NCIS has entered a new era following the departure of Leroy Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon) in 2021, with new team leader Alden Parker (Gary Cole) heading up the action-packed series for the past two seasons. However, the CBS drama could already be starting to look for a new lead as a new promo for next week's episode reveals the senior agent will be taking a backseat to their next investigation.

Parker's time with the NCIS could run out following a temporary suspension from Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll).

The action continues next Monday with Old Wounds, which could shed more light on Parker's troubled but shadowy past before joining up with the FBI.

An official synopsis for the episode reads: "Parker grapples with his emotions when a con man from his past turns up as a prime suspect in the murder of a navy officer."
