Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 influenced Delilah's story arc on NCIS
According to NCIS executive producer Gary Glasberg, Delilah's story arc was based on the victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. While on a Television Critics Association press tour, he said:
“I remember seeing a piece on, I think it was the Today show, about a bunch of women who had really managed to start to pull their lives back together again. I wanted to try to capture some of that on our show. So the intent was — and is — to show someone who comes from a government background involved in something tragic like this and manages to persevere.”
Higher Education is the last episode of NCIS to air this year. The season finale, Too Many Cooks, will be released on January 2, 2023. Margo Harshman will appear in that episode, too.
