Lillian Parkson

Lillian Parkson is a villainess from Body of Proof 's first season finale, "Broken Home."

She was played by Jill Eikenberry.

Lillian Parkson is the mother of famed socialite Nikki Parkson, who was suffering from a terminal illness and passed away suddenly. Nikki had been receiving medication for her illness, but unbeknownst to her, Lillian intentionally hid Nikki's medication and gave her sugar pills. The callous villainess enjoyed the attention she received due to her ailing daughter, and with that, the evil Lillian committed the ruse to continue receiving sympathy and attention; all while her daughter's health worsened. The reveal came as Megan Hunt and Detective Baker interviewed Lillian and her son, Billy, who ejected both of them.

Lillian's actions did not cause Nikki's death, as Nikki was murdered by her sister. Later on, during Nikki's funeral, Megan confronted Lillian, who was later arrested by Baker for interfering with Nikki's medical care. Billy gave Baker the medication that his mother hid; all the while, Lillian expressed shock over (what she considered) her son's betrayal and berated Megan and Baker for arresting her during the funeral.
