NCIS Season 23 Reveals Shocking Turns and Family Drama

LOS ANGELES, CA — In the latest episode of NCIS, titled “Prodigal Son (Part II),” Parker confronts unresolved issues with Carla amid explosive drama. The episode aired on October 21, 2025, revealing twists that set the stage for future mysteries.

An explosion aboard the ship where Parker追赶 Carla reportedly kills them both. However, it’s soon revealed that neither was on board. Parker had left the ship out of concern for his team, hiding in Gibbs‘ cabin, while Carla faked her death, fleeing to Cuba with her granddaughter.

Parker’s urgent desire to locate Carla is complicated by an unexpected reunion with his sister, Harriet. Although Harriet had ordered an explosion, she did not intend for Parker to be harmed. Instead, she arrests him for interference, leading to a tense conversation while he sits in a jail cell. Harriet explains that her previous actions, including reporting Parker for car theft in his youth, were to protect him.

During their exchange, Parker expresses his frustration: “I don’t need another lesson, I need a sister.” The emotional climax occurs when Harriet, ultimately recognizing Parker’s need to confront Carla, releases him. This leads to a rescue mission to save Carla’s granddaughter, Lauren.

In a pivotal moment, Parker appeals to Carla during the rescue, using words he claims are from her late son. However, when she raises her weapon at Parker, agents McGee and Torres intervene, fatally shooting her.

The episode concludes with Parker and Harriet at their father’s funeral at sea. Harriet assures Parker that their father was proud of him, leading to a heartfelt moment as they and the team sing “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” As the episode wraps, tension lingers as Vance gathers the team for a cryptic discussion about Parker’s future. Vance’s comments suggest that he is determined to steer the team away from potential disruption.

Further intrigue arises when Palmer uncovers discrepancies in the coroner’s report regarding Parker’s mother’s death. This revelation hints at secrets yet to unfold, possibly involving another woman connected to Parker’s tumultuous past.
