NCIS season 20 sees Delilah return sparks concern after ties to a case

Timothy McGee’s (played by Sean Murray) other half Delilah Fielding (Margo Harshman) is no stranger to finding herself in the thick of some of NCIS’ most dangerous and high-profile cases. As season 20 continues on CBS ahead of its winter hiatus and historic three-way crossover with LA and Hawaii, new plot details have emerged to confirm she’ll return – although it’s not going to be in the happiest of circumstances.Harshman’s return as Delilah will come in the ninth episode of the drama’s 20th run, entitled Higher Education.The episode is still some way away, unfortunately, with NCIS heading on a week-long hiatus after episode eight airs on November 21.This means that sadly there isn’t a teaser promo to give fans a peek as to what exactly lies ahead for Delilah’s return.However, the newly-released synopsis does provide some details as to what McGee and his wife will face and it’s far from pleasant.READ MORE: Fans are concerned Lucy Tara is leaving NCIS Hawaii NCIS season 20: Delilah Fielding return confirmed in episode 9 (Image: GETTY/CBS) NCIS season 20: Parker grills a young man about the case in episode 9 (Image: GETTY/CBS) NCIS season 20: McGee and Delilah in Higher Education (Image: GETTY/CBS) NCIS season 20: Jessica Knight flees in episode 9, Higher Education (Image: GETTY/CBS)Whatever the connection, it sounds like McGee will once again have a personal tie to a case – not for the first time this season.CBS has also released a handful of production stills from the episode to send excitement levels rising further for Higher Education.In one, Delilah and McGee can be seen wandering around the campus at Waverly University, presumably where the student had studied before their death.Delilah looks rather downbeat, unsurprising given the details of the episode, while McGee has his badge on show as he looks for answers.DON’T MISS:NCIS LA ditches Sunday slot as CBS confirms crossover dateNCIS LA season 14 hints at wedding disaster for Callen and AnnaNCIS LA viewers call for Hetty’s return as Callen makes huge decisionElsewhere, Jessica Knight (Katrina Law), Alden Parker (Gary Cole) and Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) appear to be thrown into the action to get to the bottom of the hit-and-run.Parker can be seen in one snap quizzing a young man by the name of Logan Kennedy (Zachary S Williams).While other photos show Knight and Torres taking their investigation to a frat house, only to be shown sprinting away as presumably, a development arises.But will fans and Delilah get the answers they want to the case?
