In the latest season of 'Legacies', Julie Plec has given us enough reason to believe that in this show, anything is possible. From an innocent character like MG becoming a potential Ripper to Kaleb actually feeling guilt, the story arcs on the show have been unexpected and pleasantly surprising so far. There was also the case of Josette returning in 'Mombie Dearest', which initially had been interpreted as Caroline's fabled comeback. A twist no one saw coming, Jo came back for that one episode, gave Alaric and the twins the closure they needed, probably never to be seen again. We say probably because you know, it's a 'The Vampire Diaries/ The Originals' spin-off — anything is possible.

The latest question plaguing fans is a mysterious new character named Jacques Parker, who appears to be set to make a debut when the show returns later this month. There is nothing we know about the character except that he's going to appear in nine episodes of the season, according to the show's IMDb. The character is set to be played by indie artiste Archie L. Winston. Some fans sites claimed back in June that he may be playing Kai Parker's son in the spin-off while some dismissed it as just a rumor. Kai Parker was a Gemini leader in 'The Vampire Diaries' who had killed himself and his siblings by the time the story ended. There has been no official confirmation regarding the character but fans have some ideas as to who he may be.
The theory that Jacques could possibly be the son of Kai is highly improbable since Kai is a goner. However, since we did see Jo come back from the dead this season, it may not be entirely impossible. A more rational explanation to his identity would perhaps be that he is related to the family — may be a distant cousin, think fans, that is, if he's real at all. "I did read that JPlec has said, in multiple interviews now, that she 'is not done with Kai Parker'. This may mean some way of him returning (even though it shouldn't be possible at all), the whole Gemini Merge story arc means we have to expect some Parker family to come out of the woodwork!" said a fan, referring to Plec's TV Guide interview where she had mentioned that she still had big plans for Kai in her head.
"I really enjoyed the Kai character and the episodes he was in. After reading that JPlec isn't done with him, I assume now that with his return they somehow fix the Merge problem for the girls. Fingers crossed!!" the fan continued.
As you know, the Merge cannot happen without another Gemini member and the show has confirmed that it is indeed coming - so it would make sense to have a Parker bloodline come into the picture. However, fans think it is unlikely that he may make his debut, if he does at all, when the show returns from the fall break.
"Impossible to say who that was but if that rumor is a real deal, I doubt we see him in the next episode. The next episode is heavily Landon centered, the twins won't even appear and I doubt they introduce someone related to the twins' storyline without them being in the episode," noted a fan.
Episode eight, 'Maybe I Should Start From The End', Hope's bracelet that connects her to Landon lights up. Landon has been held captive somewhere and has been asking for her help. Somehow, Hope seems to know that it's severe — because she tells Alaric that if they don't hurry, he might die.
'Legacies' episode eight 'Maybe I Should Start From The End' airs on January 24 at 9/8c on The CW.
