[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for NCIS Season 23 Episode 9 “Heaven and Nature.”]

Welcome back to NCIS, Emily Wickersham! The Tuesday, December 16, fall finale ends with the shocking reveal that Knight’s (Katrina Law) new NCIS: Elite target is none other than Bishop — who has eyes on the team at the cemetery. She was last seen in the Season 18 finale.

Elsewhere in the last new episode of 2025 before the series returns on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, Parker (Gary Cole) got answers about his mother’s death and learned exactly who Lily is: the daughter of a cop who abused his family. Parker’s mother was killed by said cop while protecting Lily. Parker gets his closure when he meets the adult Lily, and he also is able to give his mom a proper burial (after it’s discovered that it was Lily’s mom’s body, not his mom’s, in her grave).
