It was in the\u00a0NCIS: Sydney<\/em> Season 2 premiere\u00a0that we learned Mackey (Olivia Swann) has an 18-year-old son when she opened up to JD (Todd Lasance). Now, in Season 3, we\u2019re finally going to meet him.<\/p>\n

Noah Eid has been cast in the role, TV Insider has learned. \u201cHe\u2019s incredible,\u201d raves showrunner\u00a0Morgan O\u2019Neill. Bringing in Mackey\u2019s son is tied to the\u00a0theme of the season: You can\u2019t outrun your past.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe central theme for Mackey, that if you ignore your past, it\u2019ll come home and you\u2019ll just increase the velocity of impact when it comes and gets here. Well, in some ways \u2014 not all the ways, but in some ways \u2014 the arrival of Mackey\u2019s son exemplifies exactly what it means when your past comes back and smacks you in the teeth,\u201d O\u2019Neill explains. \u201cHe will come back and he\u2019ll have a meaningful impact on the season arc as we get deeper into it. And Mackey will be forced to reconcile a whole bunch of decisions she\u2019s made in the past with what happens when the rubber hits the road in the present.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like viewers, JD was surprised to hear about her son in Season 2. Mackey was 17, a senior in high school when she had him. It was a lot, she agreed. \u201cMaking real-life decisions without any real-life experience? I would not recommend it,\u201d she said. \u201cFigured I\u2019d totally screwed up both our lives, living cliche, broke-ass teenage mom trying to raise a kid in small town America, but that is not how it turns out for us. Trey lives with my mom, we talk most nights, he visits during holidays. He\u2019s killing school. He\u2019s varsity point guard. And the best thing in my entire universe, best mistake I ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Might Mackey open up to JD again when her son visits? Could that lead to something happening between the two? Right now, JD\u2019s throwing himself into online dating, part of \u201cnot actually acknowledging the elephant in the room\u201d that is that possibility, said O\u2019Neill. \u201cWhen that comes back to hit him, it\u2019s going to smack him in the teeth.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are you hoping to see when Mackey\u2019s son shows up? Let us know in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
