This outside force most likely came into play after the events surrounding the Benefactor. I assumed that from what Lydia assumed, I guess. :P He had his powers from since season 4, at least. Doesn't seem right to know that his powers were always there, but not assume that his behaviour isn't a part of him either. How do we know that's an outside source controlling him?

I assume you posted this before you saw my previous post, so I'll just wait for your answer to that. His lost time and lack of memory is a huge clue. This season, specifically, lost time and missing memories are a sign of outside interference from the Doctors mainly but I think Parrish has something else, non-doctor related, going on.

Also the use of the playing card as a trigger and the effect it's had on him in the two scenes they've shown.
