It is also the first-ever episode to feature Cote de Pablo (Ziva David) in the opening credits. As such, de Pablo also becomes a series regular and a member of the main cast, having been part of the guest cast in Kill Ari Part 1 (episode) and Kill Ari Part 2 (episode), a credit she would hold up until her departure from the NCIS series in the Season 11 episode, Past, Present, and Future (episode)
