Alden Parker’s tumultuous criminal history may once again jeopardize his career with NCIS as Director Leon Vance compels him to take a hiatus. The latest promo for the upcoming episode hints at a chilling turn of events for the new team leader, portrayed by Gary Cole, who has been at the helm of the action-packed series for the past two seasons since the departure of Leroy Gibbs (Mark Harmon) in 2021.
The CBS drama’s 20th season, which recently resumed after a brief hiatus, is set to delve into Parker’s troubled past before joining the FBI. In the next episode titled “Old Wounds,” Parker grapples with his emotions as a con man from his history emerges as the prime suspect in the murder of a navy officer.
While the connection between a past drugs bust and the current murder investigation remains unclear, these two cases may unearth more details about Parker’s enigmatic past. The team, led by Parker, delves into the murder case involving a suspect named Benny, who is presumably the con man referred to in the episode synopsis and possibly a former friend of Parker.
Director Vance, portrayed by Rocky Carroll, believes that Parker’s personal connection to the case might compromise the investigation, leading to the senior agent’s temporary suspension. In a surprising twist, Vance announces to Parker, “Not anymore, you’re benched,” leaving Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) visibly concerned.
Despite the intensity of the previous week’s mission, which involved investigating a cold-blooded serial killer, there were no indications of Vance being dissatisfied with Parker’s field behavior. As the plot unfolds, viewers can anticipate a suspenseful episode exploring Parker’s past and the potential repercussions on his future with NCIS.
