect his work at NCIS.
