Lily Tyler (previously Moore) is a fictional character in the USA Network science fiction television series The 4400.
Lily was born August 4, 1966, and disappeared May 26, 1993, from Orlando, Florida, at age 26. Her parents divorced when she was at the age of 14. At time of abduction, she was married to Brian Moore, and is the mother to Heidi Moore. While she was in the future, Richard's DNA was extracted and put into her. She has the power of empathy and uses it to read Isabelle's feelings.
Another possible power of hers would be age transmission, i.e. to transfer day, or years from other people's lives to herself and vice versa. Since the instant change of age between Isabelle and Lily happened exactly after Lily was freed from the effect of the promicin-inhibitor, it's to be said that Isabelle, unintentionally, used her mother's power against her.
Whilst in quarantine following her return, she feels a strong connection with fellow returnee Richard Tyler, and is shocked but pleased to discover that he knew her grandmother Lily.
Returning home, she finds that Brian has remarried to a woman named Carol, who Heidi believes is her birth mother. Fearful of destabilizing his family, Brian refuses her access to Heidi, even threatening her with a restraining order.
She and Richard begin a relationship, and Lily discovers that she is pregnant- and that she became pregnant at some point after the abduction, yet before her return. She and Richard move in together, and Lily's attachment to Heidi fades somewhat as her own unborn child communicates with her, making Lily feel unwell as she secretly observes Heidi.
Eventually Lily and Richard come to the attention of Jordan Collier. Lily is distrustful of Collier, and as the couple move into Collier's estate for the 4400 her misgivings grow. Following an attempt by Collier to destroy hers and Richard's relationship, Lily and Richard escape the estate and go on the run, settling in a log cabin retreat. At the close of season one Lily enters labour.
Lily is on the run from both Collier and NTAC with Richard and baby Isabelle. Their fugitive status begins to affect their relationship, but they are shocked to discover Isabelle's abilities, which save their lives and enable them to keep going.
When Richard is taken into custody, Lily turns to Brian for help, and the two reconcile somewhat. Lily and Richard are finally persuaded to return to the 4400 Center, in large part as Isabelle "accepts" Jordan Collier as no longer being a threat. After Collier's death, Lily is asked by Matthew Ross to help Shawn Farrell and open a healing foundation as part of the centre. It is around this time that Lily is visited by Heidi at the center; Carol and Brian are arguing, and Heidi has learned that Lily is her birth mother. The two begin to form a relationship, but Isabelle becomes distressed at the sight of Heidi. Lily is later told by Brian that Heidi is now in hospital after her spleen ruptured, though she is recovering and asking to see Lily. Lily becomes sure Isabelle caused the injury through jealousy.
