The real story
Set to debut in the season 19 finale is "Vivian Kolchak," the ex-wife of "Parker." She's also a former FBI agent, and she'll be played by actress Teri Polo. She will also recur in NCIS season 20, per Deadline.
Teri Polo, 52, is a familiar face from TV and film. She's best known from Meet the Parents and series including The Fosters and The West Wing, among many others.
So it looks like NCIS will further explore the personal side of the newcomer "Parker." Gary Cole debuted as the NCIS lead after Mark Harmon exited as "Gibbs" this season.
NCIS season 19 has four episodes remaining, and it returns this Monday, April 18, after several weeks off. Expect to meet "Vivian" in the season finale.
