This show was dedicated to Gary Glasberg, the showrunner (i.e. executive producer) on NCIS. Glasberg was also the creator of NCIS: New Orleans. He suddenly passed away at home in September 2016 at age 50. The entire dedication as it appeared on screen: "In loving memory of Gary Glasberg. Gary was our rock, our cheerleader, our team captain. He inspired us with his leadership, his creative instincts and his keen insight. NCIS will not be the same without him, and each of us will miss his smiling face and unwavering humor, which lifted us every day."
